PREGNANCY: Miscarriage with hCG level confusionFrom: ang7633 (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 27 Oct 2007 21:25:24 -0500 (CDT)
Hoping for someone to clear up a little confusion I'm having- I was 7 weeks pregnant when i went to the ER yesterday with severe lower back pain and naseau. They ran a beta and came back into my room with sad news that I had suffered a miscarriage and that my hCG levels were only 3 mIU. My OB/Gyn had ran a beta to confirm pregancy a week prior to my trip to the ER and that beta was obviously high enough to confirm the pregnancy. Unfortunately, I do not know what the levels were at that time. Here's my issue: Beginning the day before yesterday (the day before my trip to the ER)the naseau, food aversion, vomiting began. I attributed this to 'morning sickness' at the time. So now here I am the day after I returned from the ER and continue to have food aversion & naseau. So for grins, my husband mentioned that maybe I should take the pregancy test that I had. I took the test and it was obviously positive. So here's my question- does it make sense that the ER doc says that my levels were only 3 mIU but I just got a positive urine test with a sensitivity of 25 mIU and higher? Am I missing something? I appreciate any input you can provide. My OB is out of town for another week so I'm not sure how quickly I'd get any info from him.
