Left over HCG or new pregnancy?
Hi guys, so my baby stopped growing at 10 weeks (we got 3 opinions - no one could find heartbeat) and we found out on 3/16. (First pregnancy)
We did two rounds of cytotec and eventually had to do a d&c; which was done 4/6.
I never had my blood checked but finally after the d&c; my pregnancy tests were fading (they weren’t after any round of cytotec)
These FIRST TWO tests are the last tests I took and we were not sexually active again yet (waiting the 2 weeks post D&C;) since it was almost negative figured it’s fine to stop testing. We became sexually active again on 4/20.
I got my first period on April 26-29. It was somewhat light and mostly spotting after the first day (I figured since everything was scraped out earlier that month) but I had full on cramps and bloat like my normal period.
Fast forward to now, I’ve been feeling SO tired and just slightly almost pregnant ? but keep brushing the idea off because we have been pulling out (it’s worked for me for 10 years) but I cant shake the feeling that anything is possible and they claim you’re more fertile after a MC.
So i woke up and took a test and there is a light light line. I would think it’s an evap but there is slight color. Since I already bled after my D&C; and got my period do you think this may be a new pregnancy? Or just left over HCG? We were pulling out after all.
So, thoughts?
(We we’re planning to start TTC after my next cycle which would be the recommended 2 periods per doctor)
