All I can do is wait. I go back Monday to do another blood draw. I'll update you with the number then.

That is really strange. I can imagine how frustrated you must be not knowing what is happening with your body. I can understand you not wanting to have false hope.  What do they suggest you do now? Just wait and see!

Okay ladies, I am totally baffled!!!! I went in for my weekly lab work, hoping to find out that I was either complete or close to it and my hcg levels went up to 319. Now previously, my body didn't want to let go but my levels did decrease. I am so frustrated, I came to terms with me having another miscarriage but this false hope is killing me!!!!

Thank you very much! I hope I can get some answers. No, they didn't ask to do any tests and I was at the point of just getting a referral to the specialist. Army hospitals are not the best when it comes to OB.  The last 2, I didn't make it to 7 weeks. I'm on my 2nd marriage and we don't have any children together. My husband is a wounded warrior and we're wanting to have another prior to him retiring (once he does, we have to go thru the VA and that's not too pretty). I'm just hoping that we can and nothing serious is wrong.

Jovial81 my heart goes out to you.  I was sure praying for you and your baby.  I sure hope the fertility specialist can help you figure out what is going wrong.  It is so heartbreaking and discouraging when you go thru a loss. We're you able to get testing done this time? I know that can sometimes help the doctor figure out what is happening. I had it done last miscarriage, but unfortunately it was inconclusive. They tested the wrong cells, they tested mine. It was a blighted ovum, so that really didn't have much to work with.

Sadly, I did lose another but my Dr put in a referral to see a fertility specialist an hour away (closest one).....just waiting for the office to call for an appointment. I guess now I have accepted the fact that there is an issue, just not knowing what.
