Hi chrystal, I miscarried last week, I was
just under 5 weeks pregnant. My bleeding
lasted the same as a regular period and my
doctor told me we could start trying again
right away.
My doctor also told me to go back for
another blood test so they can check the
hcg levels and make sure it's all going
back to normal, so i'm going next
thursday.
Maybe you could do the same, get a blood
test, just to see where your body's at?
How long did you bleed for?

My suggestion would be to go back to the
doctor. My doctor was going to get me to
have an ultrasound if I didn't start
bleeding last weekend, but I did so now
i'm just going for the blood test.
How did you find out you were going to
miscarry? I had 2 blood tests, about five
days apart and my hcg only went from 22 to
29, there was no hope that my baby would
make it. I think this next blood test is
to make sure the hcg levels are all the
way down, to make sure the miscarriage was
complete. Sometimes, if it's not complete
your body will still think it's pregnant
and things get stalled, and then there is
also the risk of infection.
Do you have a follow up app't with your
doctor?

I never made it to the doctor my first
apointment was on tuesday and I had to go
to the hospital on the sunday 3 days b4 my
apointment I only had that one blood test
and the number was only 8 thats all the
Dr. At the hospital said he told me there
was no need to have a dnc done bcuz it was
prolly a malfunction at conception

Same with me, no d&c needed cause it
happened so early. Still seems weird that
you only bleed for a day though... I only
miscarried last weekend, so I wouldn't
expect my period for another 3 weeks. I
am charting my temps and cm so i'm pretty
sure that my body has reset itself cause
my temps were low, but today I had signs
of ovulation, which seems really early but
i'll know better when I take my temp
tomorrow.
I'd still go back to the doc, if they said
you should have had a heavy bleeding and
you didn't maybe get it checked out? I
would, but i'm kind of obsessive about
that kind of stuff

That is what is confusing me I wish I knew
what was going on with my body since I
have yet to have a period my doctor doesnt
deliver babies so I have to go between 5
Dr. That might be on call when I go into
labor so would I just go to the hospital
to get another blood test done ...And the
level would be at zero if my body has
restarted right?

So sorry to hear of both your
miscarriages.It is so sad to lose a
child,no matter how far along you were.I
hope both of you are able to conceive
again as soon as you are able.Please talk
with your doctor crittle,and get the
advice you need.Best of luck to both of
you.Patty
