5 weeks 4 days since miscarriage and still positive pg tests
hi everyone, I suffered a mc at 9 weeks 5 days pregnant. I have been having my hcg's checked every week since the loss. I started at a level of 20477.1 when my baby still had a heart beat of 124, this was when I first started to spot. Went in 2 days later cause I started to more than spot and we couldnt find a heart beat and level was now 19947. miscarriage happened the next day. levels then dropped to 4958 two days after then 418 a week later then to 35.5 a week and a half after that. I waited two weeks to test again an just figured it should be 0 now right? Clearblue digital says pregnant. So I go back in to have hcgs checked again the next day and it is now 11.8. So I get it takes a while for the hormone levels to drop but really the last 35.5 took 17 days to drop to 11.5. Has anyone else had this happen? Im almost 6 weeks post miscarriage now and still no period and we are wanting so badly to try again. Oh and I should also mention we also dtd more than once. I know you are suppose to wait but we just couldnt help our selves so I guess if i O'd it may be possible but I really think its more than likely just taking a while to drop.

Sorry for your loss. :(
It is possible that you're pregnant again, or also possible that there was tissue left behind after the miscarriage ( I sure hope not though!) It happened to me after my first miscarriage at 13 weeks and took like 12 weeks to fully pass. I would go again to test the level .
With my loss at 9 weeks (baby only measured 6) I didn't test the hcg down but af returned 5 weeks later. Everyone is different, but with a loss that early , it shouldn't take so long .
I hope you get some answers! *Hugs*

First of all, let me say sorry for your loss. The emotional turmoil I went through was so difficult. I had a miscarriage on March 25 (11.5. Weeks) but baby measured at 7. Bleeding lasted for 4 weeks and hgc levels reach zero by May 5th. Didn't get my period til may 17th. Had to wait at least one normal cycle. I went to pregnancy loss clinic where they told me it is quite normal for hcg levels to take a while to get to zero, especially the last 10. I had to keep going to clinc until they were at zero.
It was painful waiting. I understand the impatience and pain you must be feeling. my cousin had miscarriage only lasted one week. So some are shorter, and others last longer. I hope this helps you out. Again, sorry for your loss.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Just an update. I finally got to zero and ended up getting my monthly 2 days ago. Yay!!! So I finally am starting to feel normal again and can start trying again soon. But it did take almost 8 weeks to get my cycle to start again after my miscarriage.
Again, thanks for your comments.
