I had a mc at 8 weeks (measured 6.5 weeks) on September 10 with our first. I bled for about a week. My doc has been having me get my blood work done every week to ensure my levels go all the way down, which it slowly has. On October 13 I started my period which lasted as long as mine always have (I'm like clockwork) 4.5 days period but my levels were still at a 10. A few days after my period stopped my levels were only at 7. (Doc says 5 is considered zero) I know my body pretty well and I always ovulate 12 or so days post the start of my period. And like clockwork, 12 days after my period started I had very clear signs of ovulation that's kinda hard to miss. The nurse called me and said it is not possible that I started my period and ovulated when my levels are just a 7 and not 5. But guys..... Aren't all bodies different? That's not much of a difference. And I know that it was my period. It followed a month after mc (No bleeding in between) and lasted the same amount of time as they always have and then I just ironically have signs of ovulation the same amount of time post period as I have for years. Is it really "impossible"?
Re: Did I or didn't I?
So yes it is very possible.
Here's an update...
Since I had a normal, regular AF (39 days post mc) and ovulation (though my nurse still says I couldn't have) DH and I decided to try. That was 11 days ago (so, 12 days post "possible" ovulation) They asked me two weeks ago when my hcg levels came back at 7 (this was 3 days before that ovulation) to come back in 2 weeks for another blood test. So yesterday at two weeks I went in and my levels came back at 15 (that's up from my last one) My doc and nurse aren't even entertaining the possibly I could be pregnant again. They said it's probably a "fluke" and to come back again Friday for another test and if my levels are still up then next week they want to give me an ultrasound to see if I have anything still retained from my MC two months ago. Ugh!!! I hate this. The nurse called back a little later after that call and asked if I was feeling weird like bleeding or nauseous (I wasn't) so she told me to let her know if I do and that was that for now. Today I'm very fatigued, queasy, headache and my back is sore for whatever reason. Also small pinches every now and then in my pelvic, lower ab region. Nothing major. Not painful. I think now my head is just going in circles with confusion and fear. Is this crazy or is it just me?
