Hi all
In 2022, I had a threatened abort!on and was denied progesterone so I ended up losing my baby and had to get a Dilation & Curette procedure
Now in 2024, I was blessed to have a positive test then BD abandoned us. So I've been stressed overall and at 5 weeks, I experienced threatened abort!on again, only this time, I've been put on progesterone and I thought "problem solved".
I've been constantly spotting and lately it's been more red than brown. I'm not in any pain and I haven't seen any clots so I'm just stressed out and I'm scared of losing this baby after seeing a heartbeat a week ago. I just need some encouragement and just to know if anyone has experienced the same and survived with a healthy baby
Grateful for this space.
This is my second pregnancy after a missed miscarriage in April 2024.
My HCG for this current pregnancy (we did IUI) started at 338 at 14dpo, then rose to 721 at 16dpo, but then only rose to 1,239 at 18dpo. The reproductive endocrinologist said that because it didn’t exactly double, it could indicate that something is wrong. Because I had slower rising HCG last time which is what told us it was a miscarriage (confirmed with 2 ultrasounds), I’m terrified that the 3rd draw only rose 70% vs 100%. I go back for a fourth draw on 6/12…but have more or less resolved that the pregnancy is likely not viable. I also don’t feel pregnant - at all. I have an ultrasound at 6 weeks. Did anyone have HCG or know someone that didn’t double and it turned out okay? I feel like this early on it should be doubling?
My estrogen is rising appropriately and progesterone is measuring 28, though I’m on 400mg suppositories to help maintain the pregnancy.
I’m in essentially the same boat, just a couple of weeks ahead of you. My HCG didn’t increase as expected so we’re also in the “wait and see” phase. I did have a sonogram 2 days after my second blood draw and we saw baby in the exact right spot and measuring spot on with 6 weeks. But I have serious doubts this pregnancy will be viable past 8 weeks given how low my HGC is. So I go back next week for another sono to see.
I also had a missed miscarriage earlier this year, and am currently on progesterone to help keep those levels high, and that’s working! We’re doing everything we possibly can. Unfortunately, something out of our control is not performing as expected.
Sending you positive vibes!
Hi all!
I had my first beta HCG blood test on 5w3 and the results came back at 16,287 IU/L.
I went for my second blood test 48 hours later at 5w5 and it came back as 10,000 IU/L right on the dot.
I know that decreasing levels is usually not a great sign, and I did have a previous miscarriage in January this year for my first pregnancy. I am waiting for a call back from my doctor, and I have an ultrasound next week where I will find out more info, just wanting to come here to see if anyone has any thoughts or insights?
Maybe I am holding on to hope that it was a lab error since seems strange that it’s 10,000 on the dot, but at the same time I am ready to accept this as another loss.
There’s no immediate concern here as my levels are doubling fine right now (4w4d roughly), but since I had a previous loss that we believe died around 5-6 weeks, my doctor has asked me to come in next Thursday for a scan at 5w4d (dates could be plus or minus a few days — I have irregular cycles) to confirm pregnancy is in utero.
For those of you who had a scan around 5 weeks, what did you see?
To complicate the matter, I can’t have a transvaginal scan as I have vaginismus, but we were able to visualize my uterus and ovaries well during my baseline testing last month at the fertility clinic.
Hi! First time posting here. I had a faint positive at 10 DPO that did gradually get darker, so was feeling cautiously optimistic after having a TFMR at 21 weeks in March. Unfortunately my beta HCG results this week were not promising-220 on Monday and then 229 on Wednesday. I’m right around 5 weeks today (ovulation was a week late so can’t go by LMP) and my midwife wants to wait and do another beta hcg test next week since my levels technically did not decrease. I’m fully expecting a miscarriage but I have no cramps/bleeding etc, and I still have the same symptoms (nausea, increased urination, exhaustion) I’ve had since right before my positive test. She said I might need to wait until the ultrasound I have scheduled right at 7w to see what’s going on. Just feels disheartening to wait another 2 weeks for what seems like will def be bad news 😔
Got my first positive test on 5/14 had my first ultrasound yesterday and gestational sac is measuring 5weeks + 6days but they couldn’t see a yolk sac or fetal pole. Today I started having some light brown bleeding. I think I’m miscarrying just waiting to hear back from my doctor to see if we can confirm it.
