TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ October 07 #3

[Spring Angel]

Hello you wonderful ladies, I hope you don't mind me posting a question in here. You'd think I'd know enough about these sort of things but I haven't had a D&C before so thought I'd draw on your collective knowledge.

My best friend sadly lost her darling little baby at 10 weeks (the baby had stoped growing at 8 weeks). She had a D&C the following day which was almost one month ago. She bled for about a week and then it went away. The bleeding then came back and the Ob gave her antibiotics in case of infection. The bleeding has now finished.

The problem is that he HCG is still not back at zero. She is very anxious to TTC again. At the time of her D&C her HCG was 100000, it went down with each blood test but now a month later it is still 2.

Has anyone got any experience with this and perhaps an idea of what is going on. It is really upsetting her as she wants it to get to 0 so that her cycle can start again.

Thank you so much ladies, I appreciate any advice/opinions that you might have.

Hi Spring Angel, my GP told me that anything less than HCG 5 is considered 'normal' for any non-pregnant woman. So if it's 2 then I personally wouldn't be concerned at all. Best of luck to your friend, it's a difficult time as most of us in here are unfortunatley all too familiar with. Hope this info helps your friend.

Satya - that's lovely news I'm glad you can start to relax now. Best wishes.

AJC: Thanks sweetie for your reply, I'll let her know.

Do you know if she has to go back to 0 to get her AF?
