Hello everyone, I'm Angela and my husband's name is Brian. I've been lurking now on this board for about a week or so and you all seem to be such friendly people - I hope you have room here for one extra person :)

Question for you all - DH and I have been TTC since July, and were ecstatic to get a BFP on 11/11. Just five days later, heavy bleeding started. Tests confirmed on 11/17 a chemical pg, with HCG levels already being at -5!!! However, it is now 12/16 and AF is no where in site. I'm definitely not PG, as I got a BFN this morning. When can I expect to get another AF? Also, I don't understand how HCG levels relate to AF and O. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks so much!

    I'm sorry you're here, but welcome aboard! AF just kinda comes on her own. Sorry I don't have more answers for you.

    Welcome Angela. I'm sorry for your loss.  I'm not much help in answering your questions though. It's my limited understanding that you can still get AF with a low HCG.  I'm sure you've heard this alot, but everyone is different and it may just be taking a while for your body to "reset" itself.  Warmest regards.

    I'm sorry for your loss, but welcome. I think with a chemical pg AF shows up a little sooner then a d&c. I had a d&c and am still waiting for AF, I hit 50 days today.

    Hi, and welcome (although I am sorry to hear you had to join our club). . . after my 1st m/c AF arrived 4 weeks to the day. with my 2nd m/c I am still waiting, and it has been 67 days. If it takes more than 6 weeks you may want to call your doctor. best wishes.
    m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks). and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers). IUI#1 and #2: BFNs Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie. Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011

    I am so sorry for your loss.  AF can take a while after your m/c -- it seems to vary from a few weeks to a few months.  Since you had a CP, I would guess that it would be around the corner for you.  Good luck!
