How incredibly stressful. I’m so sorry. I hope whatever the resolution is, it’s soon.
For what it’s worth, when I was last pregnant, I had red bleeding after every single internal ultrasound during the pregnancy (and the baby was fine, although I spent a lot of weeks in the hospital before he was born).
Schrodinger’s pregnancies suck. I hope your waveform collapses soon.
Got crossed fingers here, too…
So glad it’s at least not ectopic. Watching this thread with crossed fingers!
((((EmAnJ)))) Positive thoughts and many prayers . . . . .

Man I am getting sick of this. my numbers are still going up. They are up to 1955 today, from 494 last Wednesday. The nurse called me at 8 this evening with the results and asked me to come in tomorrow morning at 9:30 to see the doctor again and do more tests. She was very concerned about ectopic, which makes me nervous. I am practically dripping blood now, but other then about an hour of pretty severe cramps this afternoon, I feel ok.
Gah. That’s so frustrating, I’m so sorry you haven’t gotten a real answer yet. I think we’re all on the edge of our seats waiting to see how this turns out…really, really hoping it isn’t ectopic. Good luck, and thanks for the update.
Hopefully this is the final update.
I went in for another blood draw this morning and it came back at 2100, so still increasing. I’ll be going in for the methotrexate shot after work. I am registered for a course tomorrow but am on hold right now to reschedule it. I’ll be taking tomorrow off.
I’m glad it’s finally coming to an end.
So sorry for your loss. I hope the miscarriage goes as well as possible, so you can start healing. Good luck.
I don’t mean to pry, but I’m confused - why are they terminating your pregnancy? If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t worry about hurting my feelings and just ignore the question.
It’s ok, I don’t mind the question, it’s a valid one (and one that my mom, mother in law and sister all asked me just an hour ago).
It’s absolutely not viable. The beta numbers in a normal pregnancy increase at minimum 66% every 48 hours. Mine did that a couple of times, but mostly not. Add to that that they should be able to see something in the uterus at 6.5 or 7 weeks and they didn’t, and that’s another big clue. Add to that the fact that in the past 24 hours my beta only went up about 150 points (1955 to 2100) when a viable pregnancy should have gone up around 1000 points, and that’s pretty much confirmation of a non-viable pregnancy.
Also, my numbers are now way outside of the low end of the range for where I should be at 6.5 or 7 weeks. If this were a normal pregnancy, my beta would be 20,000+ at this point.
Because they can’t see anything in my uterus, there is a huge concern that it’s elsewhere, and the real danger is that it’s in my tubes and they just couldn’t see it yesterday. I’m right at the point where if it is in my tube, it’ll burst if we let it continue to grow. It could also be hiding in my cervix, or even outside of my uterus. Doing the shot as soon as possible is important, just in case.
I am 100% sure this isn’t viable. I would never do this if I wasn’t sure.
**Really **sorry to hear all your updates.
If it helps with the decision, the friend I mentioned that had an ectopic recently had a similar situation. Rising numbers, but not rising enough, and they couldn’t find anything on scan. It was *eventually *found in a tube, but not before emergency surgery was the only option. I really hope you don’t get to that point, as surgery carries the risk of losing a tube, and you don’t need anything else going against you.

Thanks, this is exactly what everyone, including me, is worried about. Better safe then sorry. I’d hate to lose a tube over this, or even worse, my life (ruptured ectopic is the number one cause of maternal death in the first trimester).
I’m really sorry to hear this, EmAnJ 
I’m glad you’re getting it handled, though … this is not something to screw around with. hugs
I am sorry to hear this. Sending supporting thoughts your way.
I am so sorry. It’s a terrible rollercoaster ride and hope you have a speedy recovery.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. But I’m relieved for you that it’s early enough you can have the shot. At least you’ll be able to recover at home. Can you take an additional day off, too? You might want even more time to recover. I’ve heard that the shot can be painful. It might take you a little longer than you expect to recuperate.
I had to have emergency surgery in January - it was already beginning to rupture, so they wouldn’t even let me leave the hospital to get my things. I’m so glad you don’t have to go through that.
I’m so very sorry that this is the outcome. Like overlyverbose, I’m glad that it’s early enough that the shot is an option. I hope it works and that you won’t need surgery. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time.
Same thing happened to the mozspouse. Turned out to be a molar pregnancy
2 more miscarriages followed, but now we have the delightful mozling (at least when she sleeps!)
Hang in there.
