HELP!!! Very scared

[babyjo]

Hi gals
I don't generally post much but I am a very worried about bub. I am around 6w5d pregnant and have had two previous miscarriages. Being at 38, I guess the chances are a lot higher.
We are so excited to become expectant parents yet again for a third time after 7 rounds of iui and so much want this time around to work for us and bubby.
I had two days of brown cm last week with a day in between each and no extra pain other then the normal cramps that come with early pregnancy. When the brown cm disappeared I was elated.
Well, I was disappointed to wake up this morning and find it there again with a tinge of pink this time. The alarm bells have rung. I don't feel very pregnant either but this could be normal too??
I went to the docs and had an hcg level test done as the obgyn is not available until Fri for a scan! The level came back at 932. How low is that? I am thinking it should be a lot higher then that at this point in the pregnancy.
Can anyone help put my fears at ease with any positve stories that might help me get through till the scan on Friday.
I am so scared that we are going to lose our third miracle.

Hi babyjo,
I am very sorry that you are going through this. I don't know if I can offer any advice to you. I am trying to remember my hcg levels (I think it was around 500 or so at 4 weeks) so your level could be fine.
Hang in there, try and relax it could be completly normal lots of people have various types of bleeding throughout their pregancy. I had 2 episodes of light bleeding this pregnancy and I am due in about 3 weeks, bubba is doing fine..
Take care and I will be thinking of you.

Thanks Cadence for your thoughts.
Hard not to worry. I guess what is meant to be is meant to be.
Will let you know if we progress any further.

Peach, thats really nice of you, thank you for your kind words and support.
I have a great husband and whatever way this goes, we will get through it.
I am keeping my fingers crossed, but somehow, not feeling too hopeful.

Hi babyjo - I'm sorry you're going through all this worry. I'm in a similar position, trying to stay hopeful but also trying to prepare for the worse.

To get an idea of HCG, you may want to get a second test before your scan - it's the doubling rate that mattters, rather than a single number. You can also look up Beta Base to see where you fit (though try not to google too much, it'll do your head in)

With the 2nd test, get them to measure progesterone. This can often be as much of an indicator of pregnancy viability as hcg. EG, my hcg is very good, but progesterone is very low, indicating things may not be going well. Personally, I avoid scans where I can and go by blood test results (can't bear scans after having a mc)
