Positive test after miscarriage

[laura1985]

I found out i was pregnant the 2nd week in August. My doctor did a quanative because I have had several miscarriages before. My quanative came back at 5,400 and the doctor ordered a trans-vag sonogram. We saw a yolk sac on the sono. On 09/06/07 I went to the hospital with bleeding and period like cramps. They did a quanative and it showed my numbers to be at 3,800. They also did a trans-vag sono again and they saw nothing. Since the miscarriage I have still had all the symptoms of pregnancy (nausa, frequent urination, ect) and figured that my system is just kind of out of whack. I felt misrable yesterday so I looked on the internet and found that it is possible to lose a twin. My doctor did not check my quanatives again because of my previous miscarriages and just ruled it as a Full Spont Miscarriage. I took two home pregnancy test last night and they came back positive. My doctor wants to have me come in for a quanative, but Iam leaving for vacation today. He says thats he's not sure what is going on. Can someone tell me if this is possible? Could the HPT be right?

I havent been able to go back to the doctor for another quant yet because my boss wont let me off work early! On top of that my insurance hasnt kicked in yet so the lab is charging me 113$ a pop to get a quant. It's getting pretty expensive. Going to wait another two weeks and go in and get tested. The last quant I had was on 09/28. We'll see I guess!

Good for you! it sounds like he's happy with what hes seeing and just wants to see exactly how far you are? laura1985 i agree with Mommy_3 you should have another beta check to see if your numbers doubled since then.
Mommy_3 my last level was 2259 and twins were not a concern with my doc. i am getting a transvaginal next week, she said that it may even be too early to see anything. i hope not. thats all i need right now!

I spoke with the office, they said he didn't say a thing about two just to come in on Monday for an u/s. Time will tell. I guess I just have to be patient.

did you have another quant hcg done after the one that showed 1020, I would think that would be an easy enough way to tell. If it goes up from there then you are still pregnant if it goes down further then you're probably not.
