I was 5 wks pg when I started having dark red bleeding and passed some clots. I went into the midwife to get a blood test about 5 days later and they said my HCG level was 2 and that I had probably had a miscarriage. I also noticed that my breasts didn't hurt like before. Now, 11 days later, I feel like my breasts are tender again and I feel off and on nauseous. Is it normal for symptoms to persist this long? I keep thinking "maybe they're wrong" which is really annoying when I am otherwise doing pretty well emotionally.

I understand what you are going through. I was told by my doctor that even though i had the m/c and the d&c the hormones are still there and it could take up to 3 weeks for them to go away. Even after I passed the baby and had surgery, i was concerned that the doctor was wrong. It is normal, but the doubt will go away. If your hcg was only a 2 then i don't think they were wrong. Bless you and keep your spirits up.

I know how you feel, I started losing blood last week and the US confirmed that the baby stopped developing in week 5 and so I was already m/c when i took the prg test. Three weeks of excitment and then nothing.... I am scheduled for D/C in two weeks and hopefuly I will have past the tissue by then and it is no longer necessary to go to the hospital. But my boobs are really tender and I do feel nausea too. It is just awfull because I want to get on with my life and get back into trying to get pregnant again...

same thing for me, actually only learned that the baby's heartbeat stopped yesterday and I havea D&C today, but my breasts feel more tender now than they did in a long time.
