Okay so I'm looking for advice and anyone else who has gone through this horrible experience! I had a natural miscarriage in may of this year at 13 weeks. My doctor started doing hcg quants to see if I could get back to zero. On July 10 hcg was 200. On July 12 it was 193. On July 30 it was 112. August 13 - 92. Today August 27-87. So on August 13 when my levels were 92, I aware up and down I was ovulating! Sticky cm (tmi) and I just felt different. So hubby and I tried for baby that day and the 14th. The past few days I have had pregnancy symptoms... Frequent urination, sensitive to smell, high exhaustion. Food ad versions & bitter taste in my mouth (which I had with my pregnancy that miscarried). I'm just wondering if since my hcg only dropped by 5 in two weeks could I be pregnant again and that is why it didn't drop by much? Or am I just insane?! Why is this taking so long? It's been almost three months & I am still dealing with this! Help please! Thank you
Re: Ttc after loss and hcg level trouble!
POAS, if u get two lines, go directly to PGAL board.
Better yet, call ur doctor.
Good luck.
Edit: I misread I thought they went up, some levels drop slowly but still address concerns with doctor that seems extremely slow and it's fair to ask for an ultrasound IMO
I was in no way trying to be rude to anyone for the billionth time but now I'm irritated! I had never ever posted onto any type of forum EVER in my life so I had no idea what I was doing. I posted on my iPhone so I saw no specific directions as to where to post or where to NOT post. I was assuming I most likely was not pregnant, there for I am trying to conceive after a loss there for that is why I wrongly assumed to post my question there. I was honestly just looking for support and other women going through similar experiences! Thank you to those of you who were indeed supportive and giving me advice, for those of you who were rude and jumping down my throat shame on you. It was like high school all over again. It was a bit ridiculous just for posting on the wrong forum, excuse me! Geeeeez. I feel that as women especially women who have gone through a miscarriage we should all be kind and supportive to each other not rude and snarky! I've gone through months of therapy just trying to feel better from this and I just wanted so desperately to find others who had went through the same thing and support, I apologize for posting on the wrong flipping forum and I seriously didn't intend to offend ANYONE AT ALL!!!

Whether you knew what you were posting or not, in the wrong place or not, has nothing to do with your expectations for how you think we should be acting. We are under no obligation to support first-time posters on this board, especially ones who seem to openly flout the rules that are clearly laid out at the top of the board. How are we to know you are mobile, or have no clue how forums work in the first place? A TTC after loss board is a poor choice for trying out your first ever forum post. I mean, forums aren't so different from real life, here you are expected to lurk a bit to get to know how the board works before barging in and posting without even an introduction or anything, just as in real life you wouldn't barge into a room full of strangers and ask them abut your HCG levels and possible pregnancy without first getting to know if it was the right place to ask such a question.
Your post was exactly like the kinds of posts we get all. the. time from trolls and such who live to stir things up and cause pain to others, "am I pregnant' posts are just extremely hurtful and not received well. This board is our safe place with a clear set of rules for behaviour and how to post, just as ignorance of the laws doesn't excuse you from getting that speeding ticket in real life, ignorance of our rules doesn't excuse your behaviour. Again, we are not obligated to support every person who comes here; rather, we choose to support those who follow the rules, stick around in order to get to know how things work, get to know the others in this community over time, and don't just demand support right from the get go. You have to GIVE support to GET support, it's how this community works. If you want to stay here you need to either suck it up and give a REAL apology without a 'but here's my laundry list of excuses and you guys are just mean' routine, or you can go find another board more suited to your temperament.
