Hormone Level??? Plz Help So Worried Posted: 08-02-06 12:25pm
I did my blood test yesterday and the
doctor said I was still showing signs of
pregnancy since my hormone level was low.
The clinic where I did the abortion told
me it's ok since it takes 7-8 weeks for
hormones to get to their normal level. I
had an abortion three weeks ago so another
3-4 weeks till the level stabilizes.. Is
this situation ok? I'm so worried that
something is still wrong or maybe i'm
still pregnant...Plz help

The hcg levels can take quite a few weeks
to totally go away, which is why they tell
you not to take a hpt for a while after an
abortion.
If you still had pregnancy tissue in your
body, you would likely have a fever and
infection symptoms...
Did you have a surgical or medical
abortion?

I had a manual vacuum aspiration (mva)
since I was on the 6.5 week of pregnancy.

my girlfriend is going through the same
thing however her hormone level has
continued to rise and now they are telling
her that she must have the entire
procedure done again. My goodness how
could a mistake like this have happened.
Not only was it hard for her to go through
w8ith it the first time but to have to do
it a second time I swear she is losing her
mind. She had the surgical vaccume type
and is just lost now. I can understand
your fear.

With surgical abortion if you go to a
nicer clinic they could put her to sleep,
or use iv sedation so she would feel no
pain!
Was your g/f offered anesthesia to help
with the pain? Did you know that she
could find a clinic which would offer
this?
