MMC on 16/05/2012. Measured 6 weeks when I should have been 9 - but getting 3+ on CBD

Hi there, hope I am posting in the right place...but just in limbo right now (don't belong in a forum!)

Well I was found to have had a MMC at a recent scan, and now just beginning to come to terms with it. I have decided to wait it out and let nature take it's course - rather than have a D&C, but will be having the tab next Fri if nothing has happened by then.

Well I took another CBD test today and it still says pregnant 3+ so I guess my hormones are still up there...but they don't seem to be dropping. My bbs are still so so tender and I am still suffering with nausea and a slight bloat. Do your hcg levels drop before or during bleeding? This waiting game is awful-and nature is so cruel. I am actually dreading it. I lost the baby at 6 weeks (but should have been 10 weeks on Sunday coming)...so how much longer will my body hold a pregnancy? I would rather just get it over with...as I already feel empty.

Anyone going/gone through similar or have any advice please? Thanks.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a mmc with dates similar to yours. It took my 4 weeks to get a negative pregnancy test I mc naturally 4/5 days after my scan (physically not too bad at all) but it may take 2-3 weeks so I had a complete mc weeks before the hcg left my system. I also had more pregnancy symptoms afterwards than I'd had before . It's cruel and horrible but it WILL be over soon and you can start to grieve and move on. Wishing you all the best and be kind to yourself

PS Don't forget you can change your mind at any time if you decide you want to take the tabs sooner or even if you'd prefer a D&C, just give the hospital a ring and they'll fit you in as soon as you can. I think it makes waiting easier to know the option is there to hurry things along (for want of a better phrase) if you decide you can't be in limbo any longer. x
