Infertility

Positive?!!!

hoping someone can clarify my situation with their own personal experience! I became pregnant with twins through IVF I miscarried at 12 weeks. I had a D&C 7 weeks ago next Monday so I guess 6.5 weeks ago. I started feeling mega tired this week and a little bit of small cramping in my 'lady area' I took a digital home pregnant test last night and it has pregnant 1-2 weeks!?

My question is could it be real?! Or could my hormone levels still be elevated even though I had a D&C nearly 7 weeks ago which is quite a while!!? I'm waiting on a blood test but that's in a few days and I'm dying to know what people's experiences are!

Re: Positive?!!!

  • Did your RE watch your HCG levels go back to zero?  Or have you taken a test before this test and gotten a stark negative (to prove there is no HCG still left)?  Fingers crossed it's the real deal.

  • No I got no after care whatsoever so I had no idea what my levels were doing! I'm not even sure there would be any HCG levels in my system from 7 weeks ago.., no I've not taken a pregnant test before this one so I don't know what to think until I get my blood test...
  • Wow. So this was a natural cycle? Congrats! It sounds like your BFP for real! A full cycle after a d&c there is no reason you should have any aberrant HCG left. That is very exciting. FX and keep us updated!!
  • Have you had a period since the d&c?  I've had 4 miscarriages, all around 8 weeks and d&c's, and it took about 6 weeks for my hcg to go to zero and my cycle to start again. (still trying for one to stick)  You were farther along than me and with twins so your hcg was probably much higher than mine so it might still be in your system??  But everybody's body metabolizes differently. I'm rooting for you!!!  Good luck!!!

  • Thanks so much ladies for the positive vibes! I haven't had a period at all since the D&C and wondered why it's been taking so long to come but the tiredness is identical to when I was pregnant so my head is saying noooo it's left over hormones but my body is telling me something very different. My husband has low motility and volume so the. Handed of us conceiving naturally were slim! I get a blood test early tomorrow then another on Monday to see if my levels are increasing! I'm hoping and praying for some good surprising news!
  • I miscarried at 9 weeks and there was no hcg after a few weeks. And I chose to miscarry at home on my own so it took a good 7-9 days to all clear. I would guess BFP! I hear a lot of people getting pregnant easily after a mc. FX. I would go to the dr!!!
  • Apparently my HCG level is 27 and progesterone is 1.5 no idea what that means it may be left overs?
  • Do they have you go in for s follow up? To see if the numbers go up or down?
  • Yeah I'm going in tomorrow to see what my levels are praying it goes up!

    Levels going down :-( not pregnant will have an ultrasound to determine if everything was removed... When will this end
  • @chelsbum I am so sorry it did not work out. My husband and I are in the same boat, low motility and volume, although the last IUI sample he had had greatly improved! I hope the next one sticks for you!!
