    After Miscarriage Question...
    TIA for any information!

    I was 8 weeks pg, and lost the baby 2 weeks ago today. I bled for about 3 days and stopped for about 4. I then started bleeding again for a day at the most, and stopped again. I have now started bleeding again. Throughout all of this, I have been having horrible cramps. I have been seeing my OBGYN to have my blood levels monitored, and I have platoued at a 174. Is it normal to start and stop bleeding like that? Everything I've read has said that after a couple days to a week, it should be done, but my body is not acting like it agrees. Also, how long should it take to get your hormone levels back down? My OBGYN told me she wanted me to get below a 5. At this rate, that will never happen! :) Any information provided would be greatly appreciated! I would just like this to be over and get on with my life, KWIM? Anyway, thanks in advance! I appreciate your help

    I'm sorry for your loss. With my first miscarriage I was bleeding on and off for about two weeks when my ob/gyn decided to do a d&c to end it. After the d&c was done my blood levels dropped immediately (there was no longer any kind of tissue putting out the hcG hormone). I think I had my next period within 3 or 4 weeks after that. Hang in there.
