miscarried two months ago in october..still no period.

Hello all! I have been very concerned and worried that something is wrong with me, and i need some advice and support. I miscarried in October at 12 weeks. I didn't have a D&C or anything. I passed the fetus completely. I was supposed to follow up for a pap, but i still have not done that. My boyfriend and i was very heartbroken about the situation. Anyhow, I'm concerned because i have not yet had a period. Last month i took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. (i purchased this hpt from the 99 cent store)... A few days later, i went to my urgent care and took a pregnancy test, which came out positive. My doctor sent me to the hospital to get a vaginal ultrasound. Unfortunately, there was no fetus showing. I'm guessing my hgc levels is still high and I'm showing positive, due to the left overs from the miscarriage. Now, the thing i am worried about at the moment, is that my boyfriend has been going in me ever since, after the miscarriage and no pregnancy yet. The other thing is that today when i went to go pee, i noticed on my underwear, a dark, almost black or brown sticky discharge with light streaks of blood on the toilet paper when i wiped. No pain or odor at all. could this mean I'm getting my period or something? What is this? i really want to know. Oh and must i mention, i was recently prescribed metronidazole because my doctor said i had some kind of vaginal infection called "gardnarella" or something like that. I have 5 tubes. I've already used 4 and i have one left, but i skipped yesterday. Could this also be a reason why I'm having that dark brown discharge?? Maybe it's all the bad stuff coming out and the gel is taking affect??? I really don't know whats going on and i would really appreciate it if anyone can help me out here. Thank you so much.

it could be, brown blood is old blood so it could just be part of whats left over from the miscarriage, sometimes you have abit  stagnant  old blood that can be left in your uterus I dont think it would be due to the infection, so my guess is either from the miscarriage, maybe breakthrough bleeding from a new pregnancy or your cycle trying to start back up :)

Yeah you are right. Sometimes pregnancy doesn't show symptoms. I still need to take another test. Also, about my brown discharge I've been having, I think it's a good thing because I don't have any odor and I uses to have bad odor and yellowish white discharge until the doctor gave me the metro gel. U guess all that brown clumpy stuff was probably that bad stuff coming out. You think so?

even with a vaginal u/s they usually cant see anything until week 5, sometimes wk 4 but they usually dont even do one when your that early for just that reason, and sometimes you dont have any symptoms so its either taking a while for your levels to drop and your cycle to regulate or I would test again in a week or so especially if the discharge stops

well i don't think i am prego because i have not had any symptoms. i have three small children and i had early pregnancy symptoms with all three of them and the recent pregnancy i had but had a miscarriage. i was thinking the same thing to about the ultrasound i had, that maybe it was to early to detect, but i had a vaginal ultrasound. anyhow, i dont really know. on the other  hand i cant really see a doctor right now because i moved 6 hours away and im still in the process of trying to switch my medical over, so therefor i have to go to planned parenthood to get checked for now. thanks for the advice though.

I would be treating yourself as pregnant at this point, if you have had a neg test then a positive after the neg, well then your pregnant, the reason why the scan would have not shown anything is because you would have been to early, I would redo the test and if that comes up pos again go to your doctor and get blood tests done to check your hcg levels, also make sure the cream is ok to use when pregnant
