I went to the re on June 11 and found out my baby had no heartbeat. They said it looked about a week behind. I have a d&c the following Monday. When I went back to the re 2 weeks ago I still had no af. He put me on 10 days of provera and I finished those Saturday. He also started talking about how the d&c may not have been complete and my body may still think I am pregnant. So fast forward to now, I still have no af and I took a test this morning and it still reads positive. I am waiting to call the re because they don't open until 8 and then I always have to leave a message. They checked my hcg while I was there 2 weeks ago and said they would call if anything wasn't normal and I haven't had a call yet. Any suggestions as to why no af and still a + test? I am absolutely freaking out now. THANKS!!

could you have gotten pregnant again?

I would ask for a new U/S right away. Good Luck

I had a miscarriage and a d&c a couple years ago. It took a couple months for me to get AF and my doc said it could take up to 6 months for AF to come. I never took a pregnancy test but I have heard that you can still get a positive for a few months after a mc. I do remember that my doctor did an u/s to make sure everything was gone a couple weeks after the d&c. I'd call your doctor and let them know what's going on. Good luck!

DEMAND an U/S and bloodwork TODAY! It's been long enough and either something is up with the miscarriage, or you are preggers again...either way, you need to know and your RE needs to be proactive!

OK, I guess there are 2 possibilities:

1. that your levels are still dropping or they missed some tissue during the d&c or

2. you managed to get pregnant on Provera!

Either way, I hope you get into the doctor ASAP. Please keep us updated.

HUGS!

I called the re. They checked my levels from last time and said they had gone down. I am going tomorrow and next week to have bloodwork done to make sure everything is still dropping. THanks a lot!!
