What's a complete m/c?
| Sun, 09-07-2003 - 9:12pm |
I just recently had a m/c. Some people who have responded to my posts have asked if it was a complete m/c. How do you know? I've never seen a doctor. I just had a beta HcG test that was low and another one 48 hours later that was decreasing. The nurse told me that since I had bleeding and my levels were decreasing that I had m/c. So, how do I know if it's complete or not? What's that mean? I started bleeding on Friday 8/29 and stopped bleeding Tuesday 9/2. First day was heavy but the other days were just very spotty. I have had no blood since Tuesday, but on Friday I stilled showed HcG levels and prog levels in my blood work. I've also still had some mild cramping but no blood. The nurse told me to get my blood tested again next week to be sure the levels are gone. So, does that mean I've had a complete m/c? If not, how will I know? Will the doctor eventually want to see me to make sure the m/c was complete?
