possible miscarriage ( long rant )

has anyone had a " threatened miscarriage " ? I had my bloodwork done lastnight at the hospital due to my bleeding.. i am 4-5 week they saw a sak n yolk my hcg was 7084...i was told by my ob today to get my blood drawn again so about 15 hours after my first draw my results for hcg was 7284 and my progesterone was 6.5.. has anyone had thesae numbers with bleeding and didnt MC? they wouldnt give me a direct answer.. i asked them if they would presribe me anything for the progesterone and that said not now until they see if my pregnancy is viable ?? WTF a lil mad at that one ..but she did make sure she gave me instructions for incase i bleed heavy and all that stuff how i need to go to the ER its almost like telling me get ready ur baby is gone in not so many words but i do have to go back same time on wed. to do another draw to see if i dbl my hcg i called out from school for the next few days to keep my feet up n relax imma remain or atleast try to remain stress free. I am also trying to be positive and accepting if i do lose this baby we will try again but it still hurtsa with the thought of it and my BF he isnt to understanding he expects me not to cry tells me god will make it be ok .. yeah hello bleeding over here cant help but to cry right now he is trying but just not comforting to me cant even tell him how i feel about it or discuss it. sorry for the rant but im alone with this no family whre i live just work n school thats all i know lol ..

I can't help with the blood draw #s because my docs never would draw them...however....at exactly 13 weeks i went to the ER because I started bleeding.  Any time you bleed and you go to the doc or the ER they call it a threatened miscarriage or my personal favorite(not) threatened abortion.  I do know that they say that your HCG should double in the first few weeks every 24 or is it 48 hours?  I can't remember.  They never did the test with me.  Just wanted you to know that they call it that anytime you bleed...even if they can't find a cause and they couldnt with me.

My thoughts are with you.  I KNOW how you feel.   I have been in those shoes of yours and they sux!  I have also been there where my hubbie said God will make it ok....yes, I have faith and I believe, but when you are bleeding all you see or think about is that red blood.  I get you.   I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I know its impossible, but try to stay as calm as possible and off your feet as much as you can.  Stay hydrated.

I am so sorry! I had bleeding with both of my pregnancies that were viable in the end- I hated the not knowning and it seemed that no one could really be reassuring. I think men have a hard time because they don't understand what it feels like to be the one responsible to nourish and grow a child, and to not know if it will work out and to worry so much in addition to all the hormones and emotions that make that worse. Men are really scared of pregnancy, and they tend to say "everything will be fine" because that seems to be th eonly thing to say. I find it helpful when my husband does that to tell him that I am not finding that very supportive, and help him understand what I do need from him. Of course, he doesn't always oblige, but at least then he has the opportunity to understand how I feel and how he affects me. Just a thought. I hope you get the support you need- and the doubling hcg at your next draw!

If you are early on in pregnancy....as you said 4-5 weeks? You should see your HCG double every 48-72 hours. I had my first HCG draw at 4weeks 2 days and my first draw was 99 and my progesterone was 6.8. They put me on progesterone right away. I have been taking it since. I went back 3 days later and had another draw. My HCG was over 500. So it went way up. I go in this fri for an ultrasound. My last pregnancy resulted in a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I had my HCG run several times in that pregnancy. It never ended up doubling like it should have. I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and there was a heart beat.  Only to have my miscarriage. I'm not telling you this to scare you but to just give you my experience. How long ago did you get your BFP?

I'm sorry. I hope that your number just keep going up. I don't really know what the numbers are supposed to be at your stage in pregnancy but I hope they say that everything is fine.

Amanda,

I hope that you are laying on the couch with your laptop as you are reading this.  Honestly, if there is any bleeding at all during a pregnancy, you will find most docs/nurses call it a threatened miscarriage and yes...sometimes they will call it a spontaneous abortion.   Your progesterone seems a tad low, but your HCG is coming up nicely.  I honestly think you are going to be okay.  Stay on the couch with your feet up and complete pelvis rest...tell b/f to go take a cold shower...LOL  

I know nothing I say is going to make you feel better, but I will keep you in my prayers.  Something just tells me in my heart that this baby is okay.  I so hope my intuition is right on on this time..I have a fairly good track record :)

Hugs to you and your little bean!

im sorry. i hope it works out

I hope that it all works out and while he is right it is in God's hands that doesn't make it easier for us to deal with. I know that my miscarriage (blighted ovum discovered at 11 weeks) was MUCH harder on me then it was hubby. I don't think that it was "real" for him yet, he couldn't feel the morning sickness or the other wide range of hormonal things, I didn't look different, he couldn't feel the baby and he hadn't seen anything on the ultrasound - it was just a hormonal version of his wife. So I definately think that these thing**** us harder then they do the men and they have a hard time dealing with our crying on a good day! lol

*hugs* sounds like your numbers are going up which is a good sign and having a yolk sac and good numbers at 4-5 weeks is a good sign! Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers

Men are stupid! Esp when it comes to pregnancy. Ask just about any woman here and they will agree. Anyway, The one doctor in my practice said she bled both times she was pregnant and she has two healthy kids. Bleeding happens more in pregnancies that we are led to believe. I had two doctors tell me that when I was in when I miscarried. Good luck. We are all here for you.

i had 2 threatned mc.. my first was with my son .. i was gushing blood i was about 8 wks no betas were drawn  with dd i was 5w2day and was bleeding u/s couldnt find anything my beta was 1876 and progesterone was 10.2 .. fast foward i have to great beautiful children ... prays for the best for you and your lil bean .... ~jenn
