Could I be pregnant again already?

[MamaHen94]

I had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago - I was 9 weeks pregnant. I had ultrasounds done throughout it, and the final one confirmed that there was no tissue or anything left in the uterus after the bleeding had stopped. The miscarriage started 7/25 and I went to the ER, and they said my hcg levels had already gone from 9 weeks to 5 weeks within a matter of hours. Well it's 6 weeks later and I haven't had a period since the bleeding stopped, but I've been feeling very tired and nauseous. I took a pregnancy test a couple days ago, and it was positive. I took a second one two days later, and it was still positive. Is there any chance there's just leftover hcg in my system that's giving me a false positive? Or am I for sure pregnant? I doubt that there'd still be any hcg in my system (especially since I was only 9 weeks when I miscarried, and my levels had dropped to 5 weeks in just one day)...but I also don't want to get too excited. Has anyone been through this before? Have any advice/opinions?

I fell pregnant exactly one week after having a mc. If you still doubt it take another test hun, preferably a clear blue digital as there is no mistaking those!

I've taken 3 tests so far and they have all been positive... I took one last Friday, another Sunday, and another today. Surely that means it's true!

I had a MMC at 12 weeks - it took 2 weeks for the hcg to disappear, so I'd have thought 6 weeks should be more than enough (especially if it dropped so quickly for you).

I think it sounds very promising - and it is possible to get pregnant again in the same cycle - so fingers very much crossed for you! xx

Sounds like you are pregnant to me!

Thanks everyone! I just got home from having my blood drawn, so I'm hoping to find out something by tomorrow!

Oh and also, when I took the 3 pregnancy tests, the "positive" line was way darker than the "control" line, and I read that it means a very high level of HCG was detected...and considering that I couldn't be more than 4-5 weeks at most, a few people have said there's a possibility of maybe twins??

How did the bloods go? Hcg is higher with twins but there is quite a range for each day that goes by for women with singletons or twins.

Hope everything is well xxx

I miscarried at 11 weeks (medically managed), and found out I was pregnant again just under 4 weeks later. Didn't have a period in between, so GP sent me for bloods and scan.

I lost my baby a week ago was 21 weeks along. I took a preg test last night and it was negative just after 1 week so I'd definitely say you have a new positive test.