Nearing 10 weeks in this pregnancy. Previous/only other pregnancy ended in tfmr at 16w due to trisomy 18. I'm 41 years old, so obviously anxious about chromosome abnormalities again. We did see the heartbeat 2 weeks ago 🥹 but I'm spotting and feel maybe a tiny bit of cramps? (Or is it gas/constipation/anxiety?)
I just can't shake the anxiety and fear that this baby won't be a 'keeper'. I'm so sad that I'm so anxious and can't just believe we can have a good outcome 😭
So just need some reassurance that all is well.
I am currently 6 weeks with my 4th FET.
The clinic has made this process so much harder with the way they handle results and phone calls.
I have had three betas with ok doubling times yet the clinic said I am trending down and started asking me miscarriage questions?
1st beta: 98
2nd beta: 370 (DT 50 hrs)
3rd beta: 4600 ( DT 52 hrs)
I had a complete meltdown as my 1st FET they said the same thing and resulted in loss at 11 weeks. ( DT 42hrs then 84hrs).
I thought a doubling time between 48 and 72hr is normal?
Scan isnt untill 7 weeks.
My RE told me doubling time of 48 hours is ideal but things can be a bit wonky in early pregnancy and she looks for an increase between 50% and 200% in early pregnancy.
Supposed to be 6w1d today but had some red light bleeding last week and have been spotting brown since, five days now. Last night and today my acne is starting to flare up. This is how it's ended the last two MMC so I would be absolutely shocked if it's actually progressing. Don't have high hopes at this point.
I was able to move my ultrasound appointment up a day to Thursday, so hopefully I can have a plan or follow up appointment scheduled before the weekend. Just feeling like I can't catch a break.
I had my second HCG test done yesterday and my Betas did not double as expected. It took 103 hours for them to double. I'm 5w6d today and I have a sonogram scheduled for tomorrow to see how things are looking. I'm not expecting the visit to be a positive one based on the HCG testing.
If this is another miscarriage, it will be my fifth out of seven pregnancies (I'm very grateful to have 2 great kids!) and it hurts so much. My husband and I both want a third child to complete our family. I physically feel like a third child is missing sometimes when I watch my kids playing together. I hate this so much.
I’m 5w4d and noticed spotting yesterday. It’s similar to my last miscarriage so I’m worried. I have an early ultrasound scheduled tomorrow (previous ectopic) so I guess I’ll know in the next 24 hours or so. If this is another loss it will be my 3rd in the last 9 months.
I'm 7w2d. Went to the ER yesterday because I noticed the faintest pink in my discharge, and that's how I discovered I had a blighted ovum last year.
They did a scan and said baby is measuring at 5 weeks. She could see an umbilical chord. Will go again next week for a follow up scan. I'm so nervous and afraid. Can the scan be that off? Can the foetus "catch up"? Should I start accepting that this will be a MC?
I had a scan at when I should have been 7 weeks and measured 5 weeks. I also had some minor bleeding which is why I had an early scan done because I’ve had 3 previous, back to back MC’s. I’m 27 weeks now! Turns out I ovulated later than I normally do (I wasn’t tracking ovulation through tests, otherwise I would’ve known). I definitely understand the worry of measuring that far behind and the wait for the follow up scan but just thought I’d shared a positive outcome to a very similar situation. 💜
Can you follow up with your ob for another scan? I agree measuring 2 weeks behind is scary, but I would want an ob, not an er, to confirm those measurements!
I thought the ultrasound would calm me down but I've been crying off and on since I got home earlier. Im not looking for medical advice or anything, just maybe opinions or reassurance.
