Thoughts on positive hpt after m/c

Hi All

I just wanted your thoughts on my situation, below is a bit of a background.

I m/c'd after 6 weeks (04/04) I didn't have a d&c as I was overseas and a little bit nervous to go when I wasn't near to my own doctor. However all was passed by 11/04 and bleeding stopped. Approx 2 weeks later I took a hpt with a negative result which is what we wanted as we wanted to make sure everything had passed. The signs and symptoms had left by this stage and I no longer 'felt pregnant'

We were obviously very keen to try again but wanted to wait until my next af so as we could get back to normal before ttc again. Anyway, things didn't quite work out that way and last week after still no sign of af, I had some symptoms that I thought might be pregnancy signs, I took a hpt which came up with a faint positive.
I haven't taken another hpt since but have been getting sore boobs and have been peeing a lot!! (sorry, tmi)

My question is, do you think this could still be signs of the old pregnancy or do you think it may be a new pregnancy? I know, I should go to my doctor and get tested but before I can make an appt I wanted to get your opinions.

I'd appreciate any advice and sorry for the long post!

I'd say that its a positive for a new pregnancy. A line is a line no matter how dark, it just depends on how the dye reacts with your sample. I'd go to your Dr and ask for a blood test just to be sure and even an early scan too to reassure that all is ok.

Good Luck

Hi MrsEmma, I would say it is totally possible. Last year I had a natural miscarriage and then conceived again with no af inbetween, so it is definately possible. And it is sounding very likely for you, but I would go get bloods done to confirm. Goodluck

I'd say its a legit BFP. You've had a negative which indicates all the HCG levels went back to normal so this latest test sounds like a proper positive.
Try another of the same brand tomorrow morning and see if its darker.   
Also - ask the drs for some HCG blood tests and an early scan - believe me falling pregnant straight after a MC does your head in and having some signs that all is going ok in there is a life saver.

I had a natural MC in Dec and fell pregnant straight away.

Hey MrsEmma,

I might be in the same situation as you.
I got a really faint (barely there) BFP tonight & am wondering if it could be a fasle +ve.
My sister said she had 1 a month after her m/c as well as the reappreance of her preg symptoms even though she wasn't preg, I am also having all of my symptoms again, but am thinking it is just my body playing tricks on me.
I suppose I have no choice but to wait a few days & then test again

MrsEmma and Na_#1 - wow, fingers crossed for both of you!

As you know Na I had a m/c about four weeks ago also. I had a very definite negative HPT last Thursday and AF arrived on Sunday so hopefully your positives are positives!! Keep us posted

Hmmm, that is certainly sounded very promising Na_#1. Did you get bloods done after your m/c? I got some done a couple of days after and it showed that my HCG levels had dropped right down.

If so it might be worth getting a set of bloods done to see what level your HCG is at now? Or get some done now and then in a couple of days to see if there's any upward movement.

Oooh how exciting, fx!!

That would be a horrible trick Na_#1

Depending on how mad its driving you I'd pop along to the doctor for some answers - especially if AF hasn't arrived by Thursday. Last thing you'd want to have bloods done on Friday and then not get answers till Monday, arghhhhh!! I couldn't stand it!!

Hi All

Na_#1 I really hope my body isn't playing tricks on me, I would be absolutely devastated. It's so frustrating all the waiting and not knowing, it's enough to drive you insane. All the very best for your results, please keep us posted.

Doing a hpt got the better of me and I've just bought and done one - it was a really dark positive so we are VERY happy!! I'm going to book into the doctor this week and see what they have to say but I'm super excited!! YAY!
