Hcg after miscarriage and D&C

[djmommy]

I sooo wish it was but it's not dark like it should be.

It was lighter yesterday

Super light but there. Most people probably wouldn't see it but I've looked at so many over the years..lol

I feel you, I have a trained eye by now and definitely see it. Very hard to tell if it's maybe an early chemical or residual HCG from the last loss. HCG also can take 72 hours to double, so if you were only still CD27 or 28, still sooo early for a new pregnancy too.

I really feel for you! And like I mentioned earlier, I ended up having retained fetal tissue from one of my losses that kept making these persistent faint positives but no positive betas even.

Thanks Panther. It's super frustrating, esp wanting to be pregnant !! CD 28 and no AF. I guess I will wait a week to see is AF shows and if not put a call in to OB. I'm never late unless pregnant and don't recall annovulatory cycles.

So what was your outcome? Did you end up having another d&c?

So we had thought I had passed everything at first, so ended up only doing one d&c which was after we found the tissue.

Yes I hear ya. I'll recheck to make sure it goes completely negative
What a total letdown though. I totally thought I could be preggo, felt like I was too but could be in my head haha
Well see what the next few weeks brings. DH isn't being very careful so fx something will happen. I hope I will at least ovulate, dont think I have this cycle. Is there any way to tell it's annovulatory expect by temp? Or obviously ultrasound?

Even WITH those things you don't ever know in advance if it's going to be anovulatory or if O is just delayed nd then you'd ovulate later on. either AF comes or it doesn't, unfortunately.

Level of 5 is not unheard of and in fact is normal for some people. I am still concerned about retained tissue, though. Let's just keep an eye on this and see what happens.

Happy birthday to your little guy!

I think this i a good plan.

Okay so I know I said that was my last question, lol, but I'm probably grasping at straws here and just feel like I'm frustrated and running out of time with my age. Cd29 today no AF , and I'm wondering if it's way too late to ovulate or if I should chalk it up to an annovulatory cycle or everything is just still really messed up!

[atomic sagebrush]

YES you absolutely can ovulate still. An anovulatory cycle is only anovulatory when a breakthrough bleed happens. Up till that point I want you guys to assume ovulation will occur and keep rolling with attempts!!!