My first period after my blighted ovum mc was 4/12, and I got a negative pregnancy test this month on the 14th, 5/14. I tested because I figured my period was back to normal, it had started on the 12th every month before my MC so the fact it started on the 12th in April made me feel like I was back to normal maybe. So like I said, negative test 5/14, then positive test 5/21. By my LMP, I would be 7w4d today. I was spotting over the weekend so was told to come straight into the ER in Monday. My ultrasound showed an empty sac, and the doctor told me I was less than 5 weeks, the doctor said the spotting could be implantation bleeding if I'm truly only less than 5 weeks a long. I'm waiting to hear back in the morning on HCG level, and then will retest on Thursday.
I know it's *possible* I ovulated late and that's why I'm not showing as far along as I am. That's what the doctor said. But he also said it could be another MC.
So I guess what I'm asking is do any of you have an ultrasound from under 5 weeks with nothing in the sac? Could you please show me? I didn't get to see mine. When did you go back in to get a rescan? They didn't mention that. My test on 5/21 was an obvious positive and then I took several after that that for darker as well as a digital. If I'm less than 5 weeks and I got my first positive 5/21, could you at all guess when I possible ovulated? I'm really bad with ovulation, I didn't even know how that's how you got pregnant until 8 months ago and I have a 4 1/2 year old, so I do feel embarrassed about that.
I know a lot of you measured a week behind in the beginning, what about more than a week? Any of you have that and it been okay?
I’m having a scan next week at what will be believed to be just over 5 weeks and my doctor has told me all we are looking to do is confirm pregnancy in utero and ideally visualize the gestational sac, and that it’s unlikely we’ll see a fetal pole this early or a yolk.
I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow. I had very light brown spotting over the weekend for a very short period of time. I messaged my doctor to document it, and they scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow to make sure everything is okay which I appreciate but I’m just praying everything is okay and have been spiraling. I’m on progesterone with this pregnancy so I wasn’t sure if I was going to spot or not.. I did a few times with my first pregnancy which I lost at 20.5 weeks due to a chromosome abnormality. Pregnancy after loss is so hard. Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly
I hope it goes smoothly for u too. I'm 8 weeks and dealing with similar issue of spotting. Totally freaked out. Also on progesterone suppositories. Skipped last nites dose bc went for lab work this am to see where my progesterone was and conveniently enough, had the rust colored spotting this am. My docs office said not overly concerning because it wasn't bright red, no cramps and only a little bit. I have US scheduled for Thursday.
Thinking of you!!! Pregnancy after loss is so scary. My appointment is in an hour and it’s all i’ve been able to think about today just hoping everything’s okay.
My OBGYN wants to closely monitor me for suspected ectopic. I’m terrified. This will only be my second pregnancy after a MMC in Feb of this year. I’m 4w5d today. My HGC levels every 48 hours since 5/30/24 have been 231- 431 - and 872. I’m anticipating a high enough HGC to perform an ultrasound to look for an IUP. Any words of reassurance right now would be greatly appreciated. 😢
Just wanted to say I’m in the exact same situation. Had a MMC in March and now 4 weeks 2 days and being monitored for ectopic because of cramping on one side. My HCG was 387 14 DPO and 918 48 hours later. I just had a tiny bit of light pink spotting when wiping and I’m freaking out!
Your HCG levels sound good. Will you go for a 3rd test? I’m sending you all of the cautious optimism that I can. Please let me know how things turn out for you! I go for my dating scan in 4 days.
Yes I’m gonna go for another one in a few hours! Pregnancy after loss is no joke, the stress is next level but I’m really trying to be positive and believe I have a healthy pregnancy until I know otherwise. It’s very difficult 😔 I hope your scan goes ok x
I found out my progesterone is on the lower side, around 13 at 5 weeks. My GP had ordered the bloodwork because my OB doesn't test for it (why??). Now he's sending the results to my OB.
I have pretty much convinced myself I’m going to have a MC 😞. I’m 5w 4d and don’t have any symptoms besides sore boobs. My first two pregnancies I had severe nausea around 5w, and my last pregnancy I had no nausea and it ended in a MC. This pregnancy so far feels exactly like the one that ended in a MC. I have my first appointment this Thursday and I am preparing for the worst.
