18 Days post D&C with Positive test....pregnant? or cruel joke?

[bazzb]

im NTNP for now
see below my test from yesterday I think by friday it will be negative i just want to move on

 

[MommyNikki]

I don't blame you. Ive kept busy and its help. Somethings I see or think about still make me sad, but once I found out, my D&C could have came fast enough.

I was trying to get pregnant this time (the 1st time...all 3 of my pregs were unplanned) but it was pretty much NTNP, I wasnt going to go out and by ovulating kits or anything, I just planned on staying "active" and hoping for the best.

Do you have any kids already?

 

[MommyNikki]

****couldn't have came fast enough


Im tired lol

 

[bazzb]

no unfortunately none yet soon i hope i love kids. Ive just been married over two years, so hopefully soon, this was our first pregnancy

i see from your ticker we lost our angels on the same day

 

[MommyNikki]

Wow, I guess we did. That's just the day I found out though, I urged them to do a sono at my 8 week baby appt (usually they do not do them until 12 weeks) and there was no heart beat. I'm not sure exactly when I lost the baby though--I never had any pain or bleeding. If I didnt ask for a sono, I dont know when I would have known.

 

[MommyNikki]

I think you will have no problem with your next pregnancy. I have heard of people miscarrying the first time, then getting pregnant shortly after and have no problem carrying and giving birth to a health baby

 

[bazzb]

hope you are right
mine is by the day we found out also. I had a MMC, some brown spotting which they kept saying was nothing as I had a good scan at 6 week 3 days, finally the spotting stopped but one night i thought i irritated my cervix so i went in and they sent me for a scan i was around 11 week 2 or 3 days and they told me the baby stopped growing at 6 week 4 day but my body didnt expel it
I had to take pills to make the actual mc happen

 

[MommaAlexis]

Good luck girls, I hope this is it for you both and we send love to your angel babies

 

[MommyNikki]

I had the sono at the one office, went to the hospital and lied about pain to get another scan cuz I thought they would have better equipment, and then had to have another before my D&C...it was a nightmare I felt I would never wake up from. I am real happy to have this website because it has made healing a alot easier for me. I don't have to feel akward talking to people I know and the people on here actually know what I am going through. Its hard talking to people who dont know because they tend to say stupid stuff trying to help but coming off very insensitive. I feel blessed to feel a connection throughout this horrible ordeal.

off subject but you said you had a natural MC, Do you know if the levels of HCG differ from natural MC or a D&C?

 

[bazzb]

thanks
i no my test are left over hormones as they are getting lighter, im only testing to make sure i got back to negative.

im crossing my fingers for my next cycle!

 

[MommyNikki]

Good luck girls, I hope this is it for you both and we send love to your angel babies

Thank you

 

[bazzb]

i have no clue
Last time i had my betas tested was 6 weeks 1 day and they were 35,000

 

[MommyNikki]

I only asked because Ive heard that passing naturally could leave leftover tissue, that may be why your hcg levels are still showing. Because they suctioned the tissue out from the D&C, do you think my levels would go down faster or does that not matter?

 

[bazzb]

hmm point, I did have a scan last week and it was all clear no tissue left over though

 

[MommyNikki]

I wonder why they haven't done a scan on me unless they did one in the OR during the procedure

 

[bazzb]

hmm maybe they did then?

I had a scan two weeks post miscarriage. I think i heard with d&c it drops faster but I really dont know. Do you know how high your levels were? mine were pretty high so that takes longer to decrease.

 

[MommyNikki]

The lastBW I had they were like 3,000, i think that was around 3-4 weeks. I had BW done the day I found out but I never had the results from them. I switched providers the next day because I didnt know my office no longer had affiliation to the hospital that I preferred, so I had to switch doctors before my D&C

 

[bazzb]

ohh ok i understand
maybe test tomorrow and post a pic and see if its darker, if it is go in and get your betas done!

 

[MommyNikki]

i got one done today..I will have my numbers tomorrow..I will still need another test on thursday to show whether they are increasing or not,...I will post another pic tomorrow tho
