Thought I miscarried...but now hcg going up?
I started light spotting just before my 6 week appointment with my OB to confirm pregnancy, so on Monday 10/24 when I met with her she ordered a beta hcg just to see what my levels were. They came back at 671, and two days late on Wed 10/26 they were only 770, so she told me to go again in a few days but prepare for the worst. I started bleeding like a period on Thurs, 10/27 and when I called the OBs office they said it was a miscarriage and told me to come in the following week for another blood draw so we can track hcg down to 0.
I bled similar to a period for 5 days, have zero pregnancy symptoms (except fatigue, but I just figured I was tired from chasing my two toddlers around) and got my hcg results back today from the follow-up blood draw yesterday....3,725?! I'm so confused as I thought they'd be going down.
I was told to treat this as a viable pregnancy, to go back for blood work again tomorrow, and schedule an ultrasound sound and OB visit.
I know my hcg results tomorrow and an ultrasound (which isn't for 2 weeks!) will give more insight into what could be going on.... Just curious if anyone else has had this happen? I'm assuming this will end in a loss, but just feel completely in limbo right now.
