adding this in ahead of time: my ovulation has been knocked back since my IUD removal in April - I ovulate roughly 3 weeks after my period ends now
so I found out I was pregnant September 27 with multiple HPT's. I went to the Health Dept. for confirmation on October 2, they said I was 5 weeks & 3 days.
one week later (October 8) I woke up bleeding & went to the ER. urine test came back negative, blood test came back positive with 104 as my hcg levels. the ruled miscarriage & said to expect lots of bleeding. I bled for 3 days (not even heavy, not like a period or heavier).
I went to my OB appointment on the 10th. urine test came back positive, they didn't take blood, but they did a transvaginal ultrasound & said I had a complete miscarriage. the doctor wants to see me again on November 6.
on October 19 I took a pregnancy test to make sure my levels went down. I expected to see an extremely faint line or a negative result. the test came back darker than the ones before the ER visit. I then started bleeding on the 20th, & still haven't stopped (I'm on day 14 of the second bleed).
I tested again on October 28, that test came back positive before the control line was all the way filled in. (while still bleeding)
WHY ARE MY TESTS GETTING DARKER??
does anyone think I could still be pregnant, just not as far along as they thought?

@TinyDreamer
You may need another scan. I had a scan at the beginning of the week and they could not find anything. I have been lightly bleeding on and off for a few weeks. Was back again yesterday and after a bit of hunting they found it but unfortunately it was ectopic. I really think you need more blood tests and another scan. Sometimes it can take a while for urine tests to become negative, but think it would put your mind at rest.

Hope all is ok xx
