Slow falling hcg after DC
I had a DC on 1 Feb 09, blighted ovum at 11 weeks. The sonogram result only showed an empty sac. On 27 feb (4 weeks aftr DC) hcg 386, 14 march hcg 295 (6 weeks aftr DC) and 28 april hcg 136 ( 12.5 weeks aftr DC). On Apr 21 I started my first 'normal' period. 7 days normal volume mens and another 7 days little spotting. Then on 21 may again I have mens but on the 3rd day i've passed greyish/white tissues about 5 x 2 cm covered by blood. Is it possible that this tissue is from DC which was almost 4 months ago and could it possible that this tissue which caused my HCG to drops very slow?
Yes I have cramps before I passed the tissue. And before that I had my exercise. I dont know if this has any connection.
My doctor told me to have another HCG test 2 months ahead since it drops very slow. Just hoping the HCG will drops a little bit faster since I've passed this remaining old tissues.

Oh, hang on...your first bleed was a week before you had your last HCG test that still showed a level of 136? If so, that could not have been a normal period.
Did you have any cramps with the clots you passed the following month?
I would probably go and have another HCG test if I were you. Just to make sure your levels are back down to normal.

First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage.
If you have had two normal periods since then, I don't think the clots could have anything to do with the miscarriage. Basically, you won't ovulate again (and therefore get a period) until your HCG is back down to normal...and your levels would not go back to normal if there was still tissue left.
That is interesting, though, that the levels were so slow to drop.
