high hcg after second d and c -worried.
hi
i had a miscarriage on july 17th at 6 1/2 weeks. i had a d and c on the 18th. for the next 2 weeks i didn't feel well and still felt pregnant. i went for hcg levels checked last wed and they cam back at 22,232! had to go back on the friday for repeat bloods and scan. bloods came back at 20,221 and scan showed baby still they!! ( dead) and lots of clots. doctors couldn't understand how it was still there after first d andc . not a twin preg either, therefore i had a second d and c last friday and had my levels checked again on monday and another scan. levels are dropping but not low enough docs concerned again as levels now 12,000. scan also showed some remianing fluid. i am worried it is a partial molar preganacy. i saw my GP last night and he also thought it could mean a molar pregnancy. i go back to the hospital on friday for another scan and bloodwork. any advice/ info would be great.
thanks

I suffered a missed m/c on July 2nd and had d & c on July 3rd. It took about 4 weeks for my levels to come down from 47,000 to begin with and they nearly did another surgery. They finally hit 1 which surprised the doctor and I got my first menses on august 1st. I know they said I was a slow case, so I hope that helps...maybe if only a little and good luck.
been back to hospital tuesday. blood work now 7,400. coming down but slowly how long will it take to come down? is it normal to still be this high and take so long to come down after 2 d and c's? lab work back and not molar pregnacy which is good. thanks for your advice in advance.
MY BLOOD WORK FROM FRIDAY WAS 10,000, THIS IS STILL HIGH? DOCTORS STILL SEEM A BIT CONCERNED, I HAVE TO GO BACK ON TUESDAY FOR REPEAT BLOODS AND TO SEE CONSULTANT. DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?
