Hi ladies
So unfortunately I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, it was a missed miscarriage so I didn’t bleed until the day before my 12 week scan (6 weeks ago now)
Pregnancy tests were consistently positive for a month following this, even though a scan 3 weeks after confirmed the miscarriage as complete. Tests got lighter but I was under the impression I couldn’t ovulate until the pregnant hormone had completely gone / dropped to undetectable levels. I did a test on Friday 15th Nov and it was still positive, but started spotting Monday 18th Nov, turned heavier by the Tuesday (enough to fill a tampon- sorry TMI), but eased off by the Wednesday afternoon and went back to just brown discharge (old blood). I assume this was my period but just a bit of an odd one.
After thinking about the spotting, I’ve taken another pregnancy test today to check levels and it’s still positive.
Has anyone had any experience of this before? Surely I shouldn’t had ovulated/ had a period if I still had pregnancy hormones? Could it be a new pregnancy? It seemed too heavy to be implantation bleeding but the blood seemed very dark (old blood) so could a shift in hormones just have triggered old blood from the miscarriage?
So bloody confused! X
