Good morning ladies,

I've just found out my HCG is decreasing. I am/was 4 weeks PG. When do I expect to see it come out? How long do I have to wait to TTC again?

It will be my first M/C.

Hi There,

I am so sorry for your loss. M/c's , no matter when they ocurr are sad and disappointing.

I'm not an expert, and what I've learned is that everybodies body works differently. But with my chemical preg. / early miscarriage(4wks/6 days.) I had AF/MC come with in 24 hours or so. I was temping and saw my temps plummet. So I knew AF/MC was just 24 hours away, at the most. For you it may be different. But I hope I was able to shed a little light for you. You may want to approach your Dr. about it. I hope you and your family will feel better soon. Marcy

Dear wishabb,

What you had is called a chemical pregnancy. Depending on what your levels are, you should get af 1-2 days. The 2 days before my af hcg was 12. A chem. pg is when the egg was fertilized but af comes a few days later. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had one in May and 1 2 weeks ago. It's so disappointing. Just know that it is EXTREMELY common.

Feel Good!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just had an early m/c the end of August. You can expect everything to come out pretty quickly and your hormone levels to go down. I think it took about a week for my levels to get below pregnancy level. My doc said that there isn't any reason to not start trying again right away. The only thing you need to make sure of is that your levels are down to nothing. I read somewhere where you wont ovulate until that happens anyway. In my case, I ovulated right after they went down. I took my last blood test on a Monday, got the results of 2.5 on Tuesday, and ovulated on Wednesday. It all happened very quickly, at least for me it did. So, if you need some time to take all this in, you might want to skip a month.

Good luck to you

Susan
