Someone help me understand this..... I had a M/C in May at 10 weeks. Started trying again this past cycle. No AF by last Friday (16 dpo) so I tested. Two digital tests clearly said "Pregnant." Today I started spotting and called the doc. My first appointment wasn't until Tuesday. The office tells me to go to the ER. I did. My HCG quant level is 4. The doctor said "That's like not even being pregnant." So....am I crazy???? I took another test just now and it did say "Not pregnant". Am I really crazy, or is it possible to M/C and levels drop that fast??? Any info is helpful.
I'm just so tired of this emotional roller coaster. Thanks for listening.

It's possible... it sounds like a chemical pregnancy which is when you find out you are pregnant very early but then AF shows up all the same or just a few days late. With a chemical pregnancy, I'd think your levels never get very high so it's definately possible for them to drop that fast - you're not crazy!
I don't know much about chemical pregnancy beyond that but if you google it you can find more.
So sorry for your frustration and loss

We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."

Thank you RunnerDuck for your reply. I did read up on chemical pregnacy and it sounds like this is what probably happened. Although I never really "felt" pregnant, the positive HPT made me get my hopes up again. I promised myself I wouldn't do that. I did though...just to have my dreams crushed once again.

I agree, sounds like a chemical pregnancy to me. I had 2 of them. in both cases, I had positive HPTs and also betas, but they dropped very fast and I started bleeding at 18 DPO (4 1/2 weeks along) with both chemical pregnancies. My heart was broken all the same.
How did this happen????
