****Sensitive*** Miscarriage

Hi ladies,

I have a scan tomorrow to determine hopefully once and for all of this pregnancy is viable or more than likely not. I know in my heart of hearts it isn’t. My question is once they tell you to stop the meds will I bleed naturally or do I need intervention. I am 7 weeks today. I have had D&C’s in the past but I am not sure if it applies at this stage. My bHCG was 7,339 yesterday.

Thank you x

I hope this isn’t the case for you. I was told to continue the meds for a week but started bleeding 4 days later and they said I could just stop the meds then. I think it depends on your circumstance and what they can see though.Sending love

Thank you. I am on oestrogen and progesterone. I often wonder if these are just prolonging an inevitable.

Isn't that HCG about right for 7 weeks? I always understood as long as it was over 4,000 it was ok? Hoping that you find everything is fine at your scan.

Whenever I have had a miscarriage post 6 weeks my body hasn't realised and I haven't bled but needed surgery but everyone is different

I am hopeful that you won't need to worry. Good luck x

I am really not sure. Google has such high numbers. I had a scan last week and the gestational sac was smaller than average. I think with both combined the outcome isn’t positive. I had a d&c last year but I was already under the consultant, this time o don’t even know if I get referred.

I really do not want to have more ambiguity for another week. I have known in my heart since the first beta that this wasn’t going to happen. It was just so low.

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.

I am really hoping everything is ok and that it is not a miscarriage. I thought that HCG level sounded ok...but I am not an expert....

Whatever happens wishing you well for tomorrow.

I am in the same boat as you. I had my 6week scan yesterday and was told to come back again next week as they could only detect the sac and yolk but nothing inside. I pray for both of us that week 7 is the week that there is development and no miscarriage! Hope your scan goes well x

Thank you for the comment. Last week they could see sac yolk sac and fetal pole but the sac was very small, no HB though. I am sitting here now waiting to be called, first up 😂 my HCG went up from last week but not enough. I honestly just want confirmation at this stage. I hope you get positive news next week. It’s horrible being in limbo land.

Hi ladies, I am now in a&e of the EPU. Sac has grown but its not viable at this stage. Measuring 6 weeks and should be 7. They are worried about the high HCG and maybe the second embryo I had transferred is buried somewhere.

I really appreciate the comments x

I'm so sorry that you have to go through that. I know how devastating it is plus anxiety to not know what's really going on. I hope they will find the reason soon. Hang on there xxx

Hi. It’s on going but not for the good. I have to be rescanned on Thursday, but it will more than likely end in a D&C. How are you?

I’m so sorry to hear this 😞 I can’t believe you’ve had to wait so long to get answers. I’m really worried the same will happen with me. I miscarried 5 weeks ago which was an IVF pregnancy (our first round failed to implant) and now miraculously fell pregnant naturally but my HCG levels aren’t rising much so they’re it is likely to be ectopic or unviable… Feeling pretty gutted either way as didn’t expect to have to go through this just weeks after the last time xx
