Faint positive test?
Hey guys. I posted the other day wondering when I would ovulate after stopping birth control. For reference I was on it 3 weeks, I had a period 24 days ago and I’m off the pack for 14 days today. I had some slight brown spotting and took an ovulation test and it was high. I took a pregnancy test and it’s faint positive. I am 8 weeks out from a traumatic miscarriage so I’m not trying at this time. Could this be residual from the miscarriage or what do we think? Am I ovulating or is the ovulation test high from hcg?

Here’s what DR. Google said: It’s possible to see an LH peak during pregnancy because both LH and hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, the hormone detected in pregnancy tests) share a similar protein structure. So, a pregnant woman who takes an OPK would test positive, but not because she’s about to ovulate; it’s because she’s pregnant.
@Lisa Dr Google has been stressing me out! I read the same that’s why I took the pregnancy test to begin with. I’m stressed
After 8 weeks your miscarriage HGC should be gone. Confusing… based on the limited knowledge I have I’d say you’re likely pregnant again.
