HcG level after a miscarriage

The doctor's office just called back with my HcG level after my miscarriage. On Aug 16 my level was over 5,000. Then a week later on Aug 23 my level was 168.

I guess my body is adjusting really fast. I wonder if that is normal and if I will get my next AF soon. Hmmmmm.

Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

TTC #2 since Dec 2011
BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

    You can still cycle while HCG is elevated.  Mine took a long time to come down!  Weeks.  I started at 50,000+, then down to thousands range, then hundreds, etc. for weeks.  Meanwhile, my ovaries were doing their own thing.  I know this because I thought I was sort of mid-cycle and had an ultrasound which showed a big follicle ready to go.  

    My doctor confirmed that it is a myth that you can't ovulate while HCG is elevated.

    Thanks, ladies, for sharing your experiences with me. 

    I'm feeling much better physically and mentally. I have my days, but think I'll be ready to TTC when I get AF.
