You might still have high Hcg levels from the mc, or you might not have had a complete mc - I suggest you see your GP. It took my BF 3 months for her levels to go down after her mc because of that.

Fingers crossed that it's not that though, and is a new pg

This has happened to my friend,
She only found out she has missed when she got an infection (missed mc) and within weeks she was pregnant again.

I found myself pregnant with DD straight after a miscarriage having had no period, it is very possible!

Apparently it's classed as a "pregnancy" and like a pregnancy thats goes full term you are still very fertile...This is what we were told on both of our mc's..Sadly it still took us 6-9 months to conceive..

It's reasonably common to get pregnant again quickly after a m/c (reasonably common not to, as well, of course).

It is possible (unless you had your hCG levels monitored down to zero or got a negative result between your m/c and now) that you're not actually pregnant but that your hormone levels are just taking a while to drop after your last pregnancy.

But the most likely thing is that you are pregnant. Congratulations!

How pregnant you are -- you'll need to see the GP who may recommend an early dating scan. But as a very rough guide and from my own experience, when I m/c I ovulated about a week later that cycle (counting the day of m/c as CD1) than I normally would. So at a guess you are probably around 5-6 weeks pregnant (i.e. conceived around 3-4 weeks ago).
