HCG Levels/HELP

[Babybaw4]

Hello Everyone... I just found out last week I am pregnant.. When they did my first Blood work it was 140 which confirmed I was.. Then I went in on that monday adn went to 540 I went in today for blood work and its 660, nurse had said to stop taking my prenatal vitamins and watch for Cramping or Bleedingm Ok so are you telling me I am having a M/S? She said to them HCG level should be doubled? Well she is going by the books and thinking it should be doubled. I am in-tune with my body so needless to say i was very upset and been crying  :crying:  how do you want me to take that? She had said that more than likely its not going to  be a healthy pregnancy :( I go in Sunday for more blood work and than they will see.. Anyone experience this.. Please let me know.. I am thinking Ok my levels arent dropping,,

we'll keep your day going by quickly by posting for you and hoping for you!  I can't wait to hear what happens tomorrow. It sounds like you have a lot of support at home-my mom doesn't even know I am ttc. What time is your appt. tomorrow?

Thanks so much. I am still holding on hope. My numbers are increasing and I dont feel any pain, just  the normal bloating and flutters doc said I would feel. I go tomorrow and unsure if that is to early as I will be only 3-weeks. If they are counting  the day of my IUI which was on July 9, I assume they can determine if in fact its a Ectopic Pregnancy, in which I would think I would be in pain. I will keep you all updated. I really appreciate the feed back and advise. I dont even know how I can work all day, but I am hoping it will go by fast

Well all I have to say is ..BOO to that nurse! She should have never been so negative in the first place. When I had my m/c I knew it. At least a week b4 I passed naturally, lots of side pain, real dullpain, but constant. You kow somthing is wrong, and my numbers dropped drastically! yours are still going up, we are all pulling for you!

i just commented on one of the messages of one of the members here.  I had the same experience with my 2nd cycle.  i was really upset, disappointed and actually mad at the doctor when she CONGRATULATED me on my first hcg result.  if doctor congratulates you, wouldn't you think you're pregnant.  she actually said, it's positive, congratulations.  who wouldn't take that as a good news.  i trusted her so i took her word for it.  told my husband and family members.  after the 2nd hcg, it didn't double, so the nurse was the one who told me the sad news that it could be negative. i had a lot of questions why they would say positive and after 2 days say it was negative.  nurse said it could still be the effect of the medications i had, that's why it was still high during the first result.  i was at least expecting the doctor to explain all these to me but it was the nurse or maybe she was nurse practioner or maybe med asst but still i was expecting the doctor to tell me all those, so i thought maybe she was guilty for telling me the first news and taking it back.  they wanted me to have a check up with them after 2 weeks but i never went back and looked for another doctor instead.

Thanks I sure will. I go tomorrow and will let everyone know the outcome.. Your right my body is doing fine, no cramping, bleeding shoulder pain which I was told can be caused from Ectopic Pregnany. I'll wait and see tomorrow and pray I just prove them wrong

I am so sorry you are having to go through this! The support on here is great and I guess I would listen to everyone here over that strange nurse. Prenantals are a way to support you through the pregnancy too, so there is no reason to stop taking them. I know it is easy to say and hard to do, but try to stay positive until that u/s. Even then, take their advice with a grain of salt. Your body will tell you if anything is going on. Just try to stay focused on the baby. I wish you all the best and big hugs!!
