A little back story on me. I had a miscarriage from an anembryonic pregnancy on December 6th when I was 11 weeks. My period came back 6 weeks later and has been regular ever since. My hcg took a really long time to decrease. Then at the end of February, when my levels got to 8, they increased to 13 and then again to 20. My doctor had me do some bloodwork at the lab in March to make sure hcg wasn’t coming from retained tissue or a tumor. The tests came back negative and my hcg decreased to 10. My doctor said that I had something called a heterophilic antibody that was causing my body to look like it still had hcg when it really didn’t; therefore resulting in false positives in my blood tests.

In March I started spotting brown discharge a week after my period ended. As it turns out, I developed a cyst on my left ovary during my pregnancy that finally broke down and came out. Because of that, I ovulated later and my period came a little later than expected.

Because of what was going on, my husband and I really haven’t tried to conceive until we knew for sure everything was ok. I feel like my body is finally back to normal and hubby and I are ready to really try our hardest to get pregnant again. But I can’t shake the feeling of worry and nervousness. I know that won’t be good for my body to try and conceive. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Prayers and baby dust to all of us and our hopeful January babies!
