High beta 2 weeks after D&C

[Anonymous]

Hoping someone has experienced this... I had a D&C exactly 2 weeks ago after miscarrying due to a blighted ovum. I’m starting to track my hcg back down so I can be cleared to do another FET. I went in today and I’m still above 2,800. Unfortunately this isn’t my first rodeo and I know this is abnormally high for two weeks out. Does this look like an instance of retained tissue? Has anyone dealt with this?

Slightly worrying that no one has experienced anything like this

Have they ruled out a molar pregnancy?

Also, it takes 4-6 weeks to return to normal, so don’t panic. I’m really sorry about your miscarriage. I had two plus a chemical pregnancy. Hugs.

I had this with a partial molar pregnancy. It took over 2 months to return to 0.

How high was your beta before the D&C, any idea?

Ectopic here, but it took nearly 3 months for my betas to return to zero. LOTS of bloodwork, several ultrasounds thrown in there, but nothing was ever seen. I was told it was unusual but not unheard of.

I had a blighted ovum and I'm still waiting for the results of the chromosomes but general pathology didn't reveal anything. Either way no one has mentioned it, but I have thought of it. I go for another follow up in a little bit (today) and I will bring it up. This is from IVF with ICSI so I understand that it's very unlikely, but I can't tell if that's just with a partial molar or what.

My beta two or three days prior was something like 35,000.

Thanks, PP. This is my 4th loss, one of them having been at 17 weeks and I have never experienced such a slow drop.

Oh that’s tough. One of mine was 12 weeks, but 17 would have been even more devastating. Take good care of yourself and I hope your levels return to normal soon. After my three losses, I did have two beautiful girls. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you PP... I really appreciate it.
