Could I be pregnant or is it leftover hcg?

Hi I miscarried at 12 weeks. I was scanned 3 weeks ago and my uterus was completely empty. I ovulate quite early in my cycle. I stopped bleeding for a bit over a week ago and all my pregnancy symptoms stopped about 4 days after my scan. The thing is I’m now having symptoms again. I’m testing positive on a pregnancy test but it could be leftover hcg right? Could I be pregnant again already? (My hcg levels haven’t been managed as they thought it wasn’t necessary because no tissue was left on my scan)

@Andrea Thank you but I see no reason why we can’t talk about it here.

It sounds like you’re possibly pregnant again. Were you tracking ovulation once you stopped bleeding? How strong is your positive test?

I would recommend a blood test to measure your hCG levels. The only aspect I’m questioning is you only stopped bleeding a week ago, and are already testing positive which isn’t super likely, but I’m also not sure how long it could be taking for your hCG levels to drop..

@Stephanie They should have dropped completely 3-6 weeks from the miscarriage, but they shouldn’t be going up. So if the tests are getting darker it’s a bit weird. I also don’t know exactly when I stopped bleeding but I think a bit over a week ago. I’m really not sure

I agree 100%, I just think the only way to know for sure is to have the blood test to see what the hCG numbers actually are. Otherwise, you can keep testing with the strips to track the rise

@Stephanie If the tests keeps getting darker I’ll order a blood test💗

Good call 💜 I really hope you are pregnant again! Best wishes and I’m so sorry you experienced a miscarriage

Hello! I am a holistic fertility and womens health coach! It is possible you were scanned right before conceiving again but it is hard to understand or tell unless you track your cycle. You could continue to wait a few days and test again or go for a blood test

@Mya Hi this was 6 months ago and was fluctuating leftover hcg. It went back to normal a month after this post. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant with my little miracle💗 Thank you tho😊

Congratulations!!! That is so amazing!!! Have a wonderful birth!
