This is one for the books! My suspicion is that the blood test result was wrong but the body is an amazing thing!!

I honestly cannot tell you, my gut instinct is the 3rd or even 4th.

[atomic sagebrush]

I see it!!

Ahhhhh thanks atomic! I want to like hug you over the computer. Hahaha. My gut is telling me the 3rd.

I'll be getting my HCG checked Monday. Do you think they can give me a due date from those numbers? Or would that be wildly inaccurate? Judging from the darkness of the line, I would go with being 7-9DPO and the digital is still negative. But I know that's not accurate at all either.

And if it's the 3 or 4 I had two attempts in my window BUT I'm still confident in my attempt because of the MC.

Nope can't tell us anything, unfortunately. :/ just pregnant or not. A rough estimate but not specific like how we'd prefer. Dating scans later will be more helpful.

If you do get your HCG results and they still seem to be from the miscarriage you may need to have a D and C. You may have some retained tissue.

Do you think HCG numbers can go up? They baby stopped growing at 4 weeks (they said) and I did pass that tissue.

I think you're newly pregnant but something about the numbers does not add up to me so I think there ~may~ have been some mistake done in the HCG levels that's all. like they told you someone else's numbers or something to make your hcg levels seem higher than they actually were. Anything is possible and weird inexplicable things happen but people have to have some period of time between pregnancy levels of HCG and ovulating and conceiving.

So if you go back in and the HCG levels are dropping again/still then maybe something else is going on here, that's all. I would want you to be scanned just to be sure. AT 4 weeks the odds are between slim and none that there was anything retained, I'm just wanting to err on the side of caution.

Ok the office seems to be pretty pro active so maybe they would order a scan.

The weird thing was 2 weeks ago, the nurse was like "great the numbers are going down so well you don't need to come back" when I called.

Then the same nurse called back and said that the doctor said we must follow these numbers down to below a 5.

It's going to be apparent at the next bloodwork (or if that pregnancy test starts reading higher) if you're actually pregnant or not.

Below a 5 is where you need to be for your body to go "ok I"m not pregnant, I can start my menstrual cycle now" at which point it would have to take 10-14 days at the soonest to develop an egg and ovulate. So for you to go from 6+ on a Monday to turn around to ovulate on a Tuesday or however it all went down, it just doesn't all add up according to my knowledge on the subject (which at this point I feel like is pretty decent understanding).

I would even wonder if the 6 reading may have been from pregnancy 2 and not the miscarriage. Something is just not adding up here on the timeline and the fact that you had such an early loss typically would mean that you would bounce right back to being fertile quite quickly.

I am just feeling like, yes, you are pregnant, we will know more on the dating scan, but in the VERY VERY DISTANT possiblity that this could still be leftover HCG there may be retained tissue. I have only ever seen that happen like 2-3 times and they were all late first tri losses. I think you're pregnant, I just want you to have that in the back of your mind to ask about it in case something comes up and you don't make it back to the site for some reason between then and now.
