| rhona 1/16/2007 | . | In Sept (06) my husband and I decided we were ready to start trying to get pregnant. By the end of Sept, I was looking at 3 positive pregnancy tests. In November (10 weeks pregnant) I was using the bathroom and noticed some blood. My husband took me to the hospital and after two ultra sounds, a urine test, blood test and six aganizing hours later the doctors informed us that we did not have a "normal" pregnancy. They said the baby was not developing to the stage of pregnancy I was supposed to be at. They told me to go home and that I would pass the fetal sac and tissue on my own. Three weeks later, I did just that. It was very painful and absolutely the most horrible thing I've ever had to go through. So, almost 10 weeks later, I am still having to go to get blood tests done because my HCG levels have not returned to normal. Is this unusual? |
| luvbug02 1/16/2007 C1 | . | some women it takes longer for the levels to return to normal mine only took 2 weeks but i was only 7 weeks preg with eptopic so i had really low numbers some women still had higher levels at 14 weeks after m/c. I am so sorry that you are going thru this and i hope that you stay strong and I am sure you will get preg again and have a healthy baby good luck. |
| MomofAlmostFour 1/17/2007 C2 | . | I had a D&C on Sept. 21 (I was 11+ weeks pregnant, but the baby had died at 8 weeks), and my levels didn't return to normal until Dec. 15 (about 12 weeks later; I'd been thinking it was 10 weeks, but I just went back and counted). It's incredibly frustrating to wait so long (and to go through so many blood tests), but hang in there. Your levels WILL come down! |
| newbieg 1/17/2007 C3 | . | i was going to post this same question today. i had a dnc for a missed mc at 7 weeks on 9/27 and STILL havent had hcg<5. i had a 2nd "dnc" in the md office on 12/1 and have had levels drawn since. 25, 2 wks later 14 2 wks later 9. so i am EXTREMELY frustrated. i have to go in for ANOTHER us today to see if their is residual tissue. im so worried i will NEVER be normal again. i got pg the same time as a girl at my work and she is 6 mos pg! this is ridiculous. i dont know if i should be upset with my md, or if there is nothing more she could be doing. i have to wonder how many others have gone through the same thing? is there anything else md can do? or is it just a horrible waiting game? is it bad practice that i went under anesthesia and they clearly did not get it all? even after the 2nd time? im soooo over this! |
| tina1111 1/17/2007 C4 | . | Did they ever check to be sure you passed everything? I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. |
| hoogie 1/17/2007 C5 | . | Hi, I also have sort of the same sorry. I had an M?C on Dec 2nd/06. I did not have a D&C but I did get Cytotec on the week-end. My numbers last Friday 6 weeks after were still 968. I hoping that this week they will be much lower. I feel like I will never be the same again. I still bleed and pass tissue. My hubby and I are planng to celebrate when it goes below 5. I just want to start trying again. It is so frustrating!!!!!! Good luck and don't worry they will go down. Mine even went up for a few days from 1600ish to 1800ish but then they dropped again. The highest that they were was 18,000. Good Luck and I'm very sorry for your loss. Love and prayers. |
