We were suppose to wait 1 - 2 cycles before TTC.
Well I just lost my baby on July 20th .. Had D&C that day. I have been bleeding/spotting off and on ever since.
I got my test results back this morning with my updated HCG levels and it was 68. On July 27th it was 1200 something.

My husband and I hadn't had intercourse since June because he is uncomfortable having sex while I am pregnant.
So finally this morning it just happened.
Well, we haven't had protection in the home in a long long time.
So before I know it ... it's too late. and neither of us really said anything. Well I did.. I said we were suppose to use protection or your should have pulled out.
Well i would assume since i am still showing hcg levels I can't conceive right now.

I want to be pregnant again but I dont want it to be too soon and not stick.


Did I really mess up?

Made a post in Pregnancy loss too...


Thanks girls.

I don't think you did something bad. My fiance and I did the same thing we were suppose and we didnt. We just made sure we just didn't do it that often. I think that we may have did it once or twice. I think I was scared about causing an infection. Well maybe someone else can be more help.

I might be wrong, I only had ectopics removed by laparascopy, but I think infection is the main risk. They want to see your HCG's go down all the way bc if they don't then there's still some tissue left, which all by itself could cause an infection, but add something else to the mix . . . anyway I think you're fine since your #'s have been going down at a good rate. A friend of mine didn't even go back to the dr after her #'s dropped to the 60's as her HCG levels went down at about the same rate as yours.
Maybe just watch for signs of anything unusual for the next few days. Good luck!!

To be honest that is a concern of mine as well. Infection. I hate to worry but I do....

You should be ok. When I went to my follow up the did a pap and everything and found nothing. Just got be careful. I know that's hard because I was on restrict because the said my pregnacy was high risk. So we didn't do anything for almost 2 months. Hopefully nothing bad is going to happen. Just be careful.

I think your fine hun, I believe your levels need to be down to 0 before you will O again. Dont feel bad, if your ready to TTC again already I say go for it.

I hate to admit this but we had sex two days after my D&C. I just didn't care about much of anything except feeling human again. I felt so numb emotionally I just wanted to feel something...anything. I know I was risking infection and after that one time we didn't do it again till the bleeding was gone. I worried everyday about infection until I had my two week check-up and everything looked okay.

I just wanted to let you know you are not alone

Thanks. I am not flowing.. just occassional brown with cm. yesterday didnt have anything all day. This morning first thing noticed what I would have called EWCM with brown tinge.
SO hopefully the spotting is about over!
I am going again today to check my hcg level. I was suppose to wait a week but i want to see how far it goes down in a few days.
I have my appointment monday so we'll do the sono and check things out.. Figure with 5 days if I were to get an infection, then something would show.. maybe.
I think I am fine.



I am going to have a party when they finally hit 0 so that I can start a new cycle!
