New pregnancy or retained tissue from MC?

I'm really confused at the moment. Had an MC at 6 weeks 2 months ago, used clearblue digital until i got a "not pregnant" that was 4 weeks ago. Anyways, I have dtd with DH quite a bit since MC. I had sore boobs and nausea after eating last week. So last Wednesday, i peed on a FRER as theyre very sensitive. Came back a clear positive (not dark, but not faint either - it was clearly there. Did 3 more of these over a few days and the lines were similar. Booked an appointment with GP and she took my bloods. Had my results back and i have a HCG level of 10.
My GP wants me to come back for more blood tests next week as she wants the HCG level to be 0. If this is a new pregnancy i'd only be a week or 2 pregnant (which wouldnt surprise me).
Only problem is i had a light pink spot last week. But 4 days ago blood that was brown or dark red started. It's on and off and very light. I dont need to wear a pad, it's only there when i wipe and sometimes droplets of blood (brown or dark red) drop into the toilet. Often, it happens when im pushing for a bm, so almost as if the blood only comes out when it'a pushed. Often there's no blood when i go to the toilet so i think it's over, but then it randomly shows throughout the day :(
Could this be implantation bleeding or the body getting rid of old blood from MC?
Im probably clinging at straws but im praying its a new pregnancy and now retained tissue - surely hormones wouldve dropped after 7-8 weeks??
I hooe my HCG levels double next week

Hi :-) didn't want to read and run!

I fell pregnant immediately after a mc at 6 weeks, I think by my dates now (I'm 12 weeks) I ovulated 3 weeks after the mc bleeding started.
Obviously I don't want to get your hopes up but it can happen. If it is retained tissue then at least your GP is keeping an eye to get it sorted but the negative test does kind of throw doubt on it doesn't it!

Pregnancy and conceiving can be so sucky. I've had two mcs and now I'm 12 weeks. No one tells you about this side of having babies or the heartbreak you can go through. Sending you big hugs and hopefully we will both have healthy babies in 2019 no matter what the outcome of this for you 😊

Thank you littlehotdog :) and i'm glad this pregnancy is going well for you!!
My heart is telling me this is a new pregnancy - i just cant how there could be hormone left when 4 weeks ago clearblue digital said "not pregnant", and i'm sure clearblue digital looks for a HCG level of 25 for 1-2 weeks, so surely i wouldve dropped from 25mlu to 0 within 4 weeks!

I'm just praying i'm super early in pregnancy and these cramps and bleeding are implantation. It's definitly not a period. On and off, and colour is too faint for a period. It's mostly brown but on the off occassion it's a light red or almost a dark brown-blacky colour . It's been happening for 4-5 days now though :( maybe too long for implantation? Perhaps maybe breakthrough bleeding?
My hearts telling me it's new but my head is telling me "dont be silly, next week you'll ring the GP and they'll tell you blood's are fine". But i'm.praying when i ring next friday, the receptionist tells me the doctor needs to see me

@littlehotdog it's fine if you dont want to answer, but how long was it before you got a negative after MC? And did you have any bleeding during this current pregnancy?

I'm crossing my fingers for you! :)

I was being tested for ?ectopic pregnancy so I had bloods every 48 hours. I think a week after the bleeding started my hcg dropped to 2 and they discharged me :-)
I had some slight pinky brown bleeding when my period was due (not enough to need a pad) but then nothing since :-)

EmmaJenkins1 · 16/12/2018 20:35

Thank you! I'm ofcourse trying not to get my hopes high since seeing any kind of blood.is scary when linked with a pregnancy!
I will update next week incase anyone in the future goes through something similar

If it helps...i had a miscarriage at 6ish weeks - a week later i heavily bled - 2 weeks after that (approx) i ovulated and conceived - i know because i was weeing on ovulation sticks as it really messed with my head and i needed to know i was "back to normal!"

i was pregnant on that cycle - you are massively fertile after a miscarriage

im now 30 weeks... :)

EmmaJenkins1 · 16/12/2018 22:39

@Carly2803 thanks for responding! And how wonderful you're now 30 weeks! :) did you have any bleeding after that heavy bleeding? Like implantation? Brown blood? Light pink?

@Christobel51 Brilliant! :) i hope i'm the same!! If you dont mind me asking, did you have any blood during the first few weeks of pregnancy? This blood is scaring me even though it's very light and on and off :(
