PLEASE!! NEED ADVICE

I am so confused right now. most of you know i recently got preg, levels not going up, 289 first beta, 329 2nd (4days), and 4days later 47. Last level was on 12/27/08. Went for my post IVF 12/29/2008, told RE I had not bled at ALL!! And I have been peeing alot. She said by now the levels were out of my system. I still have not bled. On 01/02 I took an ovulation test without the digital part, the thing had 2 dark lines. Thought Wow maybe I am ovulating. That was quick. So me and DH got busy on 1/2 and 1/4. But I have been feeling really really bloated, breast sore, and nauseas sometimes. Today is 01/07/2008, still have not bled. Today I stopped at the drug store, something kept telling me to do this. Bought a test (Walgreen" digital) the things says i'm pregnant. It showed quick too. Not like they usually do, taking their time. The little picture blinked a few times and pregnant came up. In saying all this.... What is going on. How could this be. Is it possible I still have HCG, after 11 days. I mean they were 47. My husband thinks I may have gotten pregnant when we, you know what. I told him no way possible. Please ladies, I depend on your insight here, even if I don't come visit as frequently as I used too.

To me I would be more worried about an ectopic than anything, but then again when I had my ectopic I did bleed before it ruptured, and I thought it was my normal AF. I googled HCG levels going up and down and had a couple that said the lab had made a mistake, and one where the progesterone kicked in and brough the numbers back up for a healthy pregnancy.

I'm not trying to get your hopes up, like you said you've accepted the loss and that is most likely the case, but it's happend.  It's just weired that you test came up positive so fast that's not something you would usally get with a hcg of 47, let alone 2 weeks after an hcg of 47 it should be gone, or really really low...  Keep us updated, I'll be looking for your post.

Unfortunately it can take a few weeks to get to zero...When I had miscarriage #2 it took 3 weeks to get from 59 to three!!!  It was pure torture!!  Sorry you're going thru this.

WBN:
I have not bled a bit. Nothing! Not even any thick mucus. I am confused about this too. In September I had a D/C. Didn't bleed except immediately after the D/C. I understood this. My RE said this was normal, she removed everything from inside. But this time I have not had a D/C.

cminayer: I would be 7wks and 1 day today.

I discussed the possibility of ectopic with my RE. I told her I was scared my tubes would rupture if I didn't know. This was on the 29th. She stated "your levels would be gone by now." since my levels were only 47 two days before. Has anyone had levels this low take this long to leave.

I say ask for an u/s and blood test...I wish there was something more I could say...Keep me posted!

They really need to check you, are they sure it's not an ectopic?  How far along would you be now if your levels wouldn't have dropped?  I would go and get another beta.  Good luck, I hope everything works out so you guys can move on and get your BFP that sticks!

You had a miscarriage, yet you have not bled? I'm confused?

There is a slight possibility that you were pregnant with twins and lost one (vanishing twin.) That would explain the drop in hCG and still give you a positive test now.

I would demand another blood test.
