How on earth can I just wait for my period if my body is still riddled with HCG

[Suprima]

Struggling to understand this logic. No one has explained this to me.

I’m 5 weeks post Misoprostol after a MMC at 9 weeks.

EPU has scanned me, retained products but don’t meet the threshold so they are refusing to do anything despite my terrible mental health.

I have just been told to wait for my period- but how the actual fuck do I have a period if my body is still pregnant?

I don’t understand.

Carrying fetal tissue is utterly horrific.

I wish it was a bad dream. I don’t want to live at the moment. I want it all to stop

I don’t understand “wait for your period”

How do I can I have a period?

Does my body absorb the tissue? Does the HCG just lose potency as the tissue decays? What is the science?

Hi, I'm currently in a similar position to you - had MMC and medicated. My HCG levels have somewhat dropped off. I still see a very faint line and I'm on week 4 since the medication now.
I'm not doctor but what I assume will happen is you will
Get a lining build up naturally even though u have HCG ( though I don't know - has it been measured over time to make sure it's coming down??) I assume if they see it is coming down a period will eventually occur, and I would
Think they don't want to go down the surgical route if not 'enough' pregnancy is left as it's invasive and more trauma?

I'm so sorry you're going through this and very sorry for your loss too x I'm not sure I've helped but know you're not alone x

Hi,
The consultant told me the HGG level in your system is not enough to support a pregnancy and not enough to suppress your period.
I'm sorry x

The hcg dwindles over time. It can take time even if you have nothing retained- I had zero retained and took me 10 weeks to have a period after ERPC
