Heartbeat but concerning HCG + progesterone levels
Looking for some positive thoughts or shared experiences. I had some lower back pain with light pink spotting last night and this morning (have not had any since). Because of my history with miscarriages, my doctor’s office recommended I go into the ER to get checked out. I had an ultrasound done and there was a baby measuring 5 weeks, 5 days and a heartbeat (based on my last menstrual cycle, I should be 7 weeks, but I know that can vary depending on ovulation, etc.). My HCG levels were 2,745, which is much lower than I expected. My last HCG draw with my doctor’s office (same lab as ER) was 10/12 and they were 363 so they were not doubling. My progesterone level was 11.2, down from 17.8 on 10/7 (I take progesterone suppositories). I am fearing the worst, but also trying to stay positive after seeing the heartbeat today.
