Hcg after miscarriage and D&C

[djmommy]

Thanks Atomic. Well AF is here, although way lighter than normal hopefully will clear anything left. Got a line on a test today. I don't think DH will come around and to get him to DTD without protection I may have to get him really really drunk...and then he may fall asleep!! Haha
But really, it makes me so sad to think about not being able to have another

It's so light so hcg has to be very minimal but I'm hoping AF will clear out anything

I completely understand, it's sooo hard. Hugest (((Hugs))).

Is it possible to still have leftover hcg after I have had AF?
I'm on CD 26 and haven't had my normal O signs but haven't done opks or anything because DH didn't want to try but I got a faint line this morning and wondering if it can still be leftover

Yes, this can happen. In some worst case scenarios, it can be because there is some retained fetal tissue (this is what happened to me). Other times it can just be how your body processes hcg. Could you go in for an HCG beta bloodtest? That's the best way to track what your HCG is doing.

I would also caution: O signs can be unreliable. If you DTD at all unprotected, this could be a new pregnancy!

Yep to everythign Panther just said.

I would consider getting this checked out. Very rarely you can get false pos pregnancy tests for other reasons and so it's worth checking at this point in time, IMO.

You think I need bloodwork or ultrasound?
Ugh so disappointing

[atomic sagebrush]

Rarely, let me stress VERY RARELY you can get a positive pregnancy test from early stage ovarian cancer and since ovarian cancer is hard to detect otherwise, and is treatable if caught early, and this is continuing on seemingly for no real reason I do think we need to call in the A Team here (doctors) to be sure that you do not have any retained tissue or potentially any other reason for concern. The odds are like a jillion to one here but I just dont' think we should put off getting it checked out.

Yikes! Ok I'll put a call in to my OB in the am.
Thanks
I was hoping for pregnancy! Lol
