I have a large family and I am pregnant for the tenth time (last two pregnancies were m/c)

My levels seem to not be doing what they should be and I am really concerned after all I have read online. The Doctor told me it is probably an ectopic or a m/c and due to
the fact the scan showed everything where it should be I am really
worrying. I do not have my HCG done again until Friday and a scan again
next week.

I haven't had any bleeding but also no pregnancy symptoms which is
the same as when I had my m/c's. With my children I had morning
sickness from the word go.

HCG levels are as follows, please help me shed some light on this

28th July

HCG 4638

30th July

HCG 5000+ (Doctor didn't give me exact amount)

Ultrasound also done sighting a 3mm baby with a heartbeat of 118BPM

2nd August

HCG 7900+ (Doctor didn't give me exact amount)

3rd August

Ultrasound done again sighting a 8mm baby with heartbeat of 132-136BPM

I have been seen by three different doctors now and NONE are taking my concerns seriously. I have asked for progesterone but they do not want to listen as they feel that I am going to have a m/c.

thanx for the update...

Seems like things are moving along as should be. The hematoma near the placenta most often resolves itself, I have seen many do so. Your numbers seem ok, climbing regularly. Scans show baby growing and heartbeats which are within normal range.

I understand this must be extremely difficult, but i urge you to be sure and take time to breathe, eat well, rest and sleep as much as you can, as these activities will only increase the chances of carrying this pregnancy to term.
