Is this normal?

Question

I had a miscarriage in June and my levels were at an 10 the last time I had my blood drawn (the 19th). I had blood drawn again Tuesday but haven’t heard back from my doctor yet. But since then, I get intense pain from my mid-stomach to my vagina throughout the day. I thought maybe it’s the last of my levels trying to die off? Or maybe my body preparing to ovulate?

Answer

Do you mean your HCG? I hear it can take a while for it to go down to 0. And you may experience cramps for some time too. Every woman is different. With my miscarriage, I basically felt fine physically right after I stopped bleeding (which lasted 5 or 6 days) and the cramps stopped altogether for about 2-3 weeks and then came back for a short while. It worried me too and I called my clinic, they say it’s perfectly normal and there’s no time frame for the symptoms to go away, it might take anything from a few weeks to a few months for things to go back to normal. But I was told they could book me in for a scan of pain gets worse or if I’m really worried. So if you’re concerned - see a doctor and they might want to check if everything’s okay. Good luck and hope you feel better soon. X
