I had a miscarriage last month and it was really hard. Now im not sure when a test will actually show correct result because of the hormones still being there. thoda scared and confused, anyone been through this?
Oh, I'm so sorry you went through that. It's really tough. After a miscarriage, it's tricky because your hormones take time to normalize. You should definitely follow your doctor's advice on when your hCG levels are back to normal, and when it's safe to try again. That way you don't get confused results.
Dekho, after a miscarriage, your body needs time to reset. Your HCG levels need to come down to zero first, otherwise, you'll get false positives. Best to wait for your first proper period after the miscarriage, and then test after that if you miss the next one. But honestly, talk to your gynac, don't guess.
This is a very sensitive time, please be gentle with yourself. After a miscarriage, hCG levels can linger for a while, so a test might show positive even if you're not pregnant. Your doctor will likely monitor your hCG down to zero. It's best to discuss with your gynac when to start trying again and when to test.
Ugh, after going through something like that, you just want clear answers. But your body will still have HCG from the previous pregnancy, so you could get confusing results. My gynac strictly said wait until my period comes back properly. So, yeah, patience is the key, unfortunately.
This is such a difficult question, I can only imagine what you're going through. I'm just in my second trimester, but I've heard that your HCG levels need to go down completely after a miscarriage before you can trust a new test. Did anyone else get very clear guidance from their doctor on this?
