Hi ladies.
I'm cautiously posting here in hopes someone will understand what I'm going through.
I had a MMC where baby stopped developing at 6 weeks but we didn't find out until 8. Waited to MC naturally and ended up losing too much blood too quickly and had to be rushed to the ER for a D&C at 9 weeks on August 19. My hcg was down to 8 on Sept 8 and down to 2 on Sept 15. My doctor told me to wait one cycle to try again. I kind of just decided on my own to not prevent anything and relax. I think I ovulated around September 10ish and I got a positive pregnancy test today at 36 days post D&C. Kind of extremely shocked.
I called the nurse line and she seems skeptical and told me to test again in a week. They didn't want to do blood work yet. I thought that was kind of odd.
If my hcg was 2 last week and I got a positive test on a FRER test today that would mean my hcg should be at least 25, right? Is there a way for your hcg to rise again after dropping post D&C due to retained tissue or something?
Would you guys push for blood work or just wait a week and test? Since its already Friday afternoon I will wait until at least Monday to call back I guess.

Congratulations! To me this clearly sounds like a new pregnancy!!
Looks like we are in slightly similar situations. My doctor ordered blood work today and I am going for the first round this evening. I would definitely push for a beta. FX'd for the both of us!
