Hey Everyone. My Wife unfortunately had a miscarriage at about 4-5 week earlier this month. So now we're playing the HCG level drop waiting game. Few questions regarding that. So blood work from a week ago had her HCG at 106. Results that came back today had her HCG at 9. They want her to come back 1 week from now to see if her levels are low enough to TTC.
To me if her levels dropped by 100 in a week, then why would it take another week for them to go from 9 to 5 (safe to TTC level)? We were told to only have protected sex until next results.
I've read a lot about women seeming to have high success getting pregnant almost immediately after their miscarriage. We're afraid to wait a full week for results when her levels may be good to go now and missing a good opportunity to conceive. I've been very curious on how existing HCG levels effect ovulation. I've read ovulation can start as early as an HCG level of 5 hits. Thoughts?
