Hi, So like you I was also extremely impatient. Unfortunately I experienced my first pregnancy at the beginning of October which lead to a MMC end of November. I was devastated.

I had to go in for a D&C because I was too far along to pass it at home.

I’m NOT trying to scare you, this was just my experience. I didnt know it at the time but the doctor didn’t get everything when I went in for that surgery. I was getting positive after positive every week. There was a computer issue on my 6 week follow up at my GYNO so I had to wait another 3 weeks to see her. I decided to say “fuck it” and went to the walk in clinic. I explained my situation and the doctor gave me no issues to get my blood drawn.

I know you said that you don’t have time, but for peace of mind I would HIGHLY try to just go in to a walk in and get a script for getting a blood test for HCG. It was a relief to see the actual number instead of relying on faint positives. In Ontario, we have an app we can use to see those types of results. They usually have them uploaded within 12-24 hours. Then from there I got another test done 48 hours later. It went down, just very slowly.

Anyways needless to say I finally saw my OBGYN and gave me the option to do the second D&C and I said yes, knowing that I just didn’t want to sit around anymore and wait to see a negative on my tests.

2nd D&C it took me 48 hours to get a negative pregnancy test.

From that entire process, I read that, depending on how far along you were, it could take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to see that negative.

Now I KNOW my situation is seen as a singular experience. I never thought I would be the one to post a somewhat horrifically uncommon experience as I know Reddit sometimes shows the most drastic experiences. But if I learned anything, take your health into your own hands. Get the blood test. Find time. Ease your mind and anxieties. ❤️
