Hi everyone?

I just received my hcg levels for April 7, which was after I passed my baby but before I had the d & e. I was appx 12 weeks pregnant at the time of loss. I took a hpt on Tues 4/22 and it showed definitely positiv and again today but it was lighter. Neither were fmu. I had blood drawn today but I wont get those results til later tonight or tomorrow. My questions are:

Does anyone know how hcg's drop and can anyone share theirs of they know?

Will I ovulate before they drop?

I don't think you'll ovulate until all the HCG is out of your system.. but I'm not to sure.

I was only 5w and some days and started bleeding on April 4, by April 7 my levels were less then 5.

Not to sure if that helps you or not.

Hey, im sorry it is taking a while for you I dont know the rate they drop but i know that mine went from 981 down to 20 in 5 days. I had a natural m/c. I hope that helps. I dont think you can o until they are below 3.. or is it 5? I know it is something low like that.

I was 7w1d with my loss in august. It took until October for them to be below 5. I don't know why they took so long, but they did. I had a d&c also.

The first time I had bloodwork done on 2/6, my level was 32. I started bleeding the next day. By the time that I was done bleeding, I had a BFN on FRER.


I got bloodwork done on 4/18 and my levels were 31
On 4/21 they went down to 20 (the line was faint on FRER)
On 4/22, I started bleeding...

I do not believe that you will not ovulate until your body is no longer pregnant.

Hope this helps.

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I was only 5 weeks and the ept test came up positive on the day of the miscarriage and 2 days later there wasnt a sign...maybe because it was sooo early for me....Good luck!</span>
