Two weeks ago, I went into the ER cause I started bleeding and cramping. I had just found out I was pregnant 3 days before (I was less than 4 weeks pregnant). They drew my blood and my HCG came back at just under 4. They said I miscarried which I believe. But, they never checked my levels again to make sure that they went down and were not going up. They just assumed I lost the baby due to my levels. I have been having all my pregnancy sypmtoms now and I was wondering if you would take a HPT to see if there was a chance they were wrong? They wont draw my blood again, I already called to see. Or do you think I should just trust what they said. He also said that my cervix was "closed". All answers are welcome. Thank you

Definitly trust your intuition and go get a second opinion. Just because they're doctors doesn't mean they aren't human. They make mistakes too.

Take a HPT to ease your worries. If you are not then you will know for sure. If it comes out positive then you can schedule an appt and they must draw your blood then. You really need to know if you are to keep the baby healthy. You need to realize sometimes your mind can play tricks on you when you think you may be pregnant. You can actually seem to have the symptoms of pregnancy. Take a test and you will have your results and know what to do next. Good luck

Please go to this website......http://www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com/
It is a group of women who have been where you are today. Some of have been told they were to miscarry only to find out our doctor's were wrong. Other women believe they may have been pressured into a d&c and wonder if they were improperly diagnosed. Some women here go on to have healthy pregnancies and some women go on to miscarry. No matter what your circumstances, they are there to offer you support.
Everyone on this is correct. Go get a second opinion at once. I am no doctor but if you have a feeling about something then it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion. I would considering this is such a serious thing. Keep yourself stressfree and healthy.

You really need to go see your doctor, to be on the safe side on all counts.
I will say this however. I have heard from a doctor and from women who lost theirs, that while you may have lost your baby, your body is not entirely catching up on that fact. Which means that your body will still continue as it was beginning to change to accomodate a pregnancy. It may take your body a little time to continue to adjust and it may all go away rather soon.
But either way, call your OBGYN to discuss all of this with him/her. They are going to be your best and safest answer - and most accurate as to what is going on.
So sorry for your difficulty. Hope things work out for you, good luck!

A home pregnancy test will not be accurate at this point. You need to get another blood test if you want to check your levels. If they are giving you a hard time, you need to switch doctors.

Doctors make mistakes I suggest that you every thing in your mean to find out exactly what is going on. Assuming is one thing and knowing is another. If you really want to know go to every doctor in town until you get the answers that you are looking for

sWEEITE GO GET ANOTHER CHECK. Things like this happen alot. They assume one will miscarry and then boom they are still pregnant. Also, You maybe symptoms even if you miscarry. But you need a piece of mind. So go get checked again.
