Is this normal?

I thought a couple of days ago it was all over. Nothing but the tiniest bit when I wiped and my body felt normal. Then yesterday I had some more blood (red rather than the brown I had been getting) and cramps again.

Is it normal to stop and start like that?


Also wondered how long does it usually take your hcg levels to return to 0 once you have done the bleeding thing? Almost 3 weeks ago they were 1100, then 2 days later 900.. a week later 500 and last week they were 300ish. I've got another blood test this week *sigh*

Yep, it's normal for the bleeding to start and stop on and off, especially if your levels are still quite high, but I have no idea how long it will take them to drop off completely coz I don't know much about ectopic pregnancies.

The hospital told me that it could take up to 12 weeks to miscarry naturally although I guess that must be the extreme end.

I had extreme drugs as well for my mc, because they weren't sure if it was ectopic or not, my levels were low but rising VERY slowly but they also weren't going down while bleeding. I had to have blood tests every 2 days for 7 weeks to make sure they did go back to 0 - the last blood test I had the day before my laparoscopy was at 2, and they were happy with that. I had bleeding on and off for 4 weeks, then the drugs which took 4-5 days of solid bleeding before it calmed down again. I hope it eventually sorts itself out for you.
