Hi - I've been lurking here for awhile but wanted to make an introduction and first post. I've got a 3 year old son and then got pregnant again in May of this year. I had a missed miscarriage and a D&C at the beginning of July. I continued to follow my hCG level down w/ HPTs and never got a negative. It's been 6 weeks, so I went into my doctor's office and got bloodwork done to see if anything was wrong. Well, surprise, surprise - the levels rose.
And then my levels fell this week. I started gushing blood and passing clots today. I am so discouraged. I hate that this happened and I am terrified that I am doomed to never have another baby again. I'm angry that I can't seem to have a normal pregnancy experience (my son came early due to pre-e).
Anyway, thanks for listening. I think I needed to vent!
Re: Intro - M/C after D&C?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you didn't have to be here, but welcome to the board.
I don't think I understand whether you think you had another pregnancy after your D&C or whether you think your D&C wasn't complete. Either way, might be a good idea to give your Dr. a call to let them know.

Same kind of thing happened with me, yet I have YET to bleed after the 2nd m/c.
I lost our first baby at 9 weeks, followed my HCG down with hpts like you did, and then about 8 weeks later, suddenly got a +hpt. Turns out, it was a chemical pregnancy, and I had not even had a cycle before that.
As of 8 days ago, my levels were at 5. So I had b/w yesterday, and hopefully my levels will be BELOW 5 ((b/c if not, I have to go back again)). But I don't think they'd stay exactly the same for a whole week? But who knows.
GL & don't lose faith!! I know how you're feeling, and I just don't think our bodies were ready so soon after the first m/c. FX for you!
