That's great you have a plan, and it sounds like it's helping being distracted at work.  Hoping the physical side of it goes straight forward for you.

Yeah I've fully miscarried, bled lots over the weekend, lots of clots and cramping.. had HCG blood test and it's gone down to 5 already. I guess that's one good thing with being only 5 weeks, but it's still really hard emotionally.  I think it's even harder cos I *was* so early and have been battling with the feeling that I have no right to grieve... although I have been grieving big time.  Also brought back memories of the other bubs I lost.... ironically the due date from that pregnancy was 2 March 2010, so pretty sucky timing.  

I go through feeling ok/numb/exhausted.  I'm really blessed that my friends have been really supportive, had 3 meals cooked for us which has been amazing.. especially with keeping things ticking over for my 2 kids and working etc. 

I conceived the cycle after my mc last time, though at the mo def do not feel like BDing!

Hi there, Yes is such a sucky place to be. I have chosen to keep working, which has been really good. Last time was such a shock and I had no idea what to expect, waiting to miscarry that I stopped working as soon as I found out baby had died, until a week after I actually miscarried. Yes a plan sounds good. I went to the doctor and have made a plan with her. So far the plan is that if I start bleeding during the day, then to head to the doctors surgery (she said just to come) and if it is after hours she said to head straight to the after hours surgery. I think because there were complications last time they will send me to hospital anyway.

I am feeling okay but it is other little things that set me off. I am surprised how switched off I can be at work but I guess it's going to come round eventually.]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:37:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5828548&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5828548 <![CDATA[Slow Rising HCG levels : I&#039;m so sorry TanI&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5828539&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5828539 Author: arohanui

I'm so sorry Tan Cry I'm going through it at the moment and it sucks!! I found out for certain on Monday that I miscarried (had started bleeding on the Friday) and just waiting those 3 days was hard enough.  If you're scared being by yourself and miscarrying, can you set up a plan of what to do if you start bleeding? Like call DH and he'll come home from work to be with you, or even head to the hospital?

Grieving for the loss of your baby is a tough place to be in, I feel for you. Heart

Hi Tan73, so sorry to hear its an empty sac. I too was devastated when that happened to us..even thou it wld have been our 7th child. Was already picking names and everything not ever thinking anything was wrong.
Be strong and keep trying, you will have your baby. I was pregnant again 2 motnhs later after a dnc was performed and we had another little girl, now 13mths and we just had our 8th child, another girl, last Sunday night.

And here I am with my second pregnancy...slow rising hcg levels and had a scan at 6w6d that showed an empty sac. I am gutted, so, so gutted. How could this happen to me again? I know I'm not the only one to have multiple miscarriages but this really sucks. I so want it just to be easy and straight forward. This morning I cried in the shower because my boobs are just so sore and I really feel pregnant but I am not so I am going through all these symptoms for nothing. Life can be so cruel! I am going for a scan in another 10 days to confirm. I am a bit scared about miscarrying naturally before then. From what I've heard it sounds awful and so lonely! Last time I ended up having a medical management. It was awful and messy, but I was in the hospital and had people there to care for me and help me. I don't want to do this alone.]]> Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:11:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5828303&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5828303 <![CDATA[Slow Rising HCG levels : Oh Vineyardhoney Im really sorry...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815635&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815635 Author: CarrieMum

I'm so so sorry Vineyardhoney. It is very painful and especially more so when you have to wait and wonder and hope. Be sure to take some time out for yourself to grieve and heal. I'll be thinking of you over this time.]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:04:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815630&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815630 <![CDATA[Slow Rising HCG levels : well bloods weren&#039;t great...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815622&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815622 Author: vineyardhoney

well bloods weren't great today, dont have figure but in line with other slow rising levels ive had. scan didnt show much, but they found one spot that they think might be the pregnancy, and its near the left ovary, so suspected ectopic.

As i have no pain and no symptoms, i have another lot of bloods on sat and another on mon, as well as another scan with a better ultrasound machine on monday to determine location. likely will be given methotrexate on Monday.

I am so gutted, heartbroken really. might take a while to get my head around it all.]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815622&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815622 <![CDATA[Slow Rising HCG levels : aw thanks Carriemum, that is so...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815519&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815519 Author: vineyardhoney

thanks for the support everyone.

Levels are increasing, but again not great. Today's level was 197.

So far;
20th- 57
24th - 114
27th - 131
2nd - 197

I've been referred to a special "early pregnancy assessment unit" at a big hospital here in WA - special unit just for dealing with early prgnancys at risk of ectopic. I'll have more bloods on the 4th, possibly another scan too. At least I will have the best medical care out. I still have my fingers crossed that everything will be okay, but we will see...]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2012 23:04:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815372&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815372 <![CDATA[Slow Rising HCG levels : I had slow rising hcg levels for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5815358&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5815358 Author: 8isplenty

I had slow rising hcg levels for one of my pregnancy's, 2 scans later, nothing but the sac was showing, turned out to be a blighted ovum. Was devastating. After having a DnC done I was pregnant again 2 months later, and now have a happy almost 9mth old (no7) and now are due with no8 in Feb.

Hi MumtoMany and Monkeys. I've had 3 lots of bloods so far, next lot tomorrow morning. Have to say, doctors have been amazing here - i feel really well looked after (im in aussie at the mo - moving back to NZ @ 25weeks if this pregnancy continues).

Scan was early - they did it early because my cycles have been awol since coming off the pill, and weren't sure on my dates. It was more with the chance that they might be able to eliminate or deal with an ectopic before the long weekend.

So bloods done were;

20th- 57
24th - 114
27th - 131
2nd - ???

Its just a bit of an awful waiting game really. Trying to forget im pregnant (if that makes any sense?) so I don't become attached yet? emotional rollercoaster alright...

Hi everyone

I'm currently approx 4 weeks preg going by LMP, but my hormone levels and early scan indicate that I may be only 3 weeks.

I have been identified as having slow rising HCG levels. It means that I am at a higher risk for an early miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. There is also a chance that the pregnancy could be perfectly ok.

My question is, has anyone else had this with a pregnancy before?

Im scared and worried, this if very much a wanted baby and I hope everything will turn out ok, trying not to think about it all too much...]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:55:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42638&PID=5814891&title=slow-rising-hcg-levels#5814891
