Hi everyone. I am just hoping for some advice. I had a D&C 3.5 weeks ago at 9 weeks with a blighted ovum. I have been testing weekly to see the hcg leave my system and the positive line on the hpt has been getting lighter. Just tested now and it is as light as last Sunday. There is no way I could be pregnant as I am LTTTC. Just wondering how long until the hcg will be gone altogether? The line looks like my previous 10/11dpo, so very light but still there. Using sensitive hpts at 15 hcg.
I made a post earlier almost the same stats as you. Although I had a natural miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I got a BFP today that would indicate pregnancy as the last 3 test I have taken in a span of over a week have been neg. I am not sure what LTTTC means??? But maybe you are pregnant.
When did your bleeding stop?? You may have to see the dr and get blood work done?
Sometimes when you are further along in your pregnancy the levels take a bit longer to drop. I don't think anything up to 6weeks is abnormal, but I also don't think there is an 'average' timeframe.
Perhaps if you're worried your doctor will send you for a HCG series?
3 weeks after my D&C I still had some pg symptoms and my HPTs were very faint positives until about 4-5 weeks after the D&C. I kept hoping the lines would get darker, but they didnt, they just stayed really faint for ages.
As Kim said, maybe see your Dr if you are concerned.
Oh hun, I had no idea, im so sorry. I would suggest that you get another BT, I know with my BO and D&C my FS was still testing my HCG till 0. sending you lots of love x
I think from memory it took about 3-4 weeks to get a negative and then i started the opk tests...but i still think for the first few months they werent correct until everything was out of my system..sorry for you're loss
Oh wow! How awesome would that be?! I hope you are love. Tbh I can't imagine any reason why ur hcg would increase after having dropped other than pregnancy. I hope you come and join our BB thread.
Kokonut - haven't seem you in there for awhile. Hope I see you soon
Hi everyone, thanks so much for your support and well wishes. Just got my BT results back, and have had the surprise of my life. Hcg at 14dpo was 110, so very happy with this, have another BT next Monday to check levels rising then fingers crossed off to see the OB for a scan. Can you believe it, never in my wildest dreams. Very excited and hope all goes well this time. xx
New to this thread. I was going to say I have heard after a D&C you can be more fertile (not sure how true it is just something I was told)
I am sorry for your loss so I am really hoping this continues to be good news for you
ps on a side note. A friend of mine had a mc and a d&c and 3 weeks later was pg. (I only just remembered as I was typing) I remember her thinking it was the same as you were thinking just left over preg hormones. But nope she fell pg just after her d&c
Hi everyone,
Thanks again for your support, just wanted to let you know that unfortunately I started bleeding yesterday and scan this morning confirmed misscarriage. I am gutted. That is twice in two months. Will be taking a few months off I think. xx
+hpt 3 weeks after d&c
