Hcg levels after D&C

[xpinky]

I had a missed misscarriage in June, took misoprostol 2 times, had d&c mid July. My hcg levels after d&c dropped from 8000 to 200. One week post D&C my levels were at 200. I was instructed to take a pregnancy test and if it came back positive I was suppose to call my Dr. Guess what it still showed up positive! Two weeks after D&C my husband and I did have sex. My levels 2 days ago was 150 and today it was 170. My Dr thinks I'm either pregnant or there might be left over tissue. Has this happened to anyone before?

I've had a similar situation. I found out 2 weeks ago that I was miscarrying, I have been bleeding for 4+ weeks. My hcg 2 weeks ago we're 13,000, it then went down after 2 days to 9,000 then another 2 days 7,000, 1week later it was 1,700, that was a week ago, they didn't do a d&c as they said my body is dealing with it bit im sure after 2 weeks the pregnancy will show positive as Im still bleeding.
So I have a week to wait to find out. I know I can't be pregnant as I havent got rid of these hormones yet.
I would say other seems like a new pregnancy for you but I could be wrong, I hope u get the result u want x x

I read that it could take 4-6 weeks for your levels to reach 0. I had a blood draw to confirm my were at 0 after 6 weeks.

I wasn't suppose to have a D&C but my levels started to rise and my Dr was scared I might get an infection. If I was pregnant the numbers are suppose to double. Got a pelvic/vaginal ultrasound waiting for the results.

Did they monitor you weekly? Can't believe mine only went down by 50 in 3 weeks them slightly went back up!

Mine took four weeks after d and c to be zero.

No, they just did a draw at six weeks.

Got an ultrasound last week and my Dr said there was no left over tissue. Got my blood drawn today and its still stuck at 150. If there's no left over tissue what else could it be? It's been 5 weeks since my D&c

Pinky are you having more blood taken soon?

I had a molar last year an it was stuck around the 200 but as long as it went down by 10% a week they were happy...

I'm now 7 weeks from erpc & feel weird, morning sickness back & for some reason gone mega bloated so I'm wondering whether I had another molar pregnancy...had blood this AM so will know tomorrow what the levels are...

Just want to get back to normal eh...x

What's erpc? I got my blood drawn 3 times since last week and its still about the same. So sad the last time we talked I was pregnant. Things happen for a reason. How did they know it was a molar pregnancy?

 

[aimze]

Erpc is a different word for the D and C...

The molar pregnancy was diagnosed from the testing...

If the levels have been the same 3 draws I would ask them about the possibilities of a molar? My results came back an they're under 5....great news but still where's my period!!!!

[aimze]

Nope no period! Just very light spotting here and there. Maybe thats a good thing? I have another ultrasound appointment next week since she thinks I might be pregnant again which I don't think I am! Might get a hysteroscopy depending on the results.

Keep in mind that if this is a new pregnancy, nothing will show on an U/S if your levels are below 1000. I would keep up with the beta testing and maybe another scan in a couple of weeks. x

 

[aimze]

When's your next beta Hun? X

Not sure....I have an appointment on Tuesday for an ultrasound. I'm thinking she should be checking my levels but she didnt say anything about it.

 

[aimze]

Let us know pinky! Xx

 

[xpinky]

I'll keep you updated! I started to have a light period yesterday. Kinda TMI but I had stringy blood clots come out. I hope that's a good sign.

 

[aimze]

It will be Hun...the hcg will drop with bleeding..

Big hugs xx
