Hcg has me STRESSED.

Anyone with any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll go ahead and apologize for tmi. But were all adults here. So here it goes..
I'll start by saying, I've already miscarried four babies, and still zero successful pregnancies. And my husband and I have been "trying" for two years now...
I started spotting on the 7th of sept. And it made me worry so I tested first thing. It was positive (:
So I called my doctor and she said as long as there's no pain, I should be fine! As she thought it was implantation bleeding. Well I went that following Friday. Hcg levels showed 950. So as you could imagine, I was beyond happy!
Still spotting, with no pain, no cramps!
She brought be back in on Monday, sep. 15th for more testing.  She called me later to say that my hcg levels dropped to 728. And was very sorry to say, she thought I was going to miscarry again!? ):
I just feel so lost! And so very confused! As today the bleeding is even less and still no cramps! I've been through the miscarrying, I know how it feels! And this does not feel like that! I guess what I want to know is, is there any hope? Could everything still be okay with my baby?? I need something! Some sort of hope, guidance..anything. I go back for more blood work Thursday! But that seems like a life time away. Just please someone.. Help.

I also had an experience of miscarriage before when I was six wks.  
This time im pregnant 9 wks inserting progesterone supposittories and weekly blood draws that check progesterone level.  Good luck and get lots of bed rest, no sex, no hot shower/bath, and walk slow.

Ask your doctor about progesterone supplements that you insert into your vagina. I miscarried once because my hormones wouldn't support a pregnancy & my doctor wrote me a prescription for 200 mg a day. I was supposed to start it on day 14 of the next cycle to help me get pregnant, but to our shock & amazement, I was pregnant. Thankfully I had filled the prescription early because she had me start using them the night I had a positive pregnancy test. I credit the progesterone 100% for this pregnancy. I'm now 38 weeks & waiting the arrival of my baby boy. I wish you all the best with your pregnancy.
