Update from the doctor

I spoke with the nurse at my Ob's office yesterday and she still did not have my beta results from Saturday. She will probably call me today, but since I won't be home all day, I probably will not get the results until tomorrow.
She did say that it was unlikely that my numbers were less than 5 based on last weeks beta. When I asked about the bleeding, she said that it was a good thing that I began bleeding again, because if I didn't (with her estimating my betas) they would have to go in there and do a D&C. Luckily, the bleeding tapered off yesterday to just the brownish stuff.
I read on some website that in order for it to be considered a new cycle, you have to go 20 days without bleeding, before bleeding again. So who knows. I thought we might be inseming again at the end of July/beginning of August, but now it might be mid-to-late August, or even later. Whatever my body decides.
Today would have been our gender ultrasound. I have a full day planned outside of the house, and as of right now, I can't decide if that is a good thing or not so good.

You're such a trooper through all of this! I can't believe they don't have your betas back yet!

Be sure to continue to take care of yourself. xoxo

I am so sorry that you have been through so much! I think it is best to let your body heal and recover from the trauma and maybe wait until August at the earliest to try again. I sure hope that they do not have to do a D&C b/c you have already been through the ringer, to add to it would be salt in the wound. You have been so brave. I am not sure I would be able to get out of bed.

I didn't start a new cycle until 34 days after my m/c. I did have off and on bleeding for about 2-3 weeks after the m/c though. My beta's didn't return to normal until about a month after the m/c. Hope you are close to the end of the bleeds and that things get back to normal soon. xo

Thinking of you today. Sorry it has to be sooo long before you can try again.
