I'm sorry your going through this after what is already a difficult experience.

It doesn't happen all that often, but sometimes after a d&c there can still be retained tissue (basically it was missed).  This can cause your body to still think it is pregnant, and your hcg levels can rise.  Again, not common, but it does happen.  An ultrasound will confirm this if it is the case.  I'm not a Dr. but sadly have a lot of experience with miscarriage and d&c's, and I would strongly suspect this is what has happened.  

Again, I'm sorry for what you have been through and wish you peace and healing.
