Hello all,
I have been a post stalker for the past 2 1/2 years and just now doing my first post! I have seen some on this topic but wanted a fresh perspective.
My husband and I have been TTC for 2 1/2 years & diagnosed with the ever so vague unexplained infertility. We did 2 IUI with clomid with no success. We were about to try IUI #3 with U/S monitoring but decided to wait a month and low & behold I got a + test on day 36 of cycle. I had spotting before I tested and thought it was AF. I had intermittent spotting after I had + and then consistent brown spotting for 5 days with left sided intermittent cramping (apart from a 3 hour consistent stretch). According to first day of last period, I would be 6 1/2 weeks. But according to OV, I am likely closer to 5+ weeks. Went to clinic as I was concerned about spotting & 1 sided cramping (EP?). Was given Rhogan as I am O- & hubby is O+.
Through all of this, I have had 7 beta HCG's done. Results are below:
Day 36 - 322
Day 38 - 529
Day 42 - 483
Day 44 - 613
Day 47 (today) - 822
I had transvag US at docs on day 44 but they could see nothing. Doc there prepared me for MC. I have another US booked in 3 days and another HCG in 2 days.
My questions are:
Can you have had a miscarriage that has not passed yet & HCG still rise? I have next to no spotting now & only occasional cramping (still 1 sided).
I know my HCG's are way low to where they should be - has anyone had a successful pregnancy with HCG's this low at this point?
I am praying that day 49 HCG is over 1000 so seeing something on US is more likely and pray that I see a healthy embryo!
Any input any of you have would be so helpful!!!
:wacko:
 
Didnt want to read and run..

Hope day 49 went better...Unfortunately rising, dropping and rising again HCG can indicate a ectopic...I really hope this isnt the case for you.

You might have better luck getting an answer on one of the other forums as many women are still ttc and haven't gotten as far as you have yet, so many probably won't be much help. I could be wrong.

Hope everything works out for you. :hugs:
 
I'm sorry you're stuck in that waiting game. I know how hard this is. I've been there, but sadly, it didn't end well. My 2nd miscarriage was at 6 1/2 weeks. My hcg levels looked just like yours, low and going up and down. At 6 weeks, I had a U/S and they found an embryo in-utero (so not ectopic) with a heartbeat. I was hopeful, but cautious. 5 days later I lost the baby:cry: I was upset and scared I would never get to be a mom, but on the very next cycle I got pregnant again, was put on low dose-aspirin and progesterone and had U/S every 2 weeks for the first trimester. My little rainbow girl is currently sleeping in her swing...and just woke up. So hang in there, I pray you'll have a happy story to share:hugs:
