Okay, to start I was having pain in the area of my left ovary or fallopian tube on Sunday into Monday. Doctor couldn't find the problem when looking at my ovaries with u/s. Also tested my prog. level and it was 19.1. The pain stopped by about noon on Monday. Wednesday I took an HPT (EPT) and got a faint positive. I was bleeding very slightly which after the first trip to the bathroom has remained just a brown spot on the toilet paper. No pain accompanied this bleeding. Today I went back to the doctor and they said my HcG level is 16 (I am 11 DPO) and my progesterone is 14.3. The nurse asked me if I've ever had an ectopic pregnancy--which I haven't. She said that both numbers are very low but that I have to wait until Monday to be tested again. One more bit of info--I took another EPT this afternoon and couldn't see a line at all. Does this mean that my level was probably just higher yesterday and it's going down (miscarriage) today, not registering as a +HPT?

I am so scared that I am miscarrying. Can someone give me feedback about my numbers. I have had no pain at all since Monday. Spotting just started yesterday. It just kills me to have to wait until next Monday for another level check. Please help!!

Brandi,

I'm so sorry you're going thru this sweetie. That's really wicked of the doctor's office to make you wait until Monday to find out something. I know its useless to say try not to worry because I'm sure that's impossible. I have read that an usually high number of women suffer very early miscarriages where the pg. is not even detected and af only appears to be heavier than usual. That maybe one explanation for no obvious signs of m/c besides the spotting which could be anything including a healthy pregnancy. I wish I had something more to offer that would actually make you feel better. Please know that I'll be thinking of you and in the coming days and praying that you get good news on Monday. Please keep us posted.

Big hugs to you,

Laura

Laura and Anita--thank you both for the replies. I am really trying not to worry--but to no avail so far. I am praying that everything will turn out fine and can't wait until Monday. Very unusual, as I usually hate Monday and never want the weekend to end. Anyway, I will keep you both in my prayers and hope that you both get your heart's desires very soon. Best wishes!

Brandi
