Topic: Faint BFP!! After miscarriage Posted: 14 June 2010 at 9:55pm |
Hi All - I'm hoping that one of our super knowledgeable TTC'ers or those that have experienced miscarriage might know the answer.... CD13 today (from Ov following miscarriage) and can't believe it but actually did a test and got a faint but definate 2nd line on First Response!!
All excited, but also worried as I don't know that HCG went back to zero as I only did a few HCG blood tests following MC as was away for work. And then recognised I was getting Ov signs two weeks later and got a +ve OPK. So just presumed that HCG must be back to zero in order to have ovulated. But is this right?? Or can you Ov and still have HCG? Aargh  Not sure if should get excited or not. No sign of AF yet so guess that's a good sign
Just really don't know enough about HCG and how it effects body re Ovulating etc after miscarriage. Does anybody know?
Last HCG tests I had were around 19th & 21st May and it had fallen from 300 to 71, so presumed it was going down fine.

sounds good to me buttons!
you can get POS OPK's from HCG however.
I would wait a few more days and take another test and see if the lines get darkr coz that would mean HCG was on the rise again.
Best of luck chick!

Thanks Nic for the encouragement  I don't have anymore tests, but will definately do another after tomorrow if no sign of AF still. The +ve OPK i'm pretty sure was from Ov'ing as had all the physcial symptoms (that's what alerted me by surprise that I was Ov'ing just couple of weeks after our heartbreaking MC, plus had -ve OPK's for 3 days leading up, then +ve for 2 days.
So Fx'd
Wow can't believe you're already 28 weeks!! Time seems to have flown by

Oohhh Buttons that is sounding positive
You can definitely still have hcg in your system after a miscarriage even after ov'ing again. One of my miscarriages it took a long time for the hcg to come down and they made me do repeat bloods until it was at zero.
I guess if I were you I would get a couple of lots of bloods done then you would definitely know
I got pregnant on the very next cycle after my first miscarriage, I don't think you will be needing my little package I sent off to you yesterday lol

Buttons... that does sound very positive. I have read on one of my googles that it is easy to fall pregnant the cycle after a MC because some of the preggie hormones are in place already for pregnancy. However the opk may have picked up hcg or LH ... its a matter of wait and see..... FX big time for you

Thanks Appy & Shezzey  Yes, wait and see I guess it is  Something we're not so good at when TTC'ing huh.
If it does turn out to be a 'real' BFP Appy, I'll definately make sure the package is passed on to another CPP'er in need

We had a patient at work who got pregnant a couple of weeks after her m/c. I would have expected your level to be gone by now. Maybe best to see your Dr or midwife.

Thanks everyone, it's all been really helpful. (Feeling positive after your comment MrsMJD  )
Still no sign of AF... don't feel pregnant as such tho
But managed to sneak an extra Hcg BT in today, so guess that will give the answer over next days if I do another. Also brought couple of extra HPT's to see if result darkens in next days.
This waiting is terrible  But guess it's all positive unless AF decides to make an appearance.

Fingers crossed buttons  My HCG also went down to less than 5 within 24 hours of m/c so you would *think* any HCG in your system from your mc would be gone by now?

Unfourtunately my HCG took 6 weeks to go down after my mc (generally it halves every day) so fingers crossed that yours has gone down quick and that this is your BFP!!

Hey LadyBee
Doing okay  No sign of AF!! But given it's first one following MC, not sure if should be reading much into that or not (thought should be given I definately Ov'd as per norm, but who knows  )
Bit of a frustrating morn... POAS early this morn... but the test was dud and didn't work!! No lines at all. Phoned doctors for BT results earlier... but results not back yet... so the wait continues

Hey Bobsta - just got results back.... it's 35. So doesn't give me an answer until I get one done again tomorrow. I'm guessing though that it probably means I"m not as would have thought the level would be higher. But then again you never know

GL Buttons, my first hcg test was 37  And I also conceived first cycle after a mc (unfortunately it wasn't a sticky baby either but that was for other problems I had!) I so hope this is it for you babe! Looking forward to tomorrows test results!
