I just don't know what to do or think
Ok, I haven't said anything until now........
About two weeks ago, I lost a pregnancy. I was 5 weeks at the time with my last cycle on 6/2. Since I was so early, it was hard to see on internal and external ultrasounds what was going on. My HGC level dropped by 1/2 within two days and I passed what we think was a blood clot in description to my OB. I have never gone though this before......
Since I my levels were not at 0 yet, my doc wants me to continue to get my blood tested. So, I went this last Thursday to the same lab and got it tested. Doc office called me today and my level is.......
20,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! I have so not been acting like I am pregnant. I have had alcohol (granted, not a lot but some) and at least 2 cups of coffee a day.......
I have to go back in tomorrow and get my blood tested again. The nurse told me not to get my hopes up and this could be some testing abnormality but still. Why would it be 3000 at ER when cramping and bleeding (which is normal level for a 4-6 week pregnancy) and then drop to 1600 two days later and then jump to 20,000 one week later????!!!!! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Re: I just don't know what to do or think
Oh, I am sorry you're going through this. Has your doctor done an u/s?
Edit-- Ok, sorry I just saw in your OP where you did have an u/s. I guess maybe they could see more now with one. The level #s seem so confusing. Sorry again.
