Unfortunately my nightmare has come true. I am going to have to have my pregnancy terminated early next week (probably on my birthday) as I have a 'Missed Miscarriage'... the embryo has died inside me. - about a week or so ago.


I wish everyone every success and happiness in their pregnancies.

Beachy, hCG's are funny things! They plateau at a level anywhere between 30,000 and 300,000 (normally), and can drop slightly to as low as 20,000 after the plateau. It does seem early to be plateauing, but there's still some time to figure things out.

Just got results from this morning's HCGs... 45, 532, so has gone up about 3,000 since Saturday.

All my GP said (via the nurse) was that it was plateauing... so I still don't know if that is good or bad.

*sighs*

I am exhausted and i guess just have to wait until Friday's scan.

At least my partner arrives over from Australia tonight for a couple of weeks (he'll move over here to NZ permanently at the end of Sept this year)... I've been on my own until then... it has been so hard.]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:37:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=414142&title=hcg-levels-testing#414142 <![CDATA[HCG Levels testing : Best of luck Beachy my fingers...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=414085&title=hcg-levels-testing#414085 Author: susieq

I hope it all works out for you.
My doc got me to wait till 7 weeks for a scan to be sure to see a heartbeat so if you are only measuring 6 weeks something then its quite possible that everything is fine even though there wasn't a heartbeat yet.

And at 6w3d ish, a heartbeat very likely wouldn't show. When I went for my 8 week scan, the nurse had mis-calculated my date (my scan was brought forward by a couple of days because I started to bleed, and she thought I wasn't due for my 8 week scan for another 1.5 weeks) and said that we likely wouldn't see a heartbeat anyway.

Here's crossing everything that you're just very crap at maths!!

And I'm with nzpiper - they do stop doubling once you get so far along.

According to the Diagnostic Medlab chart, for 7w4d ish you are in the 50th percentile, and for 6 weeks you're about the 75th. That's not bad!

Its VERY possible that you ovulated late.  With Tom's pregnacny I was put back 10 days and I was adamant that I knew when I had ovulated......but MW says I may have even ovulated twice....so strange things can happen.  And Tom was born a week late off the new dates and definately didnt seem over done!]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:25:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=413717&title=hcg-levels-testing#413717 <![CDATA[HCG Levels testing : Thanks to everyone for your kind...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=413705&title=hcg-levels-testing#413705 Author: Beachy

My thoughts are with you Beachy. You always imagine that pregnancy will be a really special time ... but in reality, it's often terrifying and heartbreaking and just plain awful (my kiddly is being a complete toad as well).

I really, really hope that things are ok - I had a scan at 8 weeks and they used their highest-powered scanner to get a good look at baby. So, hopefully, things will be ok and they're just moving a bit slower. Have your dates been confirmed? Perhaps you aren't as far along as you think and that is why?

Again, I hope everything is ok.]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:46:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=413621&title=hcg-levels-testing#413621 <![CDATA[HCG Levels testing : ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=413578&title=hcg-levels-testing#413578 Author: AliaDawn

Had the scan on Friday.... the sonographer couldn't yet see a heartbeat again, but the pregnancy and yolk sacs had grown a little. She measured a CRL of around 3mm. I have to go back for yet another next Friday.

However, my GP told me that with such slow-rising HCG levels, with being 40 years old and with no sign of a heartbeat yet, she doesn't hold much hope of the pregnancy continuing for much longer.

I am devastated. ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:06:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=413574&title=hcg-levels-testing#413574 <![CDATA[HCG Levels testing : Sounds perfect!

Oh and I checked an HCG calculator online. It calculated that my HCG levels are doubling every 4.5 days or 107.6 hours.

It's not super fast, so is that good/normal??]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:43:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=404662&title=hcg-levels-testing#404662 <![CDATA[HCG Levels testing : OK I had heard about this, but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17956&PID=404660&title=hcg-levels-testing#404660 Author: Beachy

OK I had heard about this, but really had no idea what it was.

Now I kind of do... I have just had the results from my 2nd HCG test. The nurse told me it was an ok result (I still have another one to do in 2 days time).

All she said was that on June 3rd, the reading was 13173
Then today (2 days later) the reading is 17947.

She said that even though it hasn't doubled, it is rising. So I am assuming that is a good sign.
