Someone Please Tell Me What You Think..... Posted: 11-17-05 14:28pm
Okay here's my story. I found out I was
pregnant 2 weeks ago from today, the
sunday after that I started bleeding
really bad so monday morning I went to the
er and they did my hcg levels and they
were 74 they said I was about 1-2 weeks,
they told me I was miscarrying and to go
to my family doctor on friday to check
them again. In between monday and friday
I bleed heavy for sunday and monday,
tuesday and wednesday really light,
thursday it stopped. Friday I went to my
doctor and he took my hcg levels and I
told him what had happened and he said yea
your having a miscarriage also, I started
brown spotting after I went there. My
hcg levels came back and they were 145, so
he said I was still actually pregnant.
Well I have been brown spotting and
bleeding every now and then since last
friday no cramps or anything like that
just brown. He told me to go to my ob.
So I did yesterday. They checked my hcg
levels again and now there back down to
83. I don't know what's going on and I
want to know if anybody has gone through
this before. I am scheduled for a
d&c on monday but what if i'm not
miscarrying? Right now I have no
bleeding, no cramps or anything like I did
last week when they told me I was
miscarrying. I just don't know what to
do and was wondering if anybody else has
gone through this?

Hi Posted: 11-17-05 14:40pm
I would definitely get more opinions.If
you are only 1-2 weeks along there should
be no reason for a d&c anyways.The
body will cleanse itself out.If you were
anywhere from 6-40 weeks than yes they
would have to do a d&c.I don't
understand and your doctors seem a little
confused about the whole process.Sorry I
can't be of more help

You have a right to get another opinion
from another Dr.
Good luck

Threw out my first pregnancy I bleed up to
6 months. I would go back and forth to
the er and pray each time wonder if this
was the end of my pregnancy. They just
keeped on providing me with ultrasounds
and on bedrest. My doctors told me
unless you see white meat in your bleeding
you aren't miscarrying. All pregnancies
are different for example right now I am
pregnant with my second and I feel
something might be wrong cause I am not
experiencing any type of bleeding like the
first. Please hold on and let time pass
before going for a dnc. Or get a
different type of ultra sound from
different clinics or doctors. I hope it
all goes good for you don't give up hope.

The exact same thing happened to me
earlier this year. My end result was a
miscarriage, but I did not need a d&c.
Your body should cleanse itself out on
its own if you are actually m/c. I had
weird bleeding/spotting on & off. I
finally m/c @ 7 weeks.
My hcg levels were not as high as the dr
said they should be, so she kept checking
them & I had us's in between. At one
point my hcg levels went down, but the us
said that there was growth?? I have no
idea what the heck went on. I even lost
masses (which the dr told me to bring in
so I did)& my hcg levels had still
gone up. Come to find out the mass I had
took in was determined to be products of
conception!!!?!! But I was still
"pregnant" @ the time. Have you ever
heard the saying "there's no such thing as
being a little bit pregnant - you either
are or your not". Well I say that there
is a such thing. All you can do is go day
by day. Any more questions - just ask!

Amanda:
it seems they would have explained
everything to you. Their supposed to.
Did you ask? I would confidently say that
you are miscarrying with your levels going
down. But like the others said you would
not need a d&c this early on. I think
you need to ask the docs why they insist
you would need that and possibly find
another doctor. Best of luck to you.
