Low HCG at 12 weeks
Long time lurker, first time posting.
I’ve spent the last three days frantically searching the internet for anything that may give me the answer I want, but at this point I’m just feeling defeated.
I’ve been experiencing spotting the last two weeks, on and off, with light brown discharge. Worried, I called my OB to see what I should do since my next ultrasound isn’t until July 8th. She had me come in on the 1st for an HCG quantitative test. I got the result the next day, it’s 4,762. Since it’s a holiday week, I haven’t to wait until the 6th to have a follow up HCG test. Thanks to insurance issues, I haven’t had any OB appointments until now, so I can’t guarantee the exact date of conception, but my last period was April 3rd.
After searching the internet obsessively for hours the last couple days, I’m worried that I’m experiencing a missed miscarriage. I haven’t had a fever, cramping, or giant clots…if anything it’s comparable to the pictures I have seen of a subchronic hematoma. However the HCG results make me think it’s a worst case scenario.
I know it’s a long shot, but I’m hoping anyone has had a similar experience, with a positive outcome. Deep down I feel like I know what the answer will be, but at this point I’m hoping for anything.
