Posted on Sat, 18 Oct 2014
Question: Hi, my wife got an hCG 71 after an ICSI/IVF treatment, that was 12 after 5 days transfer, now it has been 3 days since that test and since two days before taht, she is bleeding almost continuous. Today this bleeding is heavier that her usual period with lumps of blood, with pains and vomiting,

Is her pregnancy at risk? we called our clinic and the nurse told us that nothing they can do until our second test which scheduled next week.
Pleas help, we are really worried and shw was crying many times today

Brief Answer:
Beta hCG

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. Your beta hCG blood test results is positive. Congratulations.

2. Unfortunately you seem to be undergoing miscarriage.

3. But there is nothing other than bed rest and progesterone medicines.

4. You can repeat the blood test today to see if beta hCG blood levels are incresed. Beta hCG levels increased doubling every 48 hours.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Brief Answer:
Supportive treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is good see that urine pregnancy test is positive.

Right now very she needs progesterone injections and tablets which i think she is already taking. This is the only supportive treatment she needs.

Let her take complete rest. That should help her to continue pregnancy.

Regards.
