I am going through my second miscarriage. This one has been quite a bit harder than my first. I made it farther along and I actually have an ultrasound pic of this one.. I went into the hospital cuz I was bleeding and cramping. They did an ultrasound and saw the baby and the heartbeat and everything. They did an HCG test and my levels were extremely low. The ER doc said that I'm most likely having a miscarriage and that there was as 1% chance of the baby making it. That was four days ago and I am not bleeding anymore just cramping. I still feel like there's something in there. I still feel like I'm pregnant. Is there any chance I could still be? Could my baby survive this truama? I am holding on to that 1% chance and am not letting go. Is that something I should be doing? I'm so confused and numb right now. I have no idea what I should be doing. Please Help!
I just went through my first miscarriage. And even though things did not end well, I am still a believer in not giving up hope. It was a several week long process w/the dr. anticipating a miscarriage. Giving me a 5% chance at one point. And though I grieved terribly even before the loss occurred, I still hold out hope for a miracle. There are stories of miracles out there so I wasn't going to fully believe it was over until it was over. I didn't get to the point of seeing the baby and the heartbeat. Only the gestational sac. And my hcg kept going up. It got up to 18,000. I am hoping that your ER dr. was wrong. I would be more trusting of your own ob/gyn's opinion at this point. B/c how would the ER dr. know what to compare your hcg level to if this is an ER visit? Know what I mean? There's a wide range of normal when it comes to hcg levels. I don't want to give you false hope, but I also don't want to tell you to give up. This is a special life you created and I am right there with you not wanting to let go. I can relate to the feelings of numbness as well. Please keep me posted as to how you are doing. I will say a prayer for you tonight.
