HCG still positive

Hi everyone. I had a miscarriage a week ago and my HCG is still positive (only a 26). I have stopped bleeding and so I am just curious what this means for me. I would need to be bleeding to get rid of any conception tissue.....right??

Why can't they have home test to give your levels?

I am sorry for your loss!
you can have  hCG in your system for a few weeks or a month. this is very normal. you don't have to bleed for it to go back to 0. when your hCG is back to 0 you will then ovulate and hopefully resume your normal cycle. it can from 4- many weeks to get a period again. I hoe that your cycle can get back to normal soon as there are ladies on here that are still waiting.
