Positive opk after a miscarriage

Hi, hoping someone a bit more knowledgable than me can help me figure this out! I had a medically managed miscarriage 9 days ago and have had strong positives on opks for the last 2 days. I know that they pick up hcg so presumed that this was just picking up left over hormones from the pregnancy. Today I had a very faint positive on a pregnancy test so looks as though my hormone levels are nearly back to normal, but the opk is still coming up with a strong positive. The pregnancy test is 10 miu and the opk 20 - so my question is this still just left over hormones when the pregnancy tests are getting lighter and the opks aren't?

I MC on 3rd May, got an opk positive on days 10-13, a hcg negative on day 10, opk negative on day 14 then positive again on days 17-18. I don't think I've ovulated yet as my boobs normally get sore straight after ovulation. I think my hormones are still all over the place. I've only just stopped getting brown discharge (actually had a tiny bit today). So God knows what's going on! But I did read that the opks aren't very accurate in the first month after MC as you can get false positives. I had an ultra sensitive hcg test so was surprised that was negative if the opks are picking up leftover pg hormones. Confused!

Good luck everyone x

Hi, I'm 3 weeks post medical management and still getting the faintest of faint lines on preg test... Not bleeding and no signs of infection but my opks have been positive for at least the last two weeks...!! I'm wondering if they're just picking up residual bhcg, but I've had fertile mucous on and off so god knows!
Be interested to hear from anyone who had this and it turned out they ovulated so soon after and got preggo... It's annoying me!
Sorry for your loss Flowers its shit, isn't it?
