    Hi Niki,

    Welcome to our thread, and BellyBelly. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

    As for the tests your DR wants to carry out. Obviously they have found that your HCG levels (which are your homones that sustain your pregnancy) are still in your system, and considering you had your m/c at the begining of Jan, and you've had a D&C, and your HCG is still not at 0, they could be concerned that there may still be something left over in your uterus from your m/c causing your hormone levels to stay elevated. Either that, or they may be very slow in dropping, depending on how far into your pregnancy you were when you had your m/c & D&C.

    As for starting to TTC again, I would personally wait until you have the allclear from your DR that your levels are at 0, because if there is something still in your uterus from your previous pg, and you were to get pregnant again, there more than likely would be problems resulting in another m/c.

    I know it's hard hun, but have to listen to your body and just be patient until you know things are 100%. Fingers crossed that you're levels have dropped to 0 and you can get on with the job of making a beautiful, healthy bubba. Good luck.
