I am so sorry, I was so hopeful for you.
EmAnJ, I’m sorry for the bad news.
It may be too soon to be hitting you with advice, so if so, come back and read this later. My suggestion would be to consider testing for a clotting factor abnormality. Not all doctors do, and not all even believe that it’s significant, but I know a few people that were discovered after a few miscarriages to have a clotting abnormality. After going on a blood thinner, they successfully carried to term.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Take good care of yourself.
Very sorry for the bad news. 
My sympathy to you-- here’s hoping that testing will definitely pinpoint a strategy that works.
They actually put me on baby aspirin just in case as soon as I tested positive, though I know some women are on heparin. Clotting disorders are on the list of tests for recurrent loss patients, which I am now because this is number three. Thanks for mentioning this.
Thanks again everyone. I went in for another blood test this afternoon and will know the results tomorrow morning. I expect the numbers to be decreasing now. The thing is, I have no cramping or bleeding, which scares me a bit, because I really don’t want a D&C. I am hoping it’s natural, like my last two, though I was spotting the entire time with the last ones and with this one there is nothing.
I’ll update when I know something. Thanks again, it is amazing the support this community can give when someone needs it, even virtually. 
EmAnJ, I have both MTHFR (compound heterozygous) and Factor V Leiden (heterozygous), and I have two children. If that’s what it is, it’s very treatable. Daily Lovenox is not fun, but it becomes routine pretty fast. If it ends up being a clotting disorder, feel free to PM me and I’ll try to help however I can.
Thanks! Honestly, I hope it’s SOMETHING, you know? Any answer is better then none.
So, wait…you haven’t actually miscarried? You just think you will? So that means there is still some hope, right?
Well, her thinking she will is based on pregnancy hormone levels that aren’t going up like they’re supposed to. But you’re right - it ain’t over till it’s over. Fingers still crossed for you, EmAnJ.
Well, I guess there is about a 1% chance of it succeeding, but when the numbers don’t double properly (in my case,it’s not even close), it’ll be a miscarriage one way or another. In addition, my numbers are no where close to where they should be for how far along I am, another indicator of miscarriage.
I’ll know more when I get my next set of numbers back this morning.
Here’s hoping that it’s clean and quick.
I’m always rooting for that crazy 1%, though.
So sorry, EmAnJ. Hopefully it will happen naturally, but if you do have to have a D&C know that they’re not that bad. (Although not fun, obviously.)
Be kind to yourself, okay?
I’m so sorry, EmAnJ - I’ve been in your position a number of times myself. Take heart, though - even a five time loser like me (4 miscarriages and losing one in a twin pregnancy) managed to have 3 healthy children. Don’t lose hope!
The advantage to a D&C is that it’s done completely, and you’re unlikely to have any retained products of conception to cause you any trouble later. I always went for the D&C if I could - I just wanted my body back. Just remember - you could be waiting a while to start miscarrying on your own - my third miscarriage took something like 3 or 4 weeks to begin, and that one ended in hemmorhage and a D&C after all that.
Take care of yourself and best of luck
Oh, EmAnJ, I’m so sorry our sticky thoughts weren’t enough. Hopefully the tests will point towards an obvious and fixable issue, so you can get on with the babymaking. We all want this for you.
I got my numbers back from Friday and they are rising appropriately again!? They are still way too low for where I think I am, but they went from 100 to 180 in 48 hours which is an appropriate raise in numbers.
I go in for another draw today. I call this beta hell, because it’s such an emotional roller coaster not knowing what the outcome will be. Being given a little bit of hope makes it so much worse.
Awesome!! Maybe the last one was just a lab error.
How are you feeling? Any nausea or fatigue or anything?
No, nothing. Sore boobs, but that can be attributed to the progesterone they have me on.
Woohooo! Sending out more good thoughts.
All of these numbers are qualified by “for how far along you are”… Is it possible that you’re not as far along as you thought? Presumably, you’re still using the traditional method for getting pregnant, too… Is it possible that the medical attempt failed, but that a later natural attempt succeeded?
