Thanks girls for answering my post. To Nellsbells, welcome, and sorry for your loss, you've come to the right place for a bit of support. About your HCG levels, it can take quite a while before they go back to normal. I took 6 weeks, and usually you don't have blood tests to check this, unless there's another underlying issue they want to check, though you might be able to request it.
Lee- I've read your story,a nd I'm totally devastated for you. How cruel it is that one person can go through so much. You must be an incredibly strong person to be able to pick yourself up, and I truly hope that your next pregnancy results in the gorgeous baby you deserve....look after yourself!
