Hi Nicole. I am not sure about the HCG levels and the fact that they are still increasing, but I know when I had both my miscarriages this year I had no symptoms at all. No bleeding, nothing. I didn't even know until I had an ultrasound that the baby had died. The 1st time I was 13 weeks, and the baby was about 7 weeks in size, so it had died at 7 weeks - meaning, there was 6 weeks there that nothing happened. This last time, I was monitored more and saw a heartbeat at 7 1/2 weeks and at 9 1/2 weeks there was no heartbeat. Our baby had died at 8 1/2 weeks (at least according to the size). So it is possible to have no symptoms. But maybe you will be lucky. I will pray that you will be. Good luck and best wishes.
