Hi, I'm Cherry. I'm 20 years old and pregnant. Positive test on Sunday and Tuesday and had it confirmed by my doctor Tuesday only to start bleeding that day. I'm on my third day of bleeding at roughly 5 weeks pregnant with my cervix still closed. The doctors are all telling me I have no chance, the baby won't survive and that my hcg levels are too low (i'm a 12) The pain and cramping has eased up and as far as I know, i haven't passed anything. Is it wrong to think maybe the baby held on? :cry:

I go in today to see if my hcg levels have doubled like they're supposed to, maybe i'm not as far along as they thought? Maybe i'm only 4 weeks pregnant?
 
It's never wrong to hope, but that level of prolonged bleeding and HCG levels probably means that your doctor is right. When my HCG level got back to 12, my doctor told me that my miscarriage was basically complete and that she didn't need to monitor my levels anymore. I had my normal period 5 weeks later.

I'm so sorry, Cherry. This is an absolutely heartbreaking experience to go through. By all means, hold on to some hope, but start to prepare yourself for the worst, just in case. I'm so sorry you're going through this. :-(
 
I agree with Topango. The length of bleeding and the fact your HCG is so low is signaling a miscarriage, but do not lose hope that you will bring a life into the world Cherry. I am sorry for your loss. II know how hard of a time this is and wish you the best!! There are great people to talk to in this forum and in other forums, when you are ready to try again!!! Love and light to you
 
BTW, even though we may lose our babies, the love is not lost. I believe that my lost little one is with me in spirit and I will continue to hope, even though there are days I want to just throw my hands up.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, Cherry. You're in my thoughts today. xoxo
