Frustrated

An update on me....I mc at 5 weeks on December 1st.  My HCG was being monitored and was dropping until December 26th.  It went from a 45 up to 200 something.  We were elated thinking that we had gotten pregnant on our own.  After a day on cloud 9 we were brought back down to reality when the RE informed me it was just residual tissue from the mc and that this happens.  I took Misoprostol which is supposed to rid your body of anything left.  That didnt happen.  I have had bloodwork done two more times since then and the HCG is going down but very slowly.  Has anyone else had this experience?  I am starting to get really impatient and frustrated and just want to move on to the FET.  Any ideas of what I can do from here?  It sounds to me like the RE is just going to wait for it to go to 0.  Who knows when that will happen?!

    I don't have any advice, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss and that your hcg went up and gave false hope - that is so hard.  (( Hugs ))  I hope your levels get down to 0 very quickly.

    I'm so sorry for your loss!!! And so sorry that your emotions keep getting jacked around... Hopefully you can get to a baseline and get back to trying... if that's what you want... I started my period after my mc with an hcg of 4 so it doesn't have to be a zero just close. Best of luck to you!

    Lurker here....but I had a similar experience. I miscarried at 9 weeks and had a d and c. A month later I was still getting positive hpts so they started checking betas. The hcg level was going down really slow and then it went up again. They did not find any retained tissue on the ultrasound so just kept monitoring the levels. I was charting and doing opks as well and I was actually ovulating even with positive hcgs.

    Four months after my d and c I finally had a negative test. The very next day I got my period and a couple weeks later I got pregnant naturally with my second son.

    I was getting acupuncture and following a Chinese medicine diet during this time to try to regulate my hormones. Not sure if that is what made the difference or not.

    Good luck, I know it is terribly frustrating to have to wait for your levels to go down.
