What are the chances of me misscarring again?

Question

I have had two miscarrages at 5 weeks pregnant, both times before I only got verry faint positive pregnancy test results so my hcg must have been low, and the test wouldn't even register positive at all untill I was 3 days late for my period. I am now pregnant again and I will be six weeks tomorrow so I have madi it further than I did the last two times but I am scared of misscarring again. This time however I got a positive result on a pregnancytest 2 days before my missed period, and the dr has been tracking my hcg levels and they seem to be rinsing really well the first hcg that he took was when I was only one day late for my period and it was 91 then two days later it went up to 215 then 5 days later it was up to1,953, and then 3 days after that it had increased to 6,374. I am going to go in at 6 weeks and 4 days to have an ultra sound, and I really hope that we can see the heart beat. Oh also the two time that I misscarried the only pregnancy symptom that I had was being moddy now my breast are sore, and iam moddy and I have felt a little nausios but not bad. The only thing that is really worring me this time is that I am having cramping off and on just like I did before when I misscarried, It is not bad and it is only off and on and I have not bleed at all. What do you think?

Answer 1

Sounds like everything is going great. Congrats. Some cramping in pregnancy is normal. As long as your hcg levels are continuing to rise then you should be fine. I also had 2 miscarriages and my third pg. was fine. I know its scary and you spend everyday waiting for the worse to happen but try and relax and enjoy it. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, miscarriages can be a trend in some women, due to pregnancy environment (your uterus) or how your genetics match up with the father's.

Fortunately, because your pregnancy symptoms are already much more heightened than your previous pregnancies, it sounds like your in better shape. Cramping is normal during the first couple months of pregnancy as you uterus is expanding to make way for baby.

6 1/2 weeks is a great time to start searching for a heartbeat, or what's known as the fetal pole. Your Doctor will have to measure the size of the fetus or its sac against the fetal pole or a heartbeat if he can hear one.

Keep your fingers crossed and your sights on your next big pregnancy goal: 12 weeks! At 12 weeks the risk of a miscarriage goes WAY down. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

If, God Forbid, you do miscarry this one, you're going to want to find out what's going on down there. Get some tests done, see some specialists. Miscarriage #3 is a big indicator that something is wrong and usually leads any doctor to figure out the problem.
