The last ob I went to discovered I had persistent hcg do to a miscarriage. I still wasn't getting any results from ob, so I decided to go see a RE. RE suggested to have a sonohysterogram since I still had hcg in my system. Sure enough when the doctor went inside of the uterus I had left over tissue from the miscarriage from 5 yrs ago! Unbelievable!!! Had surgery on December 12, 2008 and after the surgery never again got a period.
