I think my HCG took quite a while to return to 0 after D&Cs - I know both cycles were at least 45 days. It's crap, but quite normal I think.

Thanks Liltuss, - Do you know if you got AF as soon as your hcg came back to zero? My next BT is not for 2 weeks and since my hcg went from 150 to 32 in 2 weeks, It might take less than that to get back to zero from 32, and a proper AF. If D&C was CD1, I'm on CD36 at the moment, so here's hoping!

Hi Everyone

Hi girls

Luci Hope you've been able to relax after the wedding and departure of ILs and to get your house tidied up - house guests can be a lot of work! Hope that your cycle gets sorted out soon and you get AF

Jane Hoping for some good news...

Chloe how are you going?

Em do you have BT soon? Waiting eagerly for good news

Liltuss hope you're doing well, and your DS is feeding and sleeping well

Hi to everyone else

AFM - began to feel worse after EPU. The second morning, I woke up to a lot of pain and a gigantically swollen abdomen. DH had to get a pair of my old maternity pants i wore with DD down from the cupboard as none of my other clothes fit. I managed to drive myself into the clinic for some tests. The nurses were good, and quite sympathetic about how I looked and felt. Anyway, went home after that, but after a couple of hours I couldn't breathe and started getting pains in my upper abdomen and chest, so got taken to hospital. When I got there, the staff asked me how many more weeks until the baby would be born I had to tell them I wasn't pg, just had EPU. So after some more tests, pain killers and IV fluids, I was released home. All came back clear for OHSS, but still looked like a blimp, and had put on 4kg overnight.

Tummy has gone down enough to wear normal clothes again, but am still in enough pain to need medication, so don't know if transfer will go ahead. Have to phone the clinic tomorrow morning.

ETA: I feel bad - DD hasn't had a capable mum in quite a few days now, and my own mum and dad have been helping out with a lot more than usual (and they already willingly do heaps)

Oh spring so sorry to hear about your OHSS ... They probably told you to drink lots of fluid plus protein is very good as well. Don't worry too much if transfer is postponed - IMO it's much better to have the uterus in a "natural" state.

Luci I didn't know my Hcg levels when af came. I'm not sure if you can have any level of Hcg and still get af .... but my FS always made me wait another full cycle after D&C anyway so by the time I could cycle again it was 2 cycles later ifkwym. So, i had af around day 45 (and yes D&C is counts as day 1) then had to wait another af before FET 15 days later or thereabouts. I was always tested before any cycle but obviously Hcg was well and truly gone by the time the transfer came round.
