Saw this thread and thought it may be the one for me. Only problem may be the happy thoughts over the next few days but I'll give it a go!
First - if you don't mind - I'll share my experience....
Back on 14th Feb, discovered I was pregnant with DC1. We were over the moon. Have been married 2 yrs and always wanted 3 or 4 DC. All seemed to be going well, got the usual symptoms of ms, sore boobs, etc. Had 12 week scan on 11th April to find no heartbeat. I probably don't need to tell you ho we felt. Had ERPC on 16th April.
After 2 weeks of bleeding had stopped, we started ttc again although we didn't obsess about dates or anything. On 17th May I did a hpt as had been feeling a bit tired and weeing a bit more and I got a BFP. Didn't know whether it would be a true BFP after mc so did another one a week later and still got BFP. After a third BFP went to GP really concerned ERPC had been incomplete. She said wait a week and if still BFP to go back and that it was unlikely to be incomplete ERPC as I'd had no bleeding.
Sure enough a week later, another BFP so she sugested I went for a scan which I did this Wednesday. Scan was "inconclusive". Sonographer could see something but didn't know if it was "new pregnancy or retained product from mmc". Got sent to EPU for a HCG blood test and had to go back yesterday for a 2nd blood test.
When I went yesterday for second blood test I asked the nurse if they'd got the results from the first one. She looked and said "yes it's 2055". Just to be sure I asked her what that meant. She said "It means you are pregnant" I told her I couldn't work that out as if I'd had my 1st BFP on 17th May, I would be 7 weeks pg and that would be clear on the scan. She said "Oh, well maybe it is retained product then"!!!!
In the afternoon I phoned for the second lot of results and was told that the HCG levels had dropped and that it was likely to be retained product. The nurse said she would talk to the registrar about what to do next and then they'd phone me back. She phoned me back abut half an hour later and said that the registrar had decided that because my HCG levels were in the 000s but had dropped, they think it was likely to have been a new pregnancy which has miscarried again I have to go back in Monday for another blood test (not sure why??) and then go from there with potentially another ERPC middle to end of next week.
Well there, I've got it all out! Tbh, I do feel as if at least I know what is happening now but I just want to have just 1 dc!! (Am not v patient!!) Am also feeling a bit useless and don't want to keep having to put DH through all this.
Sorry for this v lengthy and not so happy post. If you'll let me join you, I promise to get happier.....
