first MC

Hi I had my first miscarriage and it's been a week. I have so many questions and Idk where to start as I've just been so sad but I thought I'd start here. It's been a week and I'm still testing positive but I finally finished bleeding. Is this normal?

First of all, I'm so sorry you are going through this! Second it definitely varies based on the person and how far along you were. I was at 8/9 weeks when I had my miscarriage and bled for just about a week. It took another week to test negative. Take care! 🫶

@Carin tysm for replying 🥹 ik there's prob a ton of repeated questions in here so I appreciate you taking the time i was 6 weeks so really early and your account tracks as I was expecting about 2 weeks to get back to "net neutral" ig w my system and waiting to ovulate again I just dunno what to trust anymore and dunno if I can trust my body anymore

Can see you’re in the US, but in the UK we’re told to re-test 3 weeks post miscarriage to check HCG has left our system, so perhaps give it another couple of weeks? I know it’s very easy to say, but try really hard to be kind to yourself x

oh ok! 3 weeks! thanks for the input and I'll really try 🥹

It can sometimes take longer for hormones to go down. With my first loss it took me two month for me to no longer test positive

@Olivia this is what I'm afraid of bc if I don't get my cycle back I can't try again 😞
