Missed Miscarriage or new pregnancy!?!?
So yesterday I had blood work done to double check my HCG again since I was still spotting at cd9 and my HCG came back as 111! They said it could either be a new pregnancy (which I doubt) or it could be left over from my chemical pregnancy that my body never got rid of. At last check, my HCG was down to 7 on May 19th from my initial beta of 11 May 17th from my failed FET so I have no idea what's going on. They are waiting on progesterone results from yesterday's blood work now and I have to have another blood draw tomorrow morning to check my numbers again. Don't know what to think.... All of my miscarriages in the past have all been natural miscarriages and happened rather quickly.

Thank you, Steph!! I really appreciate that. Ultimately, I decided to stop the progesterone and accept that this pregnancy must not be viable. My numbers have been low and slowly rising with progesterone at 6 only with suppositories so I think I was trying to hold on to a shred of hope, but really prolonging the inevitable. My empty sac measured 4w5d yesterday, but I technically should be around 7 weeks at this point after my FET with much higher numbers. Thank you for all the encouragement and kind words!
Ultrasound showed the sac was bigger, but still empty. Dr. still doesn't think it's a normal pregnancy and thinks it is just the placental tissue that's continuing to grow, but she will do another ultrasound next Tuesday and then decide. She wanted me to stop the progesterone suppositories, but said if I really still want to take them she will let me until the next ultrasound so I will continue them for now. Beta went up to 645 from 416 and progesterone is still 6.
Beta is up to 416 from 307, progesterone went up to 6.2 (because of my suppositories I'm on). Ultrasound still scheduled for Thursday morning. My bleeding has slowed down too.
I started bleeding this morning so I'm guessing I'm passing things on my own, but it's not heavy at all so I don't know. Still waiting on blood test results this afternoon.
Just talked to my doctor and my beta increased again to 307 from 170, progesterone is still only .5. She said if I want I could try taking the progesterone suppositories, but she said that may just prolong the inevitable. She just doesn't know for sure. She still thinks it may not be a viable pregnancy because the numbers are so low, but she will monitor it. She is still unsure how the number keeps increasing when there is no progesterone to support it. I am going to have another ultrasound on Thursday to check it again. So in the mean time, I'm going to take the progesterone suppositories anyway at this point "just in case".
Update again: On my ultrasound this morning, we saw what looks like a sac in my uterus, but my RE is still baffled as to why since my levels are so low. I'm waiting on blood test results this afternoon for my beta and progesterone again, but she thinks it probably is retained tissue.
Update: Beta went up to 170 from 111 and progesterone is .7 now from .4. I have an ultrasound on Sunday morning so Dr can see if I have any retained tissue in my uterus. ? Dr. said not to take progesterone suppositories still when I asked again.
Thanks! Waiting on beta/progesterone results from this morning's blood draw.....
Since u got ur period a week ago on the 23rd and started clomid presumably on 2nd day, i dont think u would have time to ovulate and for the fertilized embryo to implant all in 7-8 days.
Another beta and maybe a scan would help to check if the uterus is still thick and get more answers.
Just got a call that my progesterone was only .4! They don't think it's a normal pregnancy at this point and have to wait to see what tomorrow's blood work shows. ?
Hugs - you're in my thoughts. Hope you have a great weekend, relax and try to find something fun to do
