Hello everyone, I had a miscarriage in April and had my first period May 18, and I was starting to track ovulation and I was getting positives for 5 days so I took 4 pregnancy and they all had 2 lines, do you guys think this is the old pregnancy or could it be a new one? I was not at all swaying yet or trying to get pregnant yet. Was using pull out method.

Hard to say. I'm sorry for your loss. Did you have any follow up to track your hcg? how far along were you?

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's possible it's a new pregnancy but can't say for sure. Are the tests getting darker?

No no follow ups, I took a test a few days after it happened and it was very very light. I was almost 10 weeks, but baby stopped growing around 5 weeks.

I think it may be a new pregnancy at this point but I think you need to get to a doc and have this checked out, since if you are still getting positive pregnancy tests from that it can mean you have retained tissue which can be dangerous.

If in the meantime before you can get in, if you start feeling achy or unwell and/or spike a temperature even if you don't feel sick, get to the ER right away.

So I just got off the phone with my Dr. Office and they seem to think it is from the old pregnancy, they just told me to retest in a month.

??? What? Really? For a loss in April they think you should wait another month??

I reiterate my advice about taking your temp regularly and going to the emergency room if you feel achy or unwell. That seems to me to be goofy advice quite frankly and I'd even consider a second opinion.

Frankly, it's absurd and cruel to make a woman who just suffered a loss wait an entire month to find out whether a positive pregnancy test is a new pregnancy or not.

I had a bunch of wonky opk and hpt results after my m/c in January (@8 weeks), and got my doctor to do a serial draw which showed that I wasn't pregnant, my HCG from the m/c was just falling slowly.

Ask your doctor to do a serial blood draw, or go to another doctor who will give you one. The results are usually quick and then you won't have to live in suspense.

^^^^^^^ this x a million. This is uncool and not proper care even just from a psychological/caring angle let alone if you actually do have some retained tissue that could cause an infection.

Most likely explanation is that you are pregnant but I don't like you being left in limbo like this! We can't even try anything like RRLT if there was retained tissue because we don't know if you're pregnant!!

Thank guys! Well AF come today scheduled, yesterday OPK are negative and hopefully after AF stops I will get a negative pregnancy tests. I do 100 percent agree with you guys, I do feel like my doctor blew off I feel she could have least ordered blood test, if I am still getting positive pregnancy test after AF then I will get a second opinion.
