Just wondering how long it takes hcg to leave your body after giving birth? My body has been acting weird for some time and I almost feel like it's gearing up to go fertile again and it's probably from the lack of breastfeeding at the beginning and no baby for 3 weeks. I've never had it happen that soon after baby so wondering how long it takes for the hormones to dampen down

hm I’m not sure but I know you can ovulate quite soon after giving birth, like you start a new cycle after giving birth, especially if you’re not breastfeeding.

@RedRose this study says usually 8-24 days for hcg to be out of your system

Go, progesterone, go! It’s up nearly 5 points today, from 8.1 to 12.9! I added in some fake pre-O temps for visualization purposes btw so that’s why those are there now lol

@shaescott all so promising!! Fx fx fx!

@RedRose19 not sure about hcg but I think I heard like 6 weeks postpartum it should be out of your system.

RedRose19---the symptoms you are describing sound like a combination of birth trauma, concern for your daughter, and the unnatural separation from her you have had to experience due to her NICU stay.
Be gentle with yourself. It sounds like all that stress has impacted your emotions and hormones.
Do you have support/someone to talk to/lean on about what you have recently gone through?
I hope your daughter heals and graduates from NICU and that your body and mind reaches equilibrium soon.
Postpartum with my son last year was really hard on my spirit and emotions. It took time, but eventually I started to heal from it all.

yeah ive had to book a session with my therapist because I think for the first time I'm dealing with ppd . I think the separation the ptsd of seeing her have the seizures. I think my body on top of it all assumed I lost the baby due to the separation. I was pumping but I don't think it's the same as the skin to skin and baby feeding from you
