Its been over 2 weeks since my miscarriage and im still getting positive pregnancy tests... very faint lines, but still there... Its been 17days since i m/c... i stopped bleeding about 9 days ago... i would have expected all the hcg to have left by now... i was gonna try using ovulations tests but i only seem to be getting a faint line on them too... i doubt i will even ovulate now if i still have postive pregnancy tests... does anyone know how long for the HCG to be completly gone... i was 10wks pregnant...

Hi sorry for your loss, my midwife told me I need to wait for 3 weeks to take a preg test as the hormones can stay in your body for over 2 weeks and therefore would still show positive on a test, hope that helps

I'm sorry I'm not really sure myself. Can you call your doctor and ask? So sorry you are having to go through this

I had my m/c 6 days ago, the midwife took bloods that day and rang me the following morning saying I had dropped from the hormones of a 8 and half week pregnancy to that of a five and half weeks pregnancy, this was 2 hours after the main lose.

I go back in the morning for another blood test as she cant discharge my notes untill levels are back to normal, I will ask when I'm there and let you know.

I tested on saturday just to see what it said and I got a positive, very cruel

Even though this was my 5th i never went to the hospital before only the gp and they never did any tests etc.

Sorry I cant be of more help, but I will definatly ask for you.

Sorry for you lose hun

Hi shel... thanks... Sorry for your loss ... yeah it is very cruel to still be seeing a BFP and knowing your not pregnant My midwife didnt do bloods at all for HCG... only bloods for hemaglobin when i had heavy bleeding

Hi

Midwife said it really does depend on the person but in general its 2 to 3 weeks.

It will interfere with the ovulation tests and most periods come back 4 to 6 weeks after the m/c so ovulation could be up to 2 weeks late.

I hope this helps

Shel.. Thank you very much for asking your midwife... How was your hcg level today ?

Shel

I dont know untill the results come in tonight/tomorrow, check out my new thread I just posted.

no problem for asking, I needed to know for myself, I never bothered to go to the hospital before so never knew myself.

how are you feeling now?

Chalrhow

Hi...

Im feeling fine physically... emotionally im a mess.. hoping both our levels go down quick... some days im desperate to get back to ttc... other days im terrified of the thought incase the same happens again !

I would like to know my hcg level and make sure its going down but i wasnt even offered blood tests... let me know how you get on tonight/tomorrow... i checked your other post... i would have been so so angry if i found out my m/c could have been prevented... i would have to take it up with the doctor who refused the medication
