HCG - how long?

Allison

I had a miscarriage in July/August (confirmed loss in July, d&c; in August). I tested on cheap internet pregnancy tests and got negatives as of Aug 18 and ovulated a week and one day later, confirmed with opk and temp rise. Fast forward a week and a half and I kept getting vvvvvfl on FRER, which I know are stronger at detecting hormones. The line fluctuated... faint, lighter, darker, faint (but never a clear positive). I ended up assuming it was just leftover from the miscarriage, and I because I didnt test on FRER or have blood tests tracked to zero, that the more sensitive test was picking up leftover.

I ended up getting my period Sept 8, and it was awful. I was in so much pain and bled heavily for one day, light for 1 day and spotted for 2. I ovulated September 22, and because I am a POAS Addict I tested Saturday morning, 8dpo. Got a faint positive! But I was anxious.

This morning the line is fainter, still barely there but not darker and I’m worried it’s the same thing as last month... just left over from the mc :( but how is this possible?! I miscarried 8 weeks ago, had a negative test (so my levels were below 20 or 25) 6 weeks ago and I’ve ovulated twice and had a period!!

Has this happened to anyone else?? Any advice or feedback or thoughts appreciated. Thanks ladies. Baby dust to all.
