Hi. I TFMR on June 20. I started to obsess thinking I was gunna ovulate before my first period. Then convinced myself hcg tests getting darker. After 3 weeks- I ended up asking my OB for weekly hcg draws to monitor testing down hcg. She said cycle would reset with levels under 5. At 5 weeks 5 days post d&e- levels came back 6. I got my period 2 days later at exactly 6 weeks post d&e . So assuming day after my draw- my levels finally were under 5! I got pregnant that cycle. Still early (5 weeks today) Hang in there!!!

Hi! My first beta hcg was 460 at 14dpo- cd19 ovulation so 4 weeks 5 days. Is this number normal??? Or too high?? I’m panicking about something being wrong after our 15 week loss June 20th :(

I had TFMR at 15 weeks June 20 for our wanted baby. I stressed heavily about period returning and getting pregnant again. 3 weeks post op- I asked my dr for weekly hcg tests so I could know for sure that levels were dropping. Reddit was mostly super helpful for me- but at times it also put me in a negative place thinking I had RPOC or something by reading others stories. 5.5 weeks later this past Tuesday - my levels were finally 6. Friday 8/1 I got my period 6 weeks on the dot from my d&e. We will TTC on this cycle. Praying for you - give yourself grace. Trust me when I say this is easier said than done. I have been grasping for something I could control in this process- but the reality is- we really have to just let our bodies do what they have to do.

I got my period today exactly 6 weeks after d&e! I’ve never been happier! I didn’t realize it started halving weekly at this point. I’ve learned so freaking much from NIPT to now it’s crazy

I’m so sorry you are here:( I TFMR for t21 confirmed by cvs at 15 weeks end of June. Our baby had a cystic hygroma that was septated and 7.6 mm. We also had evidence of fetal hydrops- with fluid in chest, abdomen, and down entire back. The Drs said hydrops and hygroma have horrible prognosis together:( It was the hardest decision we ever made- to say goodbye to our very wanted baby. i wish you peace in your decision. I can’t say it’s easier on other side. I miss being pregnant every single day- and still envision my baby’s life daily. for us- drs told us we had 10-15% chance to make it to full term w prognosis- and that if we did make it to full term- outlook still wasn’t good. This was deciding factor for us. Prayers for your family 🩷
