I just got a call from the obgyn and my numbers are not good at all. Last Wednesday my hcg was 51, this Wednesday it was 95-it should double every 48 hours so it should be at least 300 and my progesterone dropped from 15 to 12.1. I can't stop crying. Why does this keep happening to me? He initially said to come in again next Wednesday and I was in to much of shock to agrue with him. I've called the office back and asked him to call me because I don't think I should have to wait that long to find out if this is going to end badly. I also want to know what he is going to do about it since its officially my 3rd miscarriage in a row. I'm thinking I'm going to call a reproductive endrocroniligst (SP??) they specialize in this kind of thing. My obgyn is supposedly a fertility dr but I don't feel that he is doing enough for me. I just can't believe this is happening yet again.

A friend of mine has had similar experiences to yours as of late and she found out the a lack of folic acid was the culprit. I know this doesn't help at the very moment but has your doctor checked your folic acid levels?
I am so sorry. I too suffered more fertility issues that I care to remember. I wish I had something profound to say...
Hugs,

Thanks Tia, I have been on prescription pre-natals vitamins with lots of folic acid since last January! But I don't think they have actually checked my levels of that. I'll ask the dr about it.

I am so sorry to hear about this, I know you are so upset.
You are right, get your self to an RE asap. You can't keep going through this, if he said to come in next Wed?????? How professional and serious is this guy as an ob-gyn???? I don't like that attitude at all. If you were my daughter, I would ask you to call an RE and try to get in, today!
You know, I have never been through anything like this, so I don't understand the numbers you are talking about. It is amazing they can tell you what is happening.
love you and praying for you! I'll be waiting to hear....

Michele, sweetie, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. Definately insist that this doctor talk to you today . That's insensitive to make you wait a week to find out what's going on.
I don't know too much of the medical aspect of this, but is there a chance this can still turn out okay?
I'll be praying for you. You are such a good person, sweetie. Keep us updated and cry all you need to with us. You are not alone. We all care about you and are sending good thoughts your way.
I wish I could make this all better for you. I'll just keep praying.

Oh Michele, that's bad news.
If it makes you feel any better, my mom had 3 miscarriages before she had me! My brother is adopted and they gave up on thinking they could have one when along I came! 
My BF's sister had a miscarriage too and just had a very healthy and happy boy. Sometimes your body just isn't ready. Maybe next time will be the one. Try a fertility specialist and maybe you can have twins.
So sorry, big hugs for you.

I'm so sorry the numbers are not what you had hoped they'd be. I know how upset you must be. My heart goes out to you!
I know you don't want to wait until next week to see the doctor. That is too long! See if you can get into see someone sooner. Can your doctor refer you to a specialist? I'm not sure what size city you live in, but if you don't have a big medical center there, maybe you should go to a specialist in a larger city.
No one should have to go through what you are going through. I will pray that you get an answer soon as to why this is happening.
I wish I could give you a big hug! Please write to us and let us know how you are doing. We love you and are here for you---every step of the way.
Praying for you,
BL
