confused by blood hormone results, can anyone shed any light

I was sent for an emergency scan last friday due to pains an spotting, I was told my baby was a 4-5week developed gestational sack (I should be 7 weeks) I had a beta test which showed my hormones were 13000 i was asked to go back sunday when my hormones went up to 17000 I have been back today and they were 21000 which has shocked the staff. I am due to go back on friday for a follow up scan but was just wondering if anyone can help me understand what is happening. This morning before i got todays results back they were saying it wasnt looking good at all for the baby but this afternoon they were quite optimistic but I don't want to get false hopes again. any ideas anyone?

i had this test done at the start of my pregnancy due to spotting & a scan where they couldn't see anything & i was told that as long as the hormone levels are rising at a good rate then the pregnancy should continue, i am now nearly 23 weeks :-), try to stay positive i know it's hard hun but please try not to think the worst xx good luck & do let us know xx

I keep trying to reply to you ann, not sure if this is going to work or not as it keeps saying there has been an error. I had a m/c too, my baby would have been 3 this month but my daughter is 2 and a half now so having had one successful pregnancy I thought i wasnt going to have any problems this time... guess I was wrong. Im trying to look on the positive side but they are so confusing at the hospital sometimes don't really explain anything very well so don't want to be too hopeful and then get it all crushed again. I'm not sleeping or eating properly it's awful I just want to know for definate now so I can start to live with it. hows your ttc going? xx

whar aroller coaster time for u, i was exactly the same as u 3 weeks ago but my hormone bloods were 1200 48 hours later they only rose by 200 they told me to expect the worst,as it looked like our baby had died at 4 to 5 weeks even though i was 7 weeks, 48 hours later they dropped to 200, if they had continued to rise as yours has it would mean the pregnancy was ongoing but they must rule out eptopic on the side of caution,if all had been ok (i had m/c had been bleeding and had bad pains) they told me my dates may have been wrong or tha baby implanted late which is why the sac is so young, i think it sounds very hopeful, due to your bloods rising, i hope this helps hun plese let me know best wishes ann x x

its a good sign when your level rises it means that the pregnancy is a continuing 1.i had to have it done due to spotting and pain in 1 side and i am now 26 nearly 27 weeks pregnant its if they drop id get worried cause that means that the pregnancy is not a continuing 1 so id say it looks good i had to go back for a scan then and there on the screen was the little bean and a wee heartbeat and ive since found out its another boy.so yer looks good.xx
