Next Steps?

Question

Ok, so I had my D&C on Friday to remove my blighted ovum. I feel pretty good! I haven't bled since Saturday and next to no cramps.

Is it too soon to start working out? I am overweight and want to get a jump on weightloss before I get pregnant again.

Also, I am still using the Glow nurture App...do I go back to using the regular glow app since I'll need to track my periods again?

I am also still getting positive pregnancy test. How long until the pregnancy hormones leave my system?

Answer

You can start exercising 2 weeks after the procedure. It takes 6 weeks for your hcg levels to be low enough to turn up negative on a pregnancy test -- I work at an abortion clinic so I know the after care instructions like the back of my hand 😊

Answer

I got my negative via digital 17 days after, I took a non digital at 15 days and it was barely positive. 
3 weeks today from d and c, doc said I could get my period anywhere from 3-6 weeks so currently waiting.

I started exercising at 2 weeks after, I had a lot of brown spotting the second week after d&c.

Answer

I am so sorry for your loss. They say you should start using Glow again with your next AF, but I always log my MC as the first period. I have been lucky to be quite regular following MCs. Not everyone is and I am sure that is why they say to wait until your first AF. Everyone and every MC is different in regards to how quickly your levels drop. If the D&C was successful I wouldn't think it would take that long, but I am not 100% sure because I have only ever done it naturally before. Mine usually take a week or two to drop low enough for a test to show up negative. Xx
