Crystal1 is an unknown at this point
Default Can anyone help?

Hi, I am 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby.
I have had slight spotting for 3 days, 1st day only when I went to the bathroom and wiped. 2nd day only one spot, 3rd day slight spotting like first day. Then this morning more like a period this morning, now 2 hours later, nothing.
I have had 2 blood tests. 1st test 3 days ago hormone levels 131, then yesterday hormones levels still 131- doc says there should have been an increase. Which makes me worried. I have had only small amount of cramping today, but nothing that makes me uncomfortable.
I am now waiting for more blood tests tomorrow to see what has happened.
I have not had an U/S yet, but am feeling very strange, not sure if I am miscarrying or if it is just one of those things.
Has anyone experienced hormone levels staying the same for 2 days? I am not sure, hope someone can help.

Crystal I hope you have had some more news from your Dr as to what is going on. With my last pregnancy my levels went down every so slightly and then increased but where not increasing at the rate they should have being. Turned out I had an ectopic pregnancy.
Yes the Dr is right. The levels should be increasing and the fact they haven't increased unfortunately isn't a good sign. I for you that you have lost a twin which explains why the levels haven't increased and the bleeding and your third BT shows a good increase.
Welcome to BB by the way.

Default Thank you for your response

Thank you Emmy83 for your response. I did end up loosing the pregnancy and am now going through the worst part; trying to move on but in the back of my mind I know it will be tough. I am trying to stay positive and I am hoping that the next time we will be OK.
Hopefully the next time I go online I wiill have good news; not bad.
I thank this forum as it shed light on the subject for me and I know I am not the only one.
