No period 7 weeks after miscarriage - High HCG at time of D&E
Hello!
Today I am 7 weeks out from my D&E. The pregnancy was lost at 14 weeks and due to a chromosome condition had extremely high hCG, the day of surgery it was 108,000. I have gone back a few times and my ECG is declining, just slow slowly at the end. For example, it took about five days to go from 23 to 10, but they aren’t concerned.
I go in next week at the eight week mark for an ultrasound assuming my period still doesn’t come to see what’s going on. I haven’t had any cramping, additional bleeding, or scary symptoms. I’m wondering if it’s just taking so long because my levels were so extremely high?
I had a lost years ago at eight weeks that I passed naturally and I got my period like two weeks later, so this is very different for me. Here’s my timeline.
D&E: 2/17
Post-Surgery bleeding: 2/17-2/27
Dry zone: 2/27-3/3
Brown spotting 3/3-3/13
Nothing since! It’s 4/9
Blood tests:
2/18: 108,931
3/24: 23
4/2: 10
I go through phases where I’m cramping like I think I’m about to get my period and then it doesn’t come…just want to hear how long it took others and what I can expect the doctor to suggest if no period by 8 weeks.
Thanks all 🌈
