The month of May feels like ages ago. The FET that led to this miscarriage hardly feels like it happened this year. But it had to have because it is just now coming to an end. And coming full circle, as they say.
Two months and ten days ago I wrote a post called Getting Darker Everyday about the gradual darkening of my positive hpts. It is so strange now to pee on a stick with the hope of that beloved pink line disappearing. It feels a bit sacrilegious.
The encouraging news is that all bleeding has finally ceased! After 44 days of bleeding and spotting I have not had any spotting so far today! I did not go in for the 'let's-see-what-might-be-going-on' ultrasound today! My body must have heeded the warning because on Friday the spotting was much lighter and I was fairly confident that it would end by Monday so that I could cancel my Tuesday appointment.
Additionally, I took a FRER hpt on Sunday evening just to be sure the HCG looked low (based on past FRER hpt and same day betas, I can make a pretty good guess at my blood hcg levels). The line was barely there, but I didn't use FMU and had been drinking lots of water all day so I wasn't sure, but I guessed that Tuesday's levels would be lower than my last beta of 49.3. I took another hpt this morning with FMU and it was a little darker than Sunday evening, with the main difference being that F could not see the positive line on Sunday and could barely see it today. My eyes are much better trained for detecting pink lines.
Based on today's test, my guess is that my hcg levels are somewhere between 10 and 20. I decided to wait another day to go in for my beta. I'll go tomorrow. I really want this to be the last post miscarriage beta I need. I'll test again tomorrow and post a picture with the blood result. We'll see how good my ability for predicting blood hcg levels with an hpt are then.
Moving on feels better.

I am so glad that your bleeding has finally stopped and I sincerely hope that your levels are much lower (if not negative) when you get your next beta. Hugs.
SO glad that the bleeding has finally stopped for you. Good luck with your next beta.
Yay for no more bleeding! What a relief! Fingers crossed for a negative, if not almost negative, number. Let's be DONE with that one!
