Help needed! Positive test after miscarriage

Hi,

Just looking for advice, I had a D&C 4 nearly 5 weeks ago. I was never told to take a pregnancy test afterwards but since reading on here I feel it might be best especially as we are trying again before I even get my period back. I've just taken one and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks. I've heard it can take a long time to get a negative result but just wondering how long it does take to get a negative result and is this a false positive. I guess the only way I can really tell is by taking another one next week but I think I will be stressing out for a whole week! We had sex again two weeks ago, how possible is it that a pregnancy test would show the results that early?

It's so irritating when mesical professionals say different things. Can you get a blood test to check your levels?

MrsKappa · 26/06/2020 07:38

I have no useful information to give you but have read your thread and wanted to send you Flowers. The waiting must be so hard, just take very good care of yourself x

I rang midwife on birthing unit and she gives a completely different story, she said it can take up to 6 weeks for hormones to settle down after surgery and wasnt sure why I was told any different Confused and if I am concerned to call the GP for a blood test. I guess I should just wait till next Friday and see where I am at again

The EPAU just said that if it has been that long after my surgery that I probably am pregnant but I just have to check again next week to see if my levels go up. She said that last week I was probably only 1 weeks pregnant and this week will be two. She said I will just need to wait till next friday again to check...I can't deal with all this waiting!!!!! Angry

It is weird though cos I do have a lot of symptoms already like sore boobs, feeling nauseous and super bloated but all must just be in my head! Confused

Just done the test girls and it still says 1-2 weeks unfortunately. It's just going to be the hormones still in my system isn't it...I'll call the GP today and try to get a blood test

The first time I was told nothing. This time I’m not to try until after my first AF. I seem to have a better team around me this time, they want to do more test, but unfortunately I have to have another miscarriage to be allowed to have them. They have done a couple and are getting a histology on everything they took away.

I lost a baby at Christmas and was pregnant by the end of January - result is nearly 19 now. So good luck and fingers crossed.

@Em39ma did they tell you that you will not have that hormone in your system anymore after two weeks as I was given no information after mine at all

Em39ma · 25/06/2020 18:36

@Bexsta101 I know what you mean. My Hcg at one point went up after my original miscarriage. We thought we could be pregnant again, but it was just rose again for some reason

Thanks @TokenGinger and @Poppy10121. Ok @Em39ma well maybe cos you have to do it in two weeks after your op they are hoping all the hormones will be gone by then. I dont know I just dont want to get mine or my OH hopes up!

No I didn’t have a MVA I was left to pass myself. The nurses kept asking the doctors to do one, but they wanted to keep waiting.
I haven’t tested yet with my last, I only had the MVA on Tuesday last week. I have different doctors this time and they don’t want me to have the same problem as last time.

TokenGinger · 25/06/2020 15:06

Good luck ❤️

Poppy10121 · 25/06/2020 15:03

Good luck for your test @bexsta101 x

@Em39ma did you have MVA with your first miscarriage? How long ago did you have your MVA this time? Yeah I think it is just pure hormones unfortunately

OP posts:
Em39ma · 25/06/2020 13:33

After my first miscarriage 18months ago I was getting positive test up to 8 weeks after my miscarriage. I was having to go to the Epau twice a week to have my levels checked.
I’ve just had another miscarriage and I had MVA but I’ve got take a test again next week to check it is negative.
So please check that level has gone up, and if not please get checked over.

Thanks @Poppy10121 and @loladoddle. I do have a cheapy one at home so can try that and see how that comes out. I just dont feel pregnant like I felt last time but I know it is possible to not really have any symptoms at very early days. I'll let you girls know how it goes next week x

Loladoodle · 19/06/2020 10:43

@bex following a d&c I did get pos tests for quite a few weeks I can’t recall how many but I remember it being very stressful it was possibly for 3-5 weeks after wish I could remember exactly. Best of luck to you, take care.
