Feeling better today but still dont feel myself

I just need reassurance that not feeling normal rigth now is normal. I know that sounds crazy right?? My betas are dropping slowly and I just feel so BLAH. Yesterday i was a mess.. I SOBBED at work for 2 hours in the morning and finally left early because I was just so mentally tired. I have been falling asleep at 8 every night and sleep until my alarm goes off in the morning. Today I woke up and mentally I feel better but now I feel like I may have a UTI (going to doctor at 12). UGH when will this all end? I started bleeding xmas eve (bled for about 12 days) and last Monday found out that I was indeed having a miscarriage (betas dropped from 175 to 31). Since than bleeding has stopped but betas only dropped 2 points since last week. I feel like this is never ending. I have to go back in 2 weeks for more bloodwork to test betas again. Does this whole process really take this long? Why can I not just accept what is going on? I feel so blah -- did you guys feel the same as your hormones were still dropping? Please tellme I wont feel so moody and BLAH forever! I am also due for my period this weekend but will it come if my hormones are still kind of high? Ofcourse I think of ALL of these questions after I leave the doctors office.

    I'm sorry you're still feeling bad but it does take a lot of time. We found out about our m/c a month ago and I am still having some bad days and dealing with the migraines that seem to be a side effect. I hope you start to improve soon - I know for me I didn't mentally turn a corner until about 4 weeks post d&e so maybe you will see some improvement soon. Hang in there!

    I felt horrible after my first m/c for a while.  Your hormones are out of control, and it will take a while to get back to normal.  Don't put so much pressure on yourself! =)  I promise it does get better, even though it seems like it takes forever!

    I think sometimes it just takes a while for betas to drop with natural m/c.  I had a similar experience to yours, and my numbers took 5 weeks to drop from 360 to under 20.  Once I got to 20, they stopped testing my betas, and I got AF about 4 weeks later.

    I hope you can get through this quickly!  I know I felt MUCH better once I got AF.  It made me feel like my body was adjusting back to normal.  Good Luck!

    Hormones are not your friend. Pile that on top of a load of grief, anger, sadness, and disappointment, and no wonder you don't feel like yourself. Try to be easy on yourself and just do what you need to do to feel better.

    ditto what everyone else said. I went back to acupuncture a couple of weeks after the d&c and I think it is helping my hormones to feel a little bit better. I'm not sure, but I don't think you get your period until several weeks after your HCG hits 0. hang in there!
