hcg levels dropping

[melandjae]

on April 4th-6th I took a HPT. AF was due on April3rd. all three test said neg no faint line.  I had what seemed like a normal period on April 6th. I started spotting on the 19th-21st (I have never done that before) I took a hpt on the 22nd. had a very dark positive. I started bleeding on the 23rd so I went to the ER. My hcg level was 869. they did an u/s and didn't see anything and told me my levels were low. I went to my ob on the 25th. I was still bleeding we did more blood test. 20th hcg level was 500 21st was 296 today is may 1st I stopped bleeding a few days ago. I don't go back to the ob for more blood test until the 4th. HPT still says positive. Im driving myself crazy! Is there any hope for this pregnancy? I just don't understand how on the 6th of April I tested neg on about 5 different test. but by the 23 my hcg was 869?? has this happened to anyone?

sounds like your spotting before the positive test was implantation bleeding, but as far as the hcg level dropping now I can't say. :/

Unfortunately if your levels are dropping like that it's not usually a good sign.
