HCG LEVELS

I JUST HAD A MISCARRIAGE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.... THIS IS MY 3RD MISCARRIAGE.... I HAD MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE FIRST ONE AND I HAVE HAD TWO SINCE I HAD HER.... SHE JUST TURNED TWO YEARS OLD DEC 4TH.... THE FIRST MISCARRIAGE I HAD I DIDN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR BUT ONCE CUZ I WAS REALLY SCARED CUZ I WAS ONLY 16... AND I DIDN'T WANT MY PARENTS TO FIND OUT... SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT MY HCG LEVELS DID ON THE FIRST ONE BUT THE SECOND ONE THEY LINGERED FOR OVER A MONTH BUT I WAS 3 MONTHS PREGNANT WHEN I LOST THE BABY AND I BLEED FOR OVER 3 WEEKS SO I FIGURED THAT WAS NORMAL.... WELL THIS TIME I WAS ONLY 5 WEEKS PREGNANT WHEN I STARTED BLEEDING AND I ONLY BLEED FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS BUT MY HORMONE LEVELS WON'T GO DOWN AGAIN... I GOT MY HORMONE LEVELS CHECKED 3 DAYS AFTER I STOPPED BLEEDING AND THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT MOST WOMENS HORMONE LEVELS ARE DOWN BELOW 15 BY THAT POINT BUT THAT HE IS OKAY WITH THEM BEING BETWEEN 20-30... HE SAID HE WILL BE A LITTLE CONCERNED IF THEY ARE AROUND 50 BUT HE WILL JUST LET IT SLIDE SINCE I HAVE HAD MY BLOOD TAKEN SO MUCH AS IT IS.... WELL I GOT MY HCG LEVELS BACK AND THEY ARE STILL ABOVE 110... WHAT MAKES MY BODY KEEP THIS HCG HORMONE SO LONG... I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO THROW UP ALL THE TIME CUZ I HAVE THE HCG HORMONE AND THE BIRTHCONTROL HORMONE IN MY BODY NOW CUZ THE DOCTOR SAID THAT HE THINKS I SHOULD WAIT ATLEAST A YEAR BEFORE WE TRY AGAIN SO HE PUT ME BACK ON BIRTH CONTROL .... DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON THIS?? I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS IF YOU HAVE JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WANNA TELL ME ABOUT IT THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.... I JUST WANNA TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS.... THANKS!!

Did you pass everything or had a D&C? I would ask about a D&C.I heard if tissue is still present levels will not go down? I'm Sorry BTW,I had a m/c in '06 but it was Ectoic(in the tubes).

[JEN05]

NO I DID NOT HAVE A D&C.... THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT THIS ONE WAS AN ECTOPIC ALSO... BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND A SAC WHEN THEY DID THE ULTRA SOUND... THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES A WOMAN'S BODY WILL TAKE CARE OF AN ECTOPIC BY ITSELF AND YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THE BABY REMOVED FROM THE TUBE... AND THAT MY BODY PROBABLY TOOK CARE OF IT ON ITS ON...

What were your levels before the m/c? are they slowing down a little bit? did they do an u/s on the tubes just to make sure that nothing in there, to rule out an ectopic? ARe you having some pains or cramping on your sides? I heard that sometimes it will takes 2 -4 weeks for the levels to back down to 0 , or if you have concerns, please let your doctor knows or get a second opinion..

I am soo sorry for your losses, i had 2 m/cs in the past, i know it really sucks....GOODLUCK..

ah so it took only 3 days to go down your levels, which is good. isyour doc will do another blood work a week after? i hope so..

[JEN05]

NO,,,, IT TOOK THREE DAYS FOR MY LEVELS TO "START" GOING  DOWN.... THREE DAYS AFTER I "FINISHED" BLEEDING MY LEVELS ARE STILL "ABOVE" 110.... SO NOT GOOD...

[JEN05]

IT TOOK THREE DAYS FOR MY LEVELS TO "START" GOING DOWN AFTER I STARTED BLEEDING HEAVY.... I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ANYMORE.... I'M JUST SO TIRED OF THIS DRAGGING ON AND ON.... I JUST WANT THIS TO BE OVER WITH SO I CAN MOVE ON....
