period after a chemical pregnancy

[Tryingx]

hi all

i had a mc at 17 weeks at teh end of oct. my first af arrived at the beginning of december. on new years day, i got 10 faint positives on only first response tests and 5 negative tests over the course of 3 days before my period might have been due. i never ever got a positive on less sensitive tests such as clearblue digi. i went to hospital on the third day when i finally got a negative, and they sed my womb has nothing except the beginnings of a period and my hcg levels were now 5. im convinced that teh 10 faint positive first responses 2 days earlier means my levels were around 12 (as first responses test at around 12.5) but less than 20 (as the other less sensitive tests didnt detect hcg). im sure that by the time that 3 days had passed and my bloods were taken, my levels had dropped from 12ish to 5ish...(i read that hcg levels halve every 1.5 days)

this is a question to anyonelse that has experienced a very very very early chemical preg. how soon after your negative test did u get your period? and should i be worried that i have had a chemical preg (albeit so early on) after my mc?

So sorry to hear about your loss! A good friend of mine had a 2nd trimester loss with twins and she was devastated. I haven't had an early loss but I didn't want to read and run, from the reading I've done it does sound like a chemical pregnancy but I have no idea how long it takes to get AF after a chemical pregnancy.
