Thanks alot I have been like stressing out not that I was pregnant but it's still to soon I did go back to the doctor's office after I had my dnc last week they didn't do any blood work they know that we are trying again he just said after I get my period then I will ovulate so I am just guessing as I go I will be sure to call and see if they will check my levels thanks girls

you should have gone back to the doctors after and had your blood test done to see if your hcg levels fully went down.

lisas right it migh be from your previous pregnancy but either way....call your doctors and give them a call. you should have had an apointment after your dnc

hi,
The chances are, it will be your hormone levels from previous pregnancy. You will not be able to get pregnant again until those previous hcg levels have returned to normal. When the hormone levels return to normal, only then will you ovulate. I think 10-12wks is the time where those hormone levels reach their peak so they can take up to 6wks possibly longer to come down.
I could be wrong but my sister had the same scenario and thats what she was told, in fact, her hormone levels didn't come completly down until 8wks after her d&c.
Good luck anyway ! xx
