@eecuadrado: I'm so sorry you are going through this. I had a similar experience. My cycles tend to be irregular, they're like 30 to 40 day cycles sometimes. So when I didn't get my period after 40+ days I took a pregnancy test and got a positive. The next day I started spotting and it was like brownish, like when your period is ending (BTW, I spotted on and off for like two weeks). I called my doctor worried that I may be miscarrying again. She told me to go to the ER to get an ultrasound and blood work to check my levels. So the ultrasound showed nothing and my levels were low. At that point the ER doctor told me it could be an early miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. So we were devastated. I spend the rest of that week on bed rest and going to get my blood drawn to check if my levels were increasing, which they were. But they still couldn't tell me if it was a viable pregnancy. Also, I was very annoyed with my doctor and the ER doctor because they were calculating the length of my pregnancy based on a 28 day cycle. So they were like you should be having higher hormone levels. It wasn't until I got to see an actual OBGYN that I felt a little bit better. She told me that sometimes spotting happens early on in pregnancy for reasons unknown. She said that my hormones levels were low because it was too early of a pregnancy and that it is hard to calculate with women who have irregular cycles. She did an ultrasound that day and said it look like an early pregnancy and then schedule me to come back in 2 weeks to see how it has progressed. She said to be concern if it is bright red blood or large amounts. So flash forward to now, the pregnancy was viable I have a healthy 4 month old now.
So I'm just wondering if maybe there is a miscalculation on how far along you really are. And the reason your levels are so low, is because it's still too early to tell. I hoping that your pregnancy will be a viable one. Sorry for the long story. Just wanted you to know that sometimes spotting doesn't necessarily lead to a miscarriage. Wishing you the best.

@eecuadrado: I'm very sorry for your loss

I'm really sorry.

@eecuadrado: I'm so sorry

@eecuadrado: I am really sorry. I have experienced a CP and 10 week loss. It sucks so bad but you can and will get through it. It's hard to hope but, someday soon, you will get the courage again. Be kind to yourself and let yourself feel whatever you will.

@eecuadrado: I'm really sorry to hear this I totally understand if you wanted to wait. After my first miscarriage we waited 7 months and after our CP we waited 2 months. I wanted to feel emotionally ready for each try. Hope that future planning goes more smoothly and healthy for you.

@eecuadrado: I'm really sorry for your loss. If you need to talk at all, there are so many women here who have been through this...some more than once or twice even. We don't know exactly how you feel, but we can relate. Sending lots of love your way for speedy healing.

I'm so sorry for your loss

@eecuadrado:

@eecuadrado: I am so sorry. I had a 10 week loss in August and I didn't know I would ever be ready again. I was so, so angry that it happened. My heart was so closed off to having children or trying again. I ended up getting pregnant again in October and am now almost 20 weeks with a (so far) healthy pregnancy.
I guess what I am saying is allow yourself to go through the motions of not knowing when...you need to grieve and you have deserved that. Maybe, sometime in the future, you may wake up feeling hopeful or excited about it but don't rush it.
