Maybe it was them being lax. Maybe it's yours being too anal. <br /><br />After my first D&C and what I thought was my first period and first ovulation and subsequent 2WW, I got a positive pg test. My doctor, who did do a beta after I started bleeding (and where I thought I was miscarrying again), said that it's possible that even six weeks after my D&C (at 15wks) I could still have enough hCG to drop a positive pg test. <br /><br />You go, you nod your head, you humor him and then walk out going, "I told you so, " under your breath.Yo-yo Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762060756925882704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10077755.post-2912249309064155682010-06-19T20:53:52.781-05:002010-06-19T20:53:52.781-05:00Sorry to hear about the extra headaches.

Among my few losses, there was one with a weird fluctuating beta. That is crazy-making, so I really hope this is not the case for you and that your levels are dropping.

It is so frustrating - like, why I am trusting you with my future reproductive health if you are going to compare a 14dpo beta from what? four years ago? to one 4 days post D&C??? So stupid. Not to go on a rant but I also had a doctor tell me once that my miscarriage was a blighted ovum even though there was a fetal pole and a flicker of a heartbeat at one point. How is it even possible that she went to school for years to study reproductive medicine and I spent two hours on the internet and she's wrong?<br /><br />Anyway. I think 19,000 is totally reasonable for where you are at. I'm hoping the next one falls fast toward zero.marahttp://barfingrainbowsandunicorns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
