Oh, I'm so sorry for this stress.  I'll send good energy.  Nothing will take away the worry, just breathe and take it hour by hour til you get the information.  *HUGS*

I've had many miscarriages - and heavy bleeding is usually the give-away in even an early m/c.  Try not to worry about anything - there's not much you can do one way or the other.  

Just hang tight until they get your HCG levels checked.  If they suspect ectopic (which I've had too) they'll need to check those HCG's a few times over the next week or so to see if they're dropping as they should after a normal m/c or if they're staying the same or slowly climbing which could indicate an ectopic or molar pregnancy. 

If they check your levels and they aren't dropping after two or three checks - demand an external ultrasound.  Usually they only do the vag one for early m/c, but you can't see an ectopic that way.  That's how I got left to hang for two months until mine ruptured and landed me in emergency surgery.  HCG levels either climb like crazy if it's a normal pg, or they drop rapidly back to normal if you've had a m/c.  Staying the same or slowly climbing is supposed to be an easy indicator of a problem...apparently my doctor was a complete idiot.

Most likely, you already m/c'd but are still popping positive on the basic pg test because your hormones are out of whack, and they'll have that answer for you very soon.  

In case you haven't actually m/c'd just keep your feet up and start taking prenatal vitamins.  That's about all you can do at this point. 

Hang in there.  Stressing about it won't make it easier.  Try to stay relaxed.

Ok, I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same thing. I wound up in the emergency room a few times early on. Nobody could find anything wrong except the bleeding etc. I ended up bleeding the whole time. Kalee was born at 29 weeks, but she is a happy healthy 16 month old now. Good luck, and keep me posted. The main goal is try to relax. It's hard to do, but there is nothing you can do either way.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through.  I hope you get the answers you need soon.  You take care and try as best as you can to relax and take it easy.

I'm sorry you are going through this....the only solid advice I can give you is that time will tell and there is nothing at this point to change anything.  They will follow your hormone levels and do an ultrasound...how often is up to your physician. Feel free to message me if you like...I'm a labor and delivery nurse....praying foryou!  :)

One more thing - some doctors are super quick to do D&C's...but don't let them rush you into anything.  It's painful, and there's no reason to rush it.  I have several friends who thought they m/c'd - the dr. wanted to do a D&C, and they just didn't feel good about it...well...9 months later they delivered healthy babies.
