Hi
So long story short, I had a mc in late March this year and managed to get pregnant again before a period arrived. Sadly, we also lost that baby and it was a mmc this time. I had surgical management in early June and have been having blood tests to monitor my hcg as it has been dropping slowly.
On 17 July I started bleeding and thought it was finally my period returning. The bleeding was really light but did last about 6 days on and off. I had blood tests on 20 July and was told my hcg was now below 20. I was dismissed from the EPU and told to test in 2 weeks and if it wasn't negative I'd have to return. (I had a scan for retained product 3 weeks after the mmc and no retained product and hcg slowly falling since then).
I did a pregnancy test on 24 July out of curiosity because the tests say it only detects above 25 and I got the slightest faint line. I tested again just now, again out of curiosity and the line seems to be a little darker. Me and my partner had unprotected sex only once about a week before the bleeding started. It was a bit of an accident with the condom but thought the chances of pregnancy were low so have thought no more about it.
Now I'm confused as I've heard so many different things - the bleeding will be your period, the bleeding can't be a period whilst you still have hcg, you can't ovulate whilst you till have hcg etc... it seems no one in the internet agrees on this subject. I'm also confused as I seem to have had a period and although the bleeding was light, it seemed too heavy and long for implantation.
Long shot I know, but anyone got any advice?
