ttc after d&c
OK ladies on 2-14-18 I had a d&c I was about 6 weeks along my hcg was 19000 but nothing ever developed. So fast forward my levels were decreasing amazingly until this last week. They went from 47 to 42 in 5 Days .. my questions are 1) has this happened to anyone ? If so what was the outcome

So sorry for your loss. So the number is going down then? Just slowly? It could possibly be retained products of conception. I would definitely keep following your numbers to zero. That's what my OB did after my D&C.

My ob also told us to wait until the levels got to zero you may want to use some kind of protection until then . It took me 6 weeks to get my levels back to 0 mine were at 40000

My ob told us the only reason to wait is just for dating purposes that we were good to try again

I had my original d&c Aug 24th. Emergency room visit September 26th showed retained products. 2 round of Cytotec did nothing. HCG started leveling off and Oct 16th and 30th came back the exact same. Nov 1st started going back up and ultrasound showed that my body had tried to build up retained products as a new pregnancy. Repeat d&c Nov 3rd. HCG dropped to 3 on Dec 6th. Thought it was over. Dec 28th felt like I was having contractions. HCG was less then 1. Ultrasound showed what they thought was a blood clot. Pain medicine and Cytotec was given. 10 mins after I took it I passed a mass of calcified retained products larger then a golf ball. Then it was finally over. It is possible it's a new pregnancy for you. Make sure your doctor knows and is checking your numbers to see what's going on.
