preggo afteR 2 successful and 3 miscarriages SCARED
Im 4 wks along and my blood work was 348 today... doc said thats normal for hoe far along i am but im scared to death. Go back friday for blood work again hoping it goes up... but is that really normal for 4 wks (348)
congratulations :) and feeling scared is a very normal emotion especially if you have had miscarriages before, for your hcg number its generally not the total, but what they do thats important, the need to rise by at least 60% for a pregnancy to be considered viable, but in saying that, your hcg numbers are really good for 4 wks, theres a wide range thats considered normal for 4 wks it ranges from 5-430 and for 5 wks 180-7400 :)
Congrats! I can understand your worry. I lost twins last august and another in December. Now I am 4 weeks pregnant and spotting. My beta test was 89. I am going for a second blood test today to see if the levels are rising.
I wish you good luck and hope this pregnancy is successful :)

That is wonderful Supermommy! We should be having our babies around the same time. This will be the first living child for us, if we make it to the end. We are so excited. Can't wait for the ultrasound to see if this pregnancy is viable.
I just found out on Friday that I am pregnant but my Dr said to hold on before celebrating. I've had 4 miscarriages and we weren't trying this time. I went and did my blood work, hcg was at 20, will go back this Friday to check again. Crossing fingers for a viable pregnancy!!
Jovial I am praying for you too! I sure hope that all of us are going to have successful pregnancies!
Well, I got the call regarding my HCG level......it's not at 67, last Friday it was 29. It's an increase but I'm a little discouraged, since I'm spotting :-(
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
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!
All I can do is wait. I go back Monday to do another blood draw. I'll update you with the number then.
