How long after an abortion or miscarriage/d&c can you expect to test positive on a pregnancy test?

Question

Im not asking how long to wait to try...Im wondering how long HCG levels are in your body and registering on a home pregnancy test after a procedure.

Answer 1

You will still test positive for up to 7 days, around the 10th day HCG level will be have dropped enough so that you will get negative test results.

Answer 2

2-3 cycles after

Answer 3

They recommend you to wait at least a year for your body to recover...but we were pregnant again 2 months after we miscarried and everything was/is fine!

Answer 4

I have heard it takes around 10 days for the hormone to be out of your system.

Answer 5

I too just had a d&c and they said the hcg levels have to get down to zero before you could get pregnant again. They also told me to wait 6 weeks to try again and 2 weeks to have s*x again.   When I go for my follow up visit I am going to ask them to give me another blood test to make sure that they are down to zero.  

Answer 6

After my miscarriage and d&c I was told that I could start trying again after I got my first period (4 - 6 weeks after the d&c), just to let my body go through one normal cycle. The doctors said it is safe to start trying again this early - there is no need to wait months or a year (I asked these questions because I knew I wanted to start trying again soon afterwards). However, the d&c left my hormones way out of wack and I experienced anovulatory cycles for a while. I had my D&C at the end of July last year, and I got pregnant mid-april this year. I am now 20 weeks along with a healthy baby. My partner was away from dec 07 - feb 08, so there was 3 months we didn't try. I think once your body returns to it's normal cycle you will be able to concieve again, without complications.

Ohhh....OK. I think that varies from person to person. I wouldn't say for much more than a couple of weeks (maximum). After my D&C I noticed my b*****s shrink back to their normal size and stop being sore after 2 days - indicating the HCG hormone really quickly leaving my body.
