Still levels 6 1/2 weeks after mc and d

[jmichel8]

Ok last week levels were 31.5, yesterday they were 24.  What is going on? I had my mc 6 1/2 weeks ago and had tissue removed.  A week ago Sunday i had what i thought was AF from Sunday - Thursday.  My dr says not to be tested for a month.

- Has this happend to any one else, if so what happened and when were you to zero
- I asked the nurse if i peed on a preg test if it would be an accurate reading with my levels this low (so that i can give myself some comfort if i am zero before the blood test).

Any guidance??  I need some support.

I'm waiting for my levels to go down. Mine were:
3600 2 weeks ago
500 last Monday
66 this past Monday

I hope they don't crawl at this point. I anxious for them to get to zero and try again.

I was at 7 weeks and didn't have a D&C.

I am just at the end of my rope.  I am frustrated and feel so lost.  I want an end in sight, one to TTC, and two to have closure.  

What did any of your dr's say to you all about TTC?

Amanda ~ Do you think your levels were zero when you became pregnant?? Congrats!!!  Also, did you get an period right before you conceived??  Best of luck to you!

[jmichel8]

I should have asked better, did you get your period before you and your husband conceived the baby??

[AmandaSam]

no im not positive but i think we concieved around Oct 29 or Nov 1 b.c i took Pg test at doc on Nov 17th and was positive...and my doc. appt. was Dec.5th and my levels were at 1426 and they said i was about 4 weeks and if soo i didnt have my af it was implantation bleeding..this helps out? sorry if confussing you. if any more questions post me back..Amanda

ok sry haha i forgot to write about the levels..i think my levels were at 0..or at least neg 5..b.c if ur level arent at that number then most likely u wont "O" and if my levels were 166 on Oct 18 and then on Oct 23 they were at 83 then by Oct 25th they should have been by zero or neg. 5...u see what i mean? Amanda

[jmichel8]

i understand... my levels are the following:
Oct 23 : 48,000 after mc 8,000
857
426
157
63
31.7 last week
24.5 yeterday

The dr said not to go back for another blood test for a month. I am frustrated because it dropped so little from last week to this. I am so confused, especially when i had a period or i thought it was a week ago Sunday.

whose to say how long it will take for mine to go back to zero.  I am so happy for you!

[AmandaSam]

Thanx so much hopefully everything will be ok this time ...and im sorry for what you are going thru..but it should be down hopefully in a week or so..when did u have d&c?if u dont mind me askin.

My numbers didn't go down fast either when i mc in July. After 3 weeks and being really discouraged i started to excerise . I'm not sure if my numbers went down because of the excerise or just because but a week later my numbers went to zero. Hope this helps. I currently 6 weeks pregnant.

[AmandaSam]

hi im sorry if im askin tmi..i was wondering how much ur levels were and when u concieved around? mine are 1426 and they r saying im about 4 weeks but thats all they r saying.

[jmichel8]

I just don't understand how mine can drop from 31.7 to 24 in one week, that seems so slow.  if it dropped 7 points every week it would take me 3 more weeks... which would be 10 weeks after mc and d&C, not to mention, i still need to wait the 4 - 6 weeks for my period.  how depressing.
