Slight drop in BHCG levels... Miscarriage?

**{sarah}** · August 11th, 2011, 10:17 AM

Ok so I'm having a bit of a panic now.

I've had some spotting last weekend (Friday - Monday) so have been in & out of the doctors having tests & things done. I have a small subchorionic bleed & have been put on bedrest for a week, this was found on an ultrasound on Monday which showed a healthy 8 week 3 day baby.

Now the cause for concern is that we've been checking BHCG levels, mostly for my peace of mind, but now I'm stressing.

Monday 12.15pm BHCG = 108,000
Tuesday 10.45am BHCG = 105,000

I've just been to see my doctor & he said that he's not too worried, that it's probably just a minor fluctuation and with the levels that high it's not really a bit drop.

I had another BT this morning at 9.30 and am waiting on the results at 3.30 this afternoon, but in the meantime I'm wondering if this drop is going to turn into bad news?

Try not to stress (yeah I know, easier said than done) but it is only a little drop, as the Dr said its probably just a little fluctuation and you do have good numbers.

Keeping everything crossed for more great numbers this afternoon

That doesn't necessarily mean a miscarriage. My levels still rose even after the loss.

I will have everything crossed for you.

Got FX it is all alright for you.

I hope all is ok Sarah. I don't think it necessarily means miscarriage. It's not a big difference.

With DD1 I had my HCG tested at 8 weeks. The levels between each test didn't change much and I freaked out because I thought they were supposed to be doubling but my GP said that wasn't the case, that's only very early on and around 8 weeks it levels out alot

I also had spotting with that pg and had had a m/c a couple of months before so it scared me too. But all was fine and I had no dramas the rest of the pregnancy.