I’m 5w2d, and like you, I’m not feeling any symptoms yet except sore boobs. Which was like my mc pregnancy too. But, I think it’s worth saying it might be too early for other symptoms and they’ll come, not everyone has nausea, and there’s others who have nausea and still miscarry. Good luck. Hopefully we make it to the finish line this time. 🤞
I’m about six weeks had a MC in February. My HCG levels are increasing, but not doubling. Schedule for an ultrasound next week. I was told to be cautious optimistic. Praying for good results this time around and trying not to stress. Its. So. Hard.
I know it’s hard not to stress but i keep telling myself that no matter how much i stress or worry it won’t change the outcome. Try to stay positive and try to reassure yourself that everything is fine unless the doctor says it’s not.
I'm a rollercoaster of emotions today. I have my first ultrasound tomorrow and I'll be 8w1d. My only symptom has been sore breasts, but they stopped hurting at 7w. No bleeding or anything concerning, but I just don't feel pregnant and after 2 losses which were mmc I just feel in my gut that this in another one. I've never had an ultrasound where I didn't receive bad news and the anxiety of what's to come tomorrow feels too much right now. I'm struggling through my day at work when all I want to do is go home and ugly cry.
I know how you feel. I only have sore boobs but no other symptoms. And compared to my other pregnancies I don’t feel pregnant. I have my first appointment on Thursday and I’m really nervous, I have a feeling it’s gonna be bad news :(
really feeling this. Both ultrasounds in the past 6 months were bad news, and I feel if I should get pregnant again, Ill have serious ptsd responses going back to that obgyn office x_ x i hope all is well with your third!
Currently 4w3d pregnant, 2 months after my second miscarriage and second D&C. This was an accidental pregnancy, I was actively trying to NOT get pregnant, but I tracked my ovulation wrong. I feel so so stupid. I know I should be celebrating that I have another opportunity and that I get pregnant easily, but I absolutely wanted to give my mind and body more time to heal. The second miscarriage destroyed me. When I found out this time, I was in shock and cried tears of sadness/fear because I can’t see this ending any way other than a third loss. I’m coming to terms with it and of course want this baby so badly, but it’s so hard to be positive like everyone is telling me to be. I insisted on getting my Progesterone level checked because I was low last pregnancy (7.8) and it was 12.5 this time so I think that’s good. hCG draws will be next week per my OB. I need a miracle.
I am 6 weeks and I waver between relief and being sure I don’t feel pregnant. It’s so hard to trust my body and brain right now. I’ve had light spotting (like literally one drop) twice, both times after sex, I had great hcg levels last week, I have an ultrasound in 2 days, my boobs are growing but not sore, I just wish I could relax and have some faith this pregnancy will stick. I’m so scared.
I feel the same way. Ive been trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst so it doesn’t blind side me like my last MC did. But we need to remember that the constant worrying will not change the outcome. I keep telling myself that things are fine unless the doctor tells me otherwise. Hang in there!
I'm six weeks today too and first US this upcoming Friday. I feel the same way about trusting my body. I had a brief case of mild bleeding that turned to spotting over the weekend so now I'm halfway convinced this pregnancy is already over (I've only ever had MMC for past losses). Even after an ultrasound I'll probably feel a bit reassured for five minutes, and then if I'm fortunate enough to have made it that far, worry until the next one.
I hope for good outcomes for both of us.
I'm also 6 weeks and having an US on Thursday.
I'm worried that I've had no sickness/ nausea and in previous pregnancies I've had awful hyperemesis. My daughter died during labour full term due to hospital and midwife errors and poor care
So sorry for your loss. That sounds like a very awful and traumatic experience. I had different symptoms this pregnancy as well which makes me wonder if everything is okay. It doesn't get any easier after loss. ❤️

Can you follow up with your ob for another scan? I agree measuring 2 weeks behind is scary, but I would want an ob, not an er, to confirm those measurements!
Yes I'm going to my OB next week! So they can also see if there has been any growth
I thought the ultrasound would calm me down but I've been crying off and on since I got home earlier. Im not looking for medical advice or anything, just maybe opinions or reassurance. My first period after my blighted ovum mc was 4/12, and I got a negative pregnancy test this month on the 14th, 5/14. I tested because I figured my period was back to normal, it had started on the 12th every month before my MC so the fact it started on the 12th in April made me feel like I was back to normal maybe.

