When will my tests go negative again?!

I found out I was pregnant on 5th March. It was a surprise, so not completely clear on dates, but I think it must have been pretty early (4ish weeks) given the following….

I started bleeding on the 9th March - it was two days fairly heavy bleeding, but basically period-like (no clots or pain), and had pretty much disappeared by the 11th. However, I was still getting positive tests and because I wasn’t sure on dates, the GP referred me to the EPU, and on 14th March I had an internal scan and my first bloods taken. The scan showed no evidence of pregnancy and initial bloods showed 43, second bloods taken on the 16th showed 27, which all points towards it having been very early pregnancy rather than MMC or whatever…

But it’s now been 2 weeks since my 2 day bleed, a week since my HCG levels were apparently only 27 and I’m still getting pregnancy tests like this…

When can I expect them to bugger off?! I never expected them to hang around so long after such an early MC 😩😢

When will my tests go negative again?!

Ah it's so annoying. I'm not sure, as long as your US went well and there are no retained products I guess it will just gradually decline. Mine was negative before I started bleeding at 5 weeks.
