Hi I am sad but happy at the same time to have found this site. I have recently found out that i was pregnant. My last af was Aug. 28 I took a test Oct. 6 and it was pos. Three days later I began spotting and cramping so i thought the test must be wrong i am just getting my af so i took another and still pos. so on the 12 of Oct. I went to the emergency room because i was really concerned. When I left they told me that I was most likely having an incomplete abortion. I was to go to the ob two days later to check the hcg levels and do another u/s. The levels went up only by about half and the sac grew only a little. Another two days went by and i had to do the same thing the levels went up about half again and the sac grew a little bit more. This time I was told to wait a week and to come back and then check again so I did this time it was a new doctor who talked to me. My levels went from the 2000's to the 4000's in a week she said that was abnormal and then the u/s she said the sac appears to be smaller but when me and my husband saw it we were excited because to us it looked larger. So she went over the options with us and I am just now wondering what this means. I don't think she took into consideration that my af's are about 35-40 days apart so they are saying I am supposed to be about 8-9 weeks but I think that I am just now about 5. Please let me know what you think I chose to wait two weeks to see if my body will handle it but I am having no bleeding and not really any of the cramping that I had earlier.

Welcome. I am sorry that you have had to find us. I would say don't make any decisions until you feel they are the correct ones.
As far as family & friends they mean well but unless they really understand it is hard.
Take care

Hi there, I joined recently too. My LMP was also 8/28. My situation also very similar though did end sadly in b/o and D&C 4 days ago. I hope it is not the case for you, but if so this is a such a good place to be. Just reading others stories helps me feel no so alone, and the kind words are most comforting to me. I hope I can be there for you as well if needed. Take care, Lauren

I echo the above: I am sorry you had to find us but glad you did find us. I also agree that you should follow your heart as well as your mind. Waiting doesn't really hurt anything; it will simply justify your decision. Please do keep us posted. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Katherine

Well I talked to the doctor and she agreed that I should wait two weeks and then have another blood test and u/s done before I make my final decision. I havent been feeling good though having cramps and a little spotting again. Well if a m/c happens at least I know my body was doing what needed to be done. I just wish if it happens it will just happen already. Its in Gods hands now. Thank you all for your concerns and support. I feel so much better knowing you all understand.

Rachdawn, I'm am also sorry that you have reason to find us but I agree with the previous posts that you should go with your heart on this one. It wouldn't be all together impossible for them to miss something if you were indeed at 5 weeks. Waiting would probably be the best for your peace of mind since your unsure of your dates. Hang in there and good luck.
Take Care!
