@gnosis1234 I can understand that I’m just saying they can rule out an ectopic which would be of importance with slow rising hcg.

@gnosis1234 Not op but By 6 weeks you should be able to see a pregnancy in your uterus. A sac is seen 4.5-5.5 weeks, yolk by 6 weeks and a heartbeat should be seen by 6w5d so yes if you had an ultrasound they should be able to see the pregnancy.

@thecookdebra Have they done an shg or hsg?? What tests did they already run.

@thecookdebra Are they not testing progesterone and confirming ovulation with ultrasound?

@thecookdebra Have you confirmed ovulation is even happening? What tests did they run? Did they do an shg or HSG?

@betteroffdead When looking it up I cannot see anything whatsoever that bans women from getting iud unless they have birth in Turkey. It’s the most common type of contraceptive and that includes Turkey. Perhaps the information isn’t on the internt? Haha. Also you can get injections for birth...

@betteroffdead Where do you live and why is it a requirement to give birth to have an iud but can take BCP? genuinely curious.

@betteroffdead Then I would consider an IUD?

@betteroffdead If you are so worried about pregnancy each month you do a beta please consider going on some form of birth control for extra safety.

@betteroffdead None of those levels indicate pregnancy. Are you on birth control?

@luin31 It’s hard not knowing! Every mc can be so different.

@luin31 I don’t think there’s any doubt you’re losing this pregnancy since your hcg is 3 points away from being negative for pregnancy. You may bleed soon but just know that not every early mc has clots and heavy bleeding and pain. It sounds like there was a sac but if hcg is almost negative...

@luin31 A very early mc like this may not cause heavy bleeding, clots, pain, etc. I’ve had early mcs that are like a typical period once hcg is negative. You won’t see a sac or an embryo this early on in most cases. You may not bleed until hcg is at actual negative (below 5) and some people need...

@tgrills I say this gently and understanding of how hard it is…but stop testing with that system!! It will tell you nothing about your hcg levels

@tgrills I’m not sure what intito is but it sounds like it measures LH not hcg? Am I right? If so - you really can’t use that to check your hcg. I know how scary it is after loss but I would get bloodwork rather than drive yourself crazy with home tests.

@domenka What are your dates based on? The rise is certainly concerning. While hcg does slow down, yours hardly rose at all so you do have a right to be worried. I would be guarding my heart with this.

@josephjurg Yeah if it’s a low amount it can happen. Is it likely and common? Not so much.

@ghillie All you can really do is get betas. It’s possible it’s still the miscarriage. You wouldn’t be testing positive from pregnancy on any of those dates yet if you weren’t negative from the mc on your tests until 3/29-4/01. Imo it sounds like it’s still hcg from the previous pregnancy but...

I’d also get another blood draw to be on the safe side.

@christopherb It’s really really hard to say what’s going on but a few considerations would be you got a really bad batch of tests which would be super unlucky and horrible or that by the time you went for the blood test your levels had a very steep drop. It sounds like a likely chemical but...
