HCG Levels after D&C

Hey ladies just wondering how long post D&C before your hcg dropped to zero?  I had my D&C on september 27th but am not sure where my HCG was at at that point as I just didn't care to hear it at the time.  Was 8.5 weeks along but baby had stopped at 6 and body had started to reabsorb the fluid and things from what the doctor said based on the ultrasound.  Was given Misoprostol to start the process and D&C the next day.  Just curious how long it took everyone else?  I felt odd today, just off and queasy sporadically for no reason.  I don't want to take a pregnancy test as I'm sure I've still got residual HCG floating and to be honest after four m/c in a row i'm not sure I would be ready to be pregnant again yet so don't want to see any false positives.  So just curious how long it took everyone else's to drop?

    It really depends on the person and how high the levels were when you had the surgery. Mine usually took about 4-5 weeks to go back to zero. Hopefully your go down more quickly.

    I have no clue! My doctor never drew my blood to check for levels. At my ER visit at 5 weeks they were 890. I also don't want to take a pregnancy test but that's the only way I'll get to know since I hate my doctors office. Good luck i hope yours go down soon!

    Any updates to this? I was searching for this answer myself as I did make the mistake of taking a test yesterday (I'm about 5 weeks post D&C). I only took it to see if it was negative yet, and it was not. My OB ordered a beta and it was 6. So most likely it still has not gone down to zero.
