hcg after M/C??? plz help

I have a few questions about miscarriage, hopefully someone can help me out on these issues. I suffered a M/C last Tuesday and since I have been searching the web for different issues about m/c and stuff like that. My main question really is this... If I were to get pregnant ASAP how would I know if I'm pregnant since my HCG would still be showing pregnant from my m/c? I read that its possible to conceive 14 days after a m/c if ur cycle goes back to normal which is common. Has anyone gotten pregnant this quick after a m/c with great results? I have had 2 m/c one before my 2 yr old son and now this one. I know that I want to be pregnant again, I really wanted the baby I lost. Everything I am going through is what I experienced 2 years ago, which is all normal. I hope someone can answer my questions... thanks so much!!

also I had an appt today for a dnc but my ob chose not to do one bc I expelled everything at home (he assumes) bc I have since had no cramping, and stopped bleeding. Everything I expelled was sent for genetic testing. my ob told me today following my exam that all seems well and that he wouldn't think i would go on to have further problems??? anyone experience anything like my situation before? I would appreciate ANY ANY ANY HELP thanks so much!

You poor thing. My best friend is going thru the same pain. She lost hers last week. I can't imagine the way u all feel. She is wondering the same thing you are. You can ovulate 2wks after the m/c. So, if u were to get pregnant then , you wuldn't be able to test till time for your pd. that would be 2 more weeks. Four weeks , it should be gone and show for another pg. I'm no doctoer  so i don't know. I wish I could help you, but i don't hav the answers. Maybe someone that has been thru your ordeal can help u more. I wish you the best with future pregnancies. Sorry once again for your loss..

I am sorry about your m/c.  I had a m/c in March.  It all seem s like a blur to me now.  But I know how you feel.  I don't recall too much about the hcg numbers only that mine went from 1500 to -4.  And my doctor said I could try to get pregnant following the next period.  I think he wanted my body to have a spontaneous period on its own to give hormones a chance to regulated themselves.  I have never heard of it being recomended to get pregnant 2 weeks after a m/c.  Whatever you decide, I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy in the future.

I wouldn't advise getting pregnant so soon either. To me, it seems like your body  and heart need time to heal. I told my friend that and she thought  getting pg. so soon might help her heart. I don't know. I'd let your body heal. It's been thru a lot.

Personally I would wait one cycle before falling pregnant - just to give your body a chance to have a normal period and then ovulate again. Chances are the next period may still have some remnants of the old lining and it will help to cleanse out your body. But to be honest, if you want to fall pregnant in this cycle that's entirely up to you and more power to you if it works! I'm sorry you m/c last week - it will be hard for you when you next fall pregnant to have faith in your body again, but try and we will support you and others like you all the way!

I went through a miscarriage over the weekend, and am still bleeding.  I would like to get pg as soon as possible as well.  How far along were you when you miscarried?  The further along you were in pregnancy, you would have a higher amount of HCG.  My dr. strongly suggested that I wait one cycle.  I do not understand or have knowledge of how long it takes for the body to rid itself of HCG.  Shouldn't your dr. perform an ultrasound  or blood tests (for HCG to decline) to determine that everything is complete?  My dr. specifically told me that because he 'looked' (via vaginal ultrasound)...that he didn't need to do the blood work.  Now, I'm gonna get confusing...I did pills at home to evacuate the uterus instead of a D&C.  End result is the same, but the pills are a more comfortable solution over the surgery.  So, the question is to everyone else...Do they normally do blood work following a D&C to follow the levels down, or do they only do that when you miscarry naturally??  Who knows anything about this?

i had bloodwork on 4 different occasions since the mc to make sure the hcg was decreasing and it was. i was 17 wks when i mc but the baby stopped developing at 9 weeks. i didn't have no signs or anything till last monday when i started spotting which lasted a day then the blood became worse than anything u could ever imagine and then the cramps started and when the cramps started it was no longer than 2 hours before i started passing huge clots and tissues (products of conception)... it was a horrific experience and i wouldn't want anyone else to go through it. i had a dnc the first mc i had and i would rather go through that anyday. the pain wasn't half as bad as the pain i felt last week... the pain i felt last week was honestly LABOR with no pain meds. just simply horrible. i'm also very sorry about ur mc too. i do plan to wait a cycle before ttc again, i was stating that i read today that u "should" ovulate 14 days after a m/c if ur cycle is normal. i couldn't bear another lose of a child again. I know everything happens for a reason and thats what i'm trying to figure out why this has happened to me 2 times allready... i pray all will go well for you and for everyone else ttc. good luck and take care if you need to talk i'm here for ya.
