How high were your levels when you miscarried? I just had a blighted ovum diagnosed at 8 wks 2 days, my hCG was 89,000 at the time. Exactly four weeks later it has dropped to 19.2. I just got a positive OPK today, but I am finally getting a negative pregnancy test. Maybe you should have a quantitative hcG test done at the doctors to see where your at, and then they can take it again in a week. If it goes up, it could be a new pregnancy. I have read that sometimes not all of the tissue comes out and retained tissue can cause your hcG to remain elevated. Have you been to the doctor for follow up care?

I agree I had a blight ovum on Dec 5th my HCG level was 89.50 the first time then 40.1 when I miscarried. I'm getting slightly negative pregnancy tests but I also got a positive opk today. What the doctor told me is if there is any tissue left you will not ov but who knows what could happen if its very little tissue. I agree that you might want to take another HCG Quant to see what your level is. My doctor called me today to have me come in for another HCG quant and ultrasound from the one I had last week. I hope to find out more tomorrow.

Okay I went to the doctor she explained that as long as our HCG levels are above 0 you won't ov. So I'm just as frustrated my last test it went up to 60 instead of going down. Geez!
