On Oct 9th, I went to the ER for spotting. I was supposed to be 6 weeks, 2 days based off my last period. However, I’ve been pretty irregular, so knowing when I actually ovulated and conceived was impossible. So, at the ER, I was told that my ultrasound was measuring at 5 weeks 2 days, and that a gestational sac and yolk sac were seen, but no fetal pole, and my HCG level was at 829. He told me that was normal for this stage in pregnancy and that he didn’t see a reason for my bleeding so he wasn’t concerned and told me to follow up with my OB in a week and see where my levels were etc.

I had already had my first prenatal appointment scheduled for Oct 16th, which was a week later so I just kept it and told them what I had been experiencing the week before. My husband had sex Oct 6th, two days before I started bleeding, and then again on the 13th, after I had stopped bleeding, and again last week, on the 19th, each time unprotected. When I followed up at my appointment last week, on the 16th, my HCG levels were 171 and my ultrasound showed something very small in my uterus, but she wasn’t sure if it was still leftover tissue from the miscarriage or the same pregnancy and that she wanted me to check back in another week to see what was going on and go from there. I went back to the OB yesterday, and they were able to see somewhat of a gestational sac but she said she still wasn’t sure. She said last weeks compared to this week did look noticeably different and that they were able to see something more clearly in my uterus but that she didn’t want to classify it as a gestational sac. They did my HCG level and it came back at 25 so she said she wants me to come back in tomorrow to recheck it and see if it rose or is going down and go from there because she’s not sure if it’s a new pregnancy or leftover hormones from the previous pregnancy.

Is it possible that I could be pregnant again already and that this HCG level is in correlation to someone who’d be 3-4 weeks pregnant? I am all so confused by all of this and am just tired of going back to the OB to receive bad news and still be in the waiting process.
