According to my LMP dates, I should be 8 weeks but according to scan, I show only to be around 5 weeks. A blood test done 3 days ago had my hormone levels at around 4k and today only at 5k. Dr said they should be at 8k by now so I will probably miscarry. Doing another test in three days to make sure but I'm still holding on to that last chance and possiblity that they got it wrong. I have had 2 successful pregnancies and this was my third, I have never miscarried before and never had any real problems that I knew of. I am still with the same partner so nothing was different this time except we're 2 years older. I have had no bleeding of any sort since my last LMP but I am a little crampy feeling today, just after getting the terrible news (hoping its just a subconcious thing.....)

there are so many different things that it could be. i had five miscarraiges before having my first son! i started bleeding with all mine tho, and thats how we knew i was miscarry, so if your not bleeding yet thats a good sign! with my last miscarraige i was fine up until 12 weeks and then i started bleeding and went to dr and did sono and the baby had stopped growing around 7 weeks, they said that i would miscarry in a few days! so, with my experience i have always started bleeding and i didnt know that you hcg level would raise (at all!!) if you were gonna miscarry! so im wandering if maybe instead of being 8wks, you are really only 5wks and thats why you hcg isnt as high as it would be if you were 8 wks along! (going by lmp is only an estimate) anyway, all i can say is that it doesnt sound like any of my miscarraiges but they arent all the same!!! like i said since your not bleeding so thats a good thing, so just keep on hoping and maybe they are wrong!!! i wish you luck and i hope that all turns out well for you!

Oh I'm very sorry, that is terrible to hear from your doctor. The fact that you are not bleeding is great as that is usually the first sign of miscarry along with cramping. I just want you to know that it is not your fault if you are having a miscarriage. Unfortunately it just happens and it's not something that you've done or can prevent. Statistics say that 20 - 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. It's very common and very sad. I'm very sorry but hopefully this isn't happening at all to you and everything works out. I'm wishing you the best of luck for a healthy pregnancy!

I am sorry for what you are going through. A lot of women miscarry and they don't even realize it . Its because they don't know they are pregnant. Some times a pregnancy isn't solvent, meaning that some thing didn't go right when everything started forming and so it stops. Just know that in the end things will be ok . That they will be as they should be. Best of luck to you.

Well your lmp is somthing to start from but often times these could be off especially in the beginning. Keep hoping. Your Dr. may just be trying to mentally preparing you for the worst. Or maybe he's not a very good ob. I would try to find a good Dr. if your new to the area ask a pharmacist for a good OB in the area.

Just keep the faith and don't talk yourself into it, the mind can really cause things to happen like this. I dont think that your doctor should have said this truthfully. As long as your levels keep going up there is hope. Maybe you had a later implantation and this is why the baby is measuring smaller. I hope that you end up having a healthy baby, good luck and keep the faith that it will be ok.

If your numbers aren't doubling, that isn't a good sign. I'm very sorry. It's nothing you or your partner did wrong. Miscarriages happen. A lot of the time they happen because of a flaw in the DNA. It doesn't mean this will happen to you again. Most miscarriages don't have a reason. I hope your next test shows that your numbers have doubled. Good luck hun.

You hold onto that hope.
Stay in bed as much as possible. Have hubby bring you food and only get up to use the restroom till the test.
Lay on your left side, to increase blood flow. Do this as long as you can.
Good luck hun. I will say a prayer to night.

It is a sad situation but but sometimes things just dont "take" properly. Miscarriages are more common than you probably realise and most woman who have them don't even realise they have. You are still early enough where it is healthy FOR YOU to miscarry. Try to focus on your health and the fact that your other children need you.

each pregnancy is different. It doesn't matter if you do the same thing everytime, each pregnancy is different. It's sad, that you may lose the fetus, but in the end it's better than having a baby with problems.

we, let's hope that you will be ok...Maybe your HCG levels just take their time getting up there in your early part of pregnancy...I know that I could never use a urine test to prove that I was pregnant, because I din't have high enough HCG levels to show it for the longest time...for both of my pregnancy's...I hope that is all it is for you...Good luck, I hope you will be ok..