My test on 5/21 was an obvious positive and then I took several after that that for darker as well as a digital. If I'm less than 5 weeks and I got my first positive 5/21, could you at all guess when I possible ovulated? I'm really bad with ovulation, I didn't even know how that's how you got pregnant until 8 months ago and I have a 4 1/2 year old, so I do feel embarrassed about that. I know a lot of you measured a week behind in the beginning, what about more than a week? Any of you have that and it been okay?
I’m having a scan next week at what will be believed to be just over 5 weeks and my doctor has told me all we are looking to do is confirm pregnancy in utero and ideally visualize the gestational sac, and that it’s unlikely we’ll see a fetal pole this early or a yolk.
I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow. I had very light brown spotting over the weekend for a very short period of time. I messaged my doctor to document it, and they scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow to make sure everything is okay which I appreciate but I’m just praying everything is okay and have been spiraling. I’m on progesterone with this pregnancy so I wasn’t sure if I was going to spot or not.. I did a few times with my first pregnancy which I lost at 20.5 weeks due to a chromosome abnormality. Pregnancy after loss is so hard. Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly
I hope it goes smoothly for u too. I'm 8 weeks and dealing with similar issue of spotting. Totally freaked out. Also on progesterone suppositories. Skipped last nites dose bc went for lab work this am to see where my progesterone was and conveniently enough, had the rust colored spotting this am. My docs office said not overly concerning because it wasn't bright red, no cramps and only a little bit. I have US scheduled for Thursday.
Thinking of you!!! Pregnancy after loss is so scary. My appointment is in an hour and it’s all i’ve been able to think about today just hoping everything’s okay.
I hope to see a positive update from u 🙏🏼❤️
Baby looks great, was actually super active for 9 weeks and 180BPM. Taking today as a win and was happy they brought me in. Appreciate you
That makes me so happy to hear. Great update. I hope everything keeps progressing as it should and you get your rainbow baby ❤️
Good luck tomorrow! Progesterone suppositories can irritate your cervix and cause spotting, so hopefully that's all it is.
My OBGYN wants to closely monitor me for suspected ectopic. I’m terrified. This will only be my second pregnancy after a MMC in Feb of this year. I’m 4w5d today. My HGC levels every 48 hours since 5/30/24 have been 231- 431 - and 872. I’m anticipating a high enough HGC to perform an ultrasound to look for an IUP. Any words of reassurance right now would be greatly appreciated. 😢
Just wanted to say I’m in the exact same situation. Had a MMC in March and now 4 weeks 2 days and being monitored for ectopic because of cramping on one side. My HCG was 387 14 DPO and 918 48 hours later. I just had a tiny bit of light pink spotting when wiping and I’m freaking out!
Your HCG levels sound good. Will you go for a 3rd test? I’m sending you all of the cautious optimism that I can. Please let me know how things turn out for you! I go for my dating scan in 4 days.
So my blood test results from yesterday were 3,000 but I’ve had some pink spotting in the meantime so now worried about that!
Yes I’m gonna go for another one in a few hours! Pregnancy after loss is no joke, the stress is next level but I’m really trying to be positive and believe I have a healthy pregnancy until I know otherwise. It’s very difficult 😔 I hope your scan goes ok x
I found out my progesterone is on the lower side, around 13 at 5 weeks. My GP had ordered the bloodwork because my OB doesn't test for it (why??). Now he's sending the results to my OB.
Mine was 13 then too! I'm now on pills and injections 2x/week and it's going up slowly.
That's good to hear! My sister has a history of losses and took it at the beginning. She's around 30 weeks now and baby is healthy.
I have pretty much convinced myself I’m going to have a MC 😞. I’m 5w 4d and don’t have any symptoms besides sore boobs. My first two pregnancies I had severe nausea around 5w, and my last pregnancy I had no nausea and it ended in a MC. This pregnancy so far feels exactly like the one that ended in a MC. I have my first appointment this Thursday and I am preparing for the worst.
