9 weeks after MMC, still getting positive pregnancy tests, feeling very alone and helpless

So yeah... 9 weeks on and still no sight of HCG leaving my system. I have had scans, blood tests, an apparent non period bleed at 6 weeks. My HCG went down from 75 to 42 in 3 days and then 2 weeks later was only 36. They say they can't see anything, they just want me to wait. In 2 weeks they might give me something to induce a period to get rid of the hcg but as a last resort.

I'm feeling very alone and frustrated as it seems like a very rare situation to be in. I don't know anyone in real life who has had a miscarriage never mind the body apparently refusing to let go. The only thing keeping me positive was knowing we could try again, and yet here I am, stuck being fake pregnant. Its starting to really take its toll on my mental health. I just want to be back to normal. How long do I have to wait? :(

Has anyone at all been through the same thing?!

You poor thing. I lost a baby in august. It’s such a painful soul destroying time. I still had hcg for a few weeks after and positive tests, it was really hitting me hard mentally seeing the positives. I didn’t need any further intervention as I had bled myself. They did warn me I might still need the tablets down the line or potentially a surgery to clear out the pregnancy completely. It did go for me, but my friend had to take tablets with hers. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you have a lot of support as it’s a very lonely time.
