miscarriage or not?

[Rachel.P]

monday night i went to a+e with cramps and bleeding. they kept me in and monitored me, told me it was a miscarriage, and that the baby probably died a few days - 2 weeks ago..
i would be 8 weeks this thursday.
i passed matter and tissue (sorry tmi) whilst i was still in hospital and the midwife that came to me confirmed that i had passed a yolk sac, so most probably a fetus too, if not, it was to come.
however i had a blood test this morning, to check that hormone levels were going down as they should after m/c. i waited for results and they told me that my levels were higher.
they asked me if twins were common in my family, which they are, with 4 sets in 3 generations!
they said nothing more but booked me in for a scan tomorrow.

i'm left thinking that i may have been carrying twins, but only m/c one.
is this possible? even if the baby hadn't died before, only on the day of m/c, my levels would still be on their way down, not up, so i don't know what's going on...

any ideas?
it's distressing enough losing my baby, but i feel like i'm being left with some hope that there's something there, when there probably isn't, and it just seems cruel...

How awful hunni... I'm so sorry, I just hope there's still a buba in there

I have heard of this happening to quite a few people who have been carrying twins and have lost one, fingers crossed that you still have a strong little baby hanging in there! Best of luck for tomorrow, keep us updated xox

It is possible hun, in fact, i hope so for you xxxx

 

[mumj18]

Sorry for your bad new hun. It sounds like there is a good chance there might still be a little baby in there. I really hope for you that there is. xx

 

[Rachel.P]

thanks girls, but i doubt it. i haven't had any symptoms through the whole 7 weeks, and with twins i'd expect SOMETHING....

i also have ovarian cysts, i'm not sure if that can mess with my levels...

HIya! Happened to me with DS I was told to go back to back sure all is clear on the scan! and there was a sac all healthy heartbeat and all!! They told me Im very lucky! I wud have had twins and they missed the second one first time round! The other babys sac was irregular and no HB, I bled for a few days with cramps and cloths! I felt like I was stabbed!

My son in now 7 years!!

aw i hope this is the case and you still have a buba in there...my 2 aunties had this happen to them, one m/c and thought that was it but hand had a period 8 weeks after and took a test...only to find out that she was as far as she should have been if not miscarried, doctors said that she had m/c the twin without realizing it she was having twins, and my other auntie had spotting and they saw one twin had died in first tri but both have healthy kids now.

all the best x x x

The same thing happen to me. I was pregnant with triplets and lost one. Ended up having my twins. My hCG levels were still going up like crazy for a week after the 3rd left. Im not sure why the levels never when down, but I think the same thing is happening to you. I will pray for you but it sounds like you are going through the exact same thing I did so their is still hope! Are you still having symptoms?

 

[lynzlogan]

I had this whilst carrying Leo (now 3) although a MC of a twin was not confirmed..but the amount of mass and clotting its obvs.
As when it happened the hospital i was at did not test for HGC as had only just opened.

 

[cosmotbear]

It sounds like a real possibility honey. There must be something going on for levels to be rising still. Keeping everything crossed for you for and keep us updated. (PS: lack of symptoms doesn't really mean anything, lots of us don't have any!) xxx

 

[laurenfreya]

It happened to my SIL she was cramping and bleeding throughout her first tri. Kept going back to the hospital and the doctors and they kept saying she had miscarried but every time she had a scan there was baby's heartbeat and hcg levels through the roof. Her daughter is 5 now.

 

[crazy mummy]
