Pregnant again with residual HCG
I have been following my hcg trend down since my D&C on June 14th. Last Wednesday it was 5. My OB’s TTC recommendation was just to wait until I have period before we try again. I had sent a message asking if my HCG needed to be at 0 beforehand and no one responded to me. So when I had my period on July 23rd, so we jumped back into TTC, assuming it would take awhile. Yesterday I got a VVFL that has darkened today. I’m not 100% sure yet but I think this is the start of a new pregnancy. I had tested negative last Friday.
But my OB just sent a message asking if I can get another draw this week to make sure my levels go below 5. And now I am terrified that there is some danger to conceiving again with a HCG level of 5. I feel like I’ve done something wrong by TTC again, and now I’m anxious to tell my OB. Can anyone give some reassurance?
