I do know it takes time for your levels to go down.  The best way to check it is to have an HCG draw to measure the levels, not just a urine test.  If it continues to stay positive, with no movement, it could mean that all the tissue wasn't removed.  My levels weren't that high when I had my D&C, so at 6 weeks I was back at 0.
