Post-MC Questions
If you don't mind sharing:
1. How far along were you when you MC?
2. Did you have a natural MC or a D&C?
3. When did you stop bleeding?
4. How long after MC/D&C did your HCG levels return to 0?
5. How long after MC/D&C did you get AF?
6. When did you try again? How long did it take to get pregnant?
7. Did you go for any testing? (you or the baby). How long did that take?
I had a natural mc 12 days ago at 7w (after seeing a heartbeat). I bled for 5 days after passing the baby, spotted for 2 days, and am thankfully done bleeding. Still waiting for HCG to go down and for testing results...
Edit: I also had a chemical in June. BFP at 12dpo, but the test was lighter the next day. 4 days after my BFP my HCG had dropped to 11. I started AF the day after that. We got pregnant 2 cycles later but as mentioned above, we MC again

If you don't mind sharing:
1. How far along were you when you MC?
** I was 6 & 1/2 weeks (and then a chem)
2. Did you have a natural MC or a D&C?
** Natural MC
3. When did you stop bleeding?
** Started bleeding AFTER about a week of spotting at around the 7 week mark. I bled for about a week, then spotting for another few days.
4. How long after MC/D&C did your HCG levels return to 0?
** Levels returned to 0 (under 10 per my doc's recommendation) about 3 & 1/2 weeks later.
5. How long after MC/D&C did you get AF?
** I had a normal 31 day cycle that month, which was from the date that I began BLEEDING (not spotting) and the day that I realized I passed most of the tissue.
6. When did you try again? How long did it take to get pregnant?
** Took one month off, next month tried and nothing, the following month I got preggo but it ended in a chem - it was a VERY weird cycle too, I implanted super late that cycle (didn't get my BFP until about 16 dpo) and I think it was mainly because I was trying way too soon still.
7. Did you go for any testing? (you or the baby). How long did that take?
** Have not gone for any testing yet - I am changing OB's and just had a change in insurance so I want to get settled in that route first. I have to add that this is all still about just 5 months after going off BC, so I have no idea what impact that's been having on this. I'm hoping that a new OB can get some info for me. I have since learned that I have a long family history of miscarriages and difficulty, so I'm guessing that there might be some hormonal deficiency - which my first OB should have been at the very least been testing for progesterone but she wasn't.
