I had an ERPC on 29th January but I'm still testing positive on a pregnancy test. I've been back to the EPU and had a scan, which apparently showed that my uterus was clear (my main worry was that they had missed something and I would have to go through the whole thing again). They've taken bloods which on 22/2 were 573 and on 24/2 were 439. I've had more blood taken today and am waiting for the results.
I haven't seen the doctor since the scan but he has apparently said that he wants my bloods to be monitored.
I'm just wondering whether it's medically significant that my bloods are dropping so slowly. This was my 4th MC the first one was a blighted ovum at 10 weeks, the second was at 5 weeks, the third at around 6 weeks and this one was another blighted ovum at 9+5.
I get pregnant very quickly (especially considering my age - 43) but it feels as if my body isn't at all choosy and wants to hang on to a pregnancy even if it's not healthy. I may be reading much more into this and it may just be a question of some people's levels drop more slowly than others and I'll mention it to the recurrent miscarriage clinic when I eventually get an appointment but I wondered whether anyone had any ideas.
