I had a mc last year and waited to miscarry naturally. My numbers rose very slowly and I was told right away, around 4w3d that I would have a mc. I lost it at 7w6d which made for a very long three weeks. My numbers never went above 100 though. I had two nights of very bad cramping before the day I lost it. I was also able to get pregnant 3 months later. I hope you get another BFP soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252394 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:43:52 +0000 Crystal 1252394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much ladies. </p> <p>DH is being so sweet and supportive, but as I'm the one experiencing cramps and just stuck waiting, I still feel terribly alone. </p> <p>Hearing from all of you makes me feel so much less alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252332 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:26:29 +0000 spaniellove 1252332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. In one of my previous losses, my HCG was 2600 when I found out and I started bleeding a week later. The drop isn't exactly linear - you don't have to be at 0 to bleed, but it can take a while as your HCG gets lower. I hope you're able to find the support you need here and that your ILs leave you alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252323 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:09:53 +0000 Torchwood 1252323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. My second loss was early, but I don't know what my levels were when the bleeding started. I never had a test higher than 111, though that was going up at that point. Started spotting maybe 3 days after that? Lots of hugs. I hope your family doesn't ask too much. If someone gets pushy, could you have your husband pull them aside and just say there have been some issues so please drop it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252259 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:55:05 +0000 Lindsay05 1252259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry.

I went through a miscarriage a year and a half ago, and it was one of the most difficult times for me. I found out I was pregnant on a Wednesday and started spotting which led to bleeding by Friday. In that short amount of time I grew so attached, even though the baby would have been my second and it came to us as a surprise. Take your time to mourn. We're here for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252166 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:16:12 +0000 pui 1252166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry for your loss. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252164 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:14:33 +0000 swedishfish 1252164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I'm so sorry for your loss.

With the holidays coming up, I am dreading the amount of times we'll get asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252148 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:49:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 1252148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what my levels were, but they never got very high to begin with (50 or so) </p> <p>Hang in there, lady. I'm glad that you've come out of lurkerdom, but I hate that it's for this. Know we are here for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252147 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:48:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1252147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry you are going through this. It's never easy.</p> <p>With my second loss, I had delayed bleeding. My hcg dropped to a 2, and while I was in pain, I didn't bleed until 5 days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252139 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:41:10 +0000 winniebee 1252139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! I had my miscarriage when my hcg dropped to like 15, I think. I only know because I had bloods drawn the morning I started bleeding. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252138 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:40:08 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1252138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry to hear you're going through this! My levels never got very high, so they dropped within days. </p> <p>You have every right to grieve. We're here for you if you need to vent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252133 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:34:49 +0000 MamaBehr 1252133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anything about HCG levels, so I can't help you there, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry. It doesn't matter when the loss happened, a loss is a loss. I'm so sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252132 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:33:42 +0000 mrbee 1252132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I'm so sorry! :(</p> <p>There are a number of blog and boards posts that touch on this...here are a few:<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/?s=Hcg+miscarriage" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/?s=Hcg+miscarriage</a><br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/search/?q=Hcg+miscarriage" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/search/?q=Hcg+miscarriage</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-the-intro-post-i-wanted-to-write#post-1252126 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:28:40 +0000 Crystal 1252126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a longtime lurker who has been reading the website since it started, but hasn't posted til now. </p> <p>I found out I was pregnant on Nov 22nd. I spot a little on Nov 27th and went into urgent care just to check. On friday, I found out my hCG levels had dropped from a 991 to a 166, and that I would be facing a miscarriage. </p> <p>I have been waiting for days and it hasn't yet started. The wait is killing me- I assumed that since the levels dropped so significantly in 36 hours it would soon be at zero, and I can start to move on. </p> <p>How long between hCG levels dropping did you start to bleed? How long would you wait to call the doctor? </p> <p>I know it was such an early pregnancy, but I am still mourning the loss of what could have been. </p>
