How long did it take.......
For you to get a negative pregnancy test? It's been nearly two weeks since I passed my baby naturally after discovering I had a MMC. I had an appointment to go back to EPAC this morning to have a pregnancy test done and it is still positive. So I've now got to go back next friday to have another one done, then if that's still positive I may need another scan to see if all the tissues from pregnancy have gone etc. It is just such a long process! and I can't seem to be able to move on, as it just keeps being dragged out
I was so naive to think you miscarried and then everything went back to "normal"
So if any of you lovely ladies have any advice I would appreciate it

I don't know if we have to Hun but it's just what my local EPAC do? Maybe a good idea to do one though, especially if you are trying straight away because nurse at epac said if you get a negative pregnancy test and then start trying and then get a positive test you know it's a new pregnancy. Whereas if u never do one and get a positive u might think it's new pregnancy when it could be from MC still. Does that make sense? But I guess it's not necessary otherwise they would have done one for u? Xxxxxx
I guess I might still have a couple of weeks to wait. I was meant to be 11 weeks when I had my scan but baby only measuring 5-6 weeks but I guess my body may have continued to make HCG as I didn't miscarry untill 11 weeks? I just want to be able to close that chapter and move on, although I'll obviously never forget.
Thanks Hun xxxxx
So anyway I think it took me about 3 weeks after D&C to get a negative and I think thats about average.
Good luck xxx
As I have said before, this is the back to front forum as we want -ives and af to appear ;\)
Hope everything sorts itself out for you
I have got to ring them when I get my negative result and then I can be officially discharged back to GP.
I wonder why I had no aftercare.. I have not had any complications though. maybe its because my miscarriage was spontaneous and all blood etc left me while I was in hospital overnight. hmmm
well Im just going to take this as a good thing and just keep trying. going to test myself in 4-5 weeks and see what happens, the midwife told me to test at 6 weeks. eeks
