I had a miscarriage 2 1/2 months ago. It was a 'missed miscarriage' so baby stopped developing at 6 weeks but I didn't actually miscarry until 10 weeks. I bled for 3 weeks. A month ago I had a minor bleed but it was nothing like my normal period, more like old deep red blood. Because we were worried about retained products of conception, I had a scan and whilst they found that I was bleeding internally, the results came back with everything normal. I've not had a normal period since my miscarriage.
Its between 2 and 2 1/2 months since the miscarriage bleeding stopped. This morning I did a pregnancy test and whilst the line was very very faint, there was a line present. I never had any tests done to check that my HCG levels returned to zero after the miscarriage. And never had a D&C or anything, they just let my body do its thing.
I'm so damn scared to get my hopes up that I could be pregnant again. Is it possible that the test is reading residual HCG levels?? Or that the test was wrong?
