Dropping HCG, impending MC
Unfortunately this week has been an emotional roller coaster. Monday I got a surprise positive pregnancy test! We had been discussing #2, but after a previous MC and trying all sorts of things for 4 years before I finally had my perfect son, we did not expect anything just a few months after I had my IUD removed!
Due to my previous difficulties getting pregnant and MC, my MD sent me for labs immediately. Monday my HCG was 277 and progesterone was 15.... On the lower side for an "estimated 5 weeks" But still in range. .. I am rather irregular and again, I was not tracking. Well, I was started on progesterone (with my son I needed supplementation so after discussing with MD we decided to start it to be safe) and back for more labs on Wednesday. Thursday I got the call from my MD... not good. My HCG dropped to 129 and progesterone was 9, even with supplementation- it was not a viable pregnancy and looks like I am miscarrying....
So, now I am here wondering how long I need to wait for the physical manifestation of my miscarriage and thinking about what a mind F*** this is. I still "feel pregnant" and I know that if I had not had previous issues leading to early blood work, I would still be going along thinking I am a happy, healthy expectant mother. Ugh. Ready for this to be over and just move on, but no sign in sight.
Anyone else with a similar experience? How long before you started bleeding?
