Pregnancy hormone HCG low (im confused)? I went to my second dr. the appointment yesterday and I'm ten weeks pregnant, he told me that my pregnancy hormone hCG is low, so we drew more blood to recheck ... he didn't act like it was a problem but I looked on the internet and it is said that low levels of hCG cause a miscarriage ... Should I be concerned, even if the doctor was not? and what I can do to ensure that the dr. did the right thing for me not to abort
Hun until about 24 weeks Preggo it is really not a way to prevent M / C. Around 14 weeks your chances of am / c creates a lot. Currently, he does everything he can. Try not to stress this is not good for you. Everything could be perfect. Trying to think positive. Just rest and taking it easy. Reduce the work and call home sick a few days if it helps!
vibes baby Good luck to you and stick Hun!
You'll have to leave in the hands of the doctor. You can always get a second opinion, but if you are going to miscarry, there is little or someone else can do about it.
If you are going to miscarry, it will happen, you can not stop it. Sometimes, women have less hormones than others, I wouldnt be too worried.
Why on earth is always your dr check your hCG at 10 weeks???
They usually stop at 5-6 weeks because when you pass a certain point they two more and level type.
As long as your # 's are still high and does not get in large quantities, you and your baby is fine.
If you're a miscarriage there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. In fact, most errors occur because the genes do not merge right if there are genetic complications. However there is a chance that they are only slightly lower than he thought they should be. I would wait and see what he has to say.
Best wishes to you
error may be due to a variety of causes or medical problems. If your doctor performed an ultrasound for you, then he can not tell whether your fetus and the placenta is normal or not. I would not worry about the low levels of hCG for the moment. nobody wants you to miscarry. Just wait for the results of your blood test.
Yes, low levels of HCG can cause abortions. However, low levels of HCG may also be a symptom of inevitable abortion. In other words, low HCG could be caused by pregnancy, which will have an abortion by any other cause. However, it is common practice to supplement the HCG injections (eg 2000/5000 IU IM twice a week).
Remember that hCG may have a wide normal range and several times it shows nothing more than developmental delay. This is especially true if you have a normal ultrasound recent years. luck.
I just read your other questions ...
Girl ... Are you ready for another baby????
a baby born of the confusion is hard enough for the baby.
Stay calm. First ... if you are going to miscarry, there is absolutley NOTHING that the doctor can do to stop it. hCG levels can vary considerably, but the important thing is that they double in number every 48 hours. As long as they double, it means that your pregnancy is progressing. Your doctor does not act in question for two reasons ... a ... he has to see if the numbers increased before doing any type of decision. And two ... if not come back ... get excited. You should try to stay calm and take it easy.
I know it is easier said than done ... My summer there. I miscarried triplets last December to 16 weeks. I had to play the waiting game too. But there is nothing you can do differently to stop it. Errors are very common and it is so plain to expel an embryo unhealthy or defective. You were supposed to have the perfect baby ... it can not be. Most women go on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy after a miscarriage. (I am now 37 weeks.
