Another miscarriage

We had a ectopic miscarriage back in Oct. Found out last week that I was pregnant again and was about 5 weeks along. My Dr just called me and told me that my numbers were not rising like they need to and that I could expect to  start miscarrying any day now. This makes 2 within 6 months. How do you not lose hope and not give up?

This would be around the time I started my period too...I just called my Dr and left a message even though I'll see him in the morning...

So I hadn't miscarried or had any symptoms I was going to, just more regular pregnancy symptoms so I called the Dr and he ordered another blood test. Did the test yesterday and they called today to say my levels had gone up! To like 1250! Which is doubling like it should from last week. So we scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow morning. Then tonight out of no where I get some mild cramping (nothing to bad) and go to the bathroom and there is blood! And then I passed a big chunk of tissue or something. I am so heartbroken and confused! How could my numbers start rising like that and then all of a sudden have that happen??

Don't get discouraged. Slow rising hcg level is not definitive. Unless you have a declining hcg level the pregnancy is still moving forward!

I'm so confused. They said my numbers were 170 last Wednesday. Then Monday I went to have my levels checked and my progesterone checked, they said my levels were only 176 and that's when they said I would miscarry within a day or so. I have not has ANY symptoms of a miscarriage at all...in fact I'm still having several pregnancy symptoms! We are suppose to check numbers again but my doctors office hasn't called me back (I called them Wed morning and asked why they think it keeps happening and what we could do, etc...as well as when we would test again). I'm so confused and frustrated!

ive suffered a few losses so far in my life but was blessed in my life to conceive 4 healthy children naturally. i know how difficult it can feel like its your fault or something but its not and as much as i wish i could say it would never happen again i cant but just know hun that babies are the biggest blessing and nothing so great comes easy, just keep trying and relax because stress can make it oh so much harder. also i wouldnt write off your pregnancy yet i have seen alot of peoples numbers slowly go up and baby be just fine so dont get stressed just relax and if this baby is meant to be it will be :) i wish you the best in your current and subsequent pregnancies :)
