Just having one of those blue days. It just seems that this last miscarriage is dragging on (physically) forever. I went and had my weekly blood test last Friday. My HCG is still dropping very slowly. The nurse actually called me on Sunday to say it's now 73. It was 81 the week before so not exactly dropping as fast as would be liked. She was saying "well this is taking too long. We'll have to do something." So now I have yet another ultrasound and visit with my doctor tomorrow. I've been having a very small rusty discharge but nothing significant. At the same time, it's no fun sort of having a period for two months. Of course the biological clock is ticking loudly in my head....I'm not sure if we should try again and go through this heart break a fifth time. My doctor is telling me to wait another three months after I have a normal period. I'm feeling very frustrated.So here's my latest crazy thought. Do you think it is possible to ovulate when your HCG isn't at zero? I had the aching pelvic pain around the end of May and was fairly sure I was ovulating. I also had fairly normal discharge consistent with ovulation. Tne nurse said no I wasn't ovulating if my HCG wasn't zero. So I'm just wondering. What if I did ovulate? I'm wondering if that might be a possiblity to investigate. I have this pelvic pain when I'm pregnant. So is it possible my pituary gland is sending out signals to ovulate even though I'm pregnant. Is the estrogen level somehow interferring with pregancy hormones? I'm just thinking out loud and asking ''what if?" questions. They've never really checked my hormone levels. I was given progesterone as the doctoc said "to hedge her bets". I don't know. I guess I'm just rattled about this appointment tomorrow. I hope it's not me being shut down on every question and request. I sort of feel I'm sitting at a negoitiating table and I never gain anything. I guess hate the shoulder shrug and "well try again".

O.K more weird stuff. I\'m wondering how much effect the mind and emotions have on all of this. I actually had stopped having the rusty discharge for a few days and thought I was over it. Then I get the call from the nurse which sort of deflates me and viola...in the evening the rusty discharge is back. Maybe I just need to sleep ... I\'m getting paranoid.
Longing, I think they want to make sure you had a complete mc. Sometimes, when your HSG levels don\'t go down if the mc is not complete. I am praying this is not the case with you. I know how frustrating it is to be told wait three cycles. I\'m here for you!
I Hate doctors and nurses..I think the only one who really nows your body is yourself and whenever you want to try again u do..After what doctor and nurses did to be in my local area i would never go here again i trust no one...But sometimes people ovulate i think times when u are suppose to and sometimes i swear you ovulate when u least exspect it..I watch a ovulation calande and i got pregnant when i wasnt even ovulating but it was about 2 or 3 days off..
