Low hcg of 42 at 3 weeks :(

[Sweetkat]

I am really sorry for your loss.

I don't have a happy ending as I had two MMCs in a row and now pregnant for a third time and keeping fingers crossed. The good thing is I got pregnant straight after my first period.

I am also absolutely paranoid that I will have another loss, but I believe everything can turn out well even after multiple losses.

Big hugs xxx

Iam starting to notice a theme here, every woman says at 3 weeks her level is 40-49 and they order more testing, frighten women i think its disgusting and for them to make money!!! Also, week 3 is the week of conception, so of course it would be 40ish, it starts off as 1 and doubles.....

She lost the baby. The two times I had low HCG at 3 weeks I also ended up losing the babies. It depends entirely on when you ovulate. I you KNOW when you for certain got pregnant in the early to mid cycle range you should have a higher HCG than what I had 49. If you don't really know yes, low HCG at the beginning is normal BUT if you ovulate as I did and knew when I got pregnant I knew the HCG of 49 wasn't where it should be.

I am sorry for your losses, its horrible, but i don't think hcg level at 3 weeks is significant to the losses, as it seems everyone is around this mark, at three weeks you have not even missed a period yet its so incredibly early. I really genuinely believe its a bad practice for hospitals to do these tests so early, like i have said there is a definite theme i am spotting on here. In the uk they don't do such testing, unless ivf or there could possibly be a problem that has a plan before pregnancy happens.

This is an old thread I started in Jan/Feb...
When I had the first miscarriage I was at 6 weeks...
And for this one I am having a D&C and its 8 weeks already...forboth there was a sac and nothing inside.

I agree and disagree. I don't see the point of early hcg testing. But with my 5 successful pregnancies my hcg was much higher and in my three unsuccessful ones I was at 40-49 each and each time my ob correctly suspected early on non viable pregnancies. Same with some of my friends.

Hcg levels have a lot to do with a cycle. In my case I ovulate early pull positives remarkably early and therefore by 3 weeks should have higher levels. My three week mark is more like the four week mark for other women as I ovulate at 10-11 days and implant fast.

I totally agree that unless there are good reasons they should not do the hcg testing. It causes major stress for women. I would rather have just miscarried then endure two weeks of the hcg testing stress because I was always close but just under enough to make the worrying much worse.

Will I ever experience the joy of being a mom one day...

Don't want to be a drama queen but how can one overcome two losses...maybe its just happening to me now and I am being pessimistic. It's just hard to stay positive.
Never thought this could happen...I thought pregnancy was going to be that wonderful journey but I had more sad moments than happy ones...

Anyone with 2 losses...that got some happy ending?

I'm so sorry to read your sad news hun 😔 thinking of you xx

In respect to your last question, ive lost a baby at 5 days old, lost a baby at 18 weeks pregnant, 15 weeks pregnant and then had 3 early losses (5 weeks x 2 and 7 weeks) 4 of those losses were in a row.
I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant. Certainly not out of the woods, so too early to state a happy ending but so far so good. Ive taken Asprin throughout this time.

I really hope you get some answers xx

Thank you for your message and I just read the story about your little angel...it made me cry...I can't even imagine how painful and heartbreaking it was...
I wish you all the very best on this pregnancy!

ps: as for me yes hoping to get some answers.

D&C procedure yesterday...more emotionally painful than anything else.
Healing time starts...
Hope to be in this "expecting group" in some months...
THANK YOU for all your messages, support and hugs!
See you in some months!

Oh Sky that is so rubbish. You wanted to know some happy ending stories. I can't tell you a good one that ends with a baby but as you can see from my sig I've had 3 miscarriages. However, I do feel at peace with it all and am excited about trying again so I think that is a happy ending of sorts?

I would say give yourself time to heal. Some women on here conceive the month after miscarriage and it's right for them. For me the first month I really struggled and couldn't think about doing much but it got better. Strangely going back to work quickly really helped as it gave me something else to focus on.

After all the tests came back clear I felt really down. I was expecting answers and didn't get any so be prepared that testing won't necessarily help. At that point we decided to take a few months off and book a holiday to look forward to which really helped.

All of that is for the future though. For now (things I found helpful): get someone to get shopping in and include plenty of comfort food. You probably won't feel like cooking but need to eat so simple stuff that tempts you is good. Diets are for another day. If you are alone daytime get oh to make u a sandwich up before he goes to work. buy nice tissues that won't scratch your face and allow yourself to cry as long as you want. Don't lift anything heavy.

and much love

Good luck to you too

Ladies,
I got the result of my D&C today and it said I had trisomy 16 that's the cause of miscarriage in the first trimester.

I am reading about it on the net...anyone had this before.
Also anyone had a healthy pregnancy after this??? Should I be alarmed and consult a specialist?

Also in the report it said it was a little boy...

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Little Bean on 12/13/14 and I know your pain. That piece of your heart will always be missing. Although I had a spontaneous miscarriage and lost the baby naturally, chromosomal abnormalities are the most common reason for a miscarriage, so although mine was not diagnosed, if I had to guess, it was something like trisomy 16. There's no need to consult a specialist yet (usually I believe it's after 3 consecutive miscarriages b/c miscarriage is actually much more common, unfortunately, than we even know). I lost my Little Bean in Decemember 2014 and got my next BFP at the end of May 2015. I went on to have a very healthy rainbow baby this past February. Sending you healing wishes and much baby dust!
