Bit long sorry - Looking for advice really. Have had brown spotting with occasional red bleeding for past 4 weeks (very light) - started just shortly after +ve result.
Had a scan at EPAU on Monday where I should have been 8+5 but abdominal and internal scan both showed sac measuring 6+3 but no embryo. I'm very sure of my dates so couldn't really be earlier along than I thought.
Midwives explained that pregnancy wouldn't progress and that I would miscarry sac etc at some point soon. They took HCG level and was 27000. I had to go back on Wednesday for 2nd HCG and it had risen to 31000. They stated that they can't discharge me until it drops below a certain level. I've googled and know that this rise is probably due to the fact that my body still thinks that there is an embryo when in fact there's not. The spotting is showing no signs of progressing to proper bleeding. In fact it appears to be getting lighter!
Anyway, I've to go for a 3rd HCG tomorrow and hope that levels will be dropping and miscarriage will happen soon. I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this and if so how long can this situation go on for? I feel stir crazy already and just want it over with. Can I ask for D&C if no sign of anything happening naturally, or will they offer me that as a matter of course if the miscarriage is not progressing?
Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated.