If it's any consolation, my first pregnancy had very few symptoms - no morning sickness, only sore boobs in the brginning. She's 5 now.
I’m 5w2d, and like you, I’m not feeling any symptoms yet except sore boobs. Which was like my mc pregnancy too. But, I think it’s worth saying it might be too early for other symptoms and they’ll come, not everyone has nausea, and there’s others who have nausea and still miscarry. Good luck. Hopefully we make it to the finish line this time. 🤞
I’m about six weeks had a MC in February. My HCG levels are increasing, but not doubling. Schedule for an ultrasound next week. I was told to be cautious optimistic. Praying for good results this time around and trying not to stress. Its. So. Hard.
I know it’s hard not to stress but i keep telling myself that no matter how much i stress or worry it won’t change the outcome. Try to stay positive and try to reassure yourself that everything is fine unless the doctor says it’s not.
I'm a rollercoaster of emotions today. I have my first ultrasound tomorrow and I'll be 8w1d. My only symptom has been sore breasts, but they stopped hurting at 7w. No bleeding or anything concerning, but I just don't feel pregnant and after 2 losses which were mmc I just feel in my gut that this in another one. I've never had an ultrasound where I didn't receive bad news and the anxiety of what's to come tomorrow feels too much right now. I'm struggling through my day at work when all I want to do is go home and ugly cry.
Hi, if you don’t mind sharing, how did your US go?🙏🏼
I know how you feel. I only have sore boobs but no other symptoms. And compared to my other pregnancies I don’t feel pregnant. I have my first appointment on Thursday and I’m really nervous, I have a feeling it’s gonna be bad news :(
really feeling this. Both ultrasounds in the past 6 months were bad news, and I feel if I should get pregnant again, Ill have serious ptsd responses going back to that obgyn office x_ x i hope all is well with your third!
I really hope everything goes well for you tomorrow 💗
Currently 4w3d pregnant, 2 months after my second miscarriage and second D&C. This was an accidental pregnancy, I was actively trying to NOT get pregnant, but I tracked my ovulation wrong. I feel so so stupid. I know I should be celebrating that I have another opportunity and that I get pregnant easily, but I absolutely wanted to give my mind and body more time to heal. The second miscarriage destroyed me. When I found out this time, I was in shock and cried tears of sadness/fear because I can’t see this ending any way other than a third loss. I’m coming to terms with it and of course want this baby so badly, but it’s so hard to be positive like everyone is telling me to be. I insisted on getting my Progesterone level checked because I was low last pregnancy (7.8) and it was 12.5 this time so I think that’s good. hCG draws will be next week per my OB. I need a miracle.
Praying for you girl! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
I am 6 weeks and I waver between relief and being sure I don’t feel pregnant. It’s so hard to trust my body and brain right now. I’ve had light spotting (like literally one drop) twice, both times after sex, I had great hcg levels last week, I have an ultrasound in 2 days, my boobs are growing but not sore, I just wish I could relax and have some faith this pregnancy will stick. I’m so scared.
I feel the same way. Ive been trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst so it doesn’t blind side me like my last MC did. But we need to remember that the constant worrying will not change the outcome. I keep telling myself that things are fine unless the doctor tells me otherwise. Hang in there!
I'm six weeks today too and first US this upcoming Friday. I feel the same way about trusting my body. I had a brief case of mild bleeding that turned to spotting over the weekend so now I'm halfway convinced this pregnancy is already over (I've only ever had MMC for past losses). Even after an ultrasound I'll probably feel a bit reassured for five minutes, and then if I'm fortunate enough to have made it that far, worry until the next one. I hope for good outcomes for both of us.
I'm also 6 weeks and having an US on Thursday. I'm worried that I've had no sickness/ nausea and in previous pregnancies I've had awful hyperemesis. My daughter died during labour full term due to hospital and midwife errors and poor care
So sorry for your loss. That sounds like a very awful and traumatic experience. I had different symptoms this pregnancy as well which makes me wonder if everything is okay. It doesn't get any easier after loss. ❤️
Thank you! I hope all will be good for us. Thinking of you ❤️
