I started my miscarriage 4 May. I was told my HCG was at 800. Two weeks later it was well over 300 and now over 130. I am in and out of doctors because that is how the military is. I was seeing a doc for my pregnancy and once I found out that I was going to miscarry I immediately went to a specialists. I am continually getting the run around over the past couple of years. I had started my period and was anxious to start fertility. I had realized that I didn't hear back on my last lab, so I took several HPT where they showed faint but yet positive readings. That's when a new doctor received my phone message and reviewed my record and was concerned that over 4 weeks I have not gone from 800 to 0 an stated I could not start fertility. He was also concerned that my miscarriage was still having residual tissue or even possibly misdiagnosed to be maybe even a mole pregnancy. I understand that I may have tissue and maybe in need of a DNC. I guess I am wondering if I could be pregnant again? How could I know if I had a mole pregnancy? I saw my baby's sac. It was dark and round and had no appearances of grape or there was no mention of an abnormal developing fetus, does that mean its not a mole pregnancy? Do you think my new doctor just wants to verify my stats? I am so aggravated and at a loss. They are the doctors that say stress is a huge factor in not conceiving... yet here I am 2.5 yrs trying to conceive and now this. I am a month past my miscarriage and today I find out that old news is still the new news. I feel like I am going to relive this miscarriage all over again.

I was just looking this up on the internet about pregnancy and HCG levels, they say that after about 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage the levels should be below 5 but they also say it depends on certain factors also like unexpected miscarriage, D+C, abortion and how high levels were before your loss, so I would think that after 4 weeks of your loss that its understandable about hcg levels still. I was under Google and searched hcg blood tests and that's where I read about it. I hope this helped you out a little, and I am so sorry about you loss!

Thank you so much. I finally got a doctor that was extremely concerned with my lab work. He freaked me out and wanted to an ultra sound for 2 reasons. 1. To make sure I had passed everything naturally. 2. He was worried my miscarried was misdiagnosed and wanted to ensure that it was not a mole pregnancy, this being the worst of the two. Well I had my ultra sound yesterday and a mass was found. They believe it to be left over tissue and blood clots from my miscarriage. I have zero pain tolerance and a fear of doctors. I have never been though any kind of surgery in my life and with my husband currently deployed I was completely overwhelmed. Luckily I have the best friends in the world. They took care of my daughter for the evening and today. And 2 others took me to the hospital. I was so sad and could not stop crying... I felt like I was losing my baby all over again and I was so scared of the procedure. Luckily my crazy friends had me laughing hysterically before and after the DNC. We have known each other for years so we were laughing about old times. By the time the doctors showed up they even had a good laugh. I guess I can just be grateful for my daughter I already have and the friends that really want the best for me. They really took up the responsibilities of my family since they are so far away. I couldn't have done it without them. As far as my DNC goes. I am less than 24hrs past my procedure and doing well. My little girl is back home with me. We plan on hanging out all week, sleeping, and watching tons of cartoons. I hope to have another baby really soon... I will keep you guys posted!
