LH surge v soon after miscarriage TTC

Hi all,

Sadly had a mmc which needed to be surgically managed, procedure was done last week. I was feeling some ov type symptoms yesterday so did a pg test and an ov year today and both were strong positives.

I assume that the pg test is because hormones are long lasting in the blood. But as far as I understand LH doesn’t remain high so does that mean I’m truly ovulating? I’m a little surprised as it’s only been a week since I started properly bleeding (I only bled a small amount after 2 attempts at medical management) but perhaps my cycle started again after the 1st attempt at medical management which would put me at Cd14.

Firstly, am I getting ahead of myself or am I wrong scientifically about LH remaining this high? Secondly, I know I should wait with CV19 but after a loss I cannot describe the biological need to try again, it’s really all consuming. But has anyone else tried again on the first cycle after a loss? I know it can make dating difficult but have heard of no other risks, some sources even suggest tour body is ‘primed to conceive’ following miscarriage. Pic attached of pg test at the top and the 2 ovulation test, the one at the bottom is a digital one.

Lh tests pick up pregnancy hormones. So unless you have a negative pregnancy test, the ovulation test aren’t valid...
The strong positive comes from hcg on both.
Had the same after my mc...

And from experience the body isn’t to prime or super fertile after 😶😩

But on another note i did ovulate 15 days after my proper mc bleeding...
So the body does eventually go back to normal.

I conceived 10 days after stopping the pill in november and now i am cycle 4 post mc and still not even a hint of bfp... (we started ttc again straight away and didn’t wait for period).

Aw no, so considering my pg test is still so strong I guess it’s unsurprising that my LH year is strong too Sad

Yeah, I mean I’m hoping I’m more fertile after but I’m certainly not banking on it, I guess the ‘not knowing’ is making me want to start TTC again asap. It’s hard for me to pinpoint cd1 as I did bleed 14 days ago which was my first medically managed attempt, so it could be a genuine ovulation, but obviously that stopped and I needed surgical management so I don’t know whether to count my cd1 was 9 days ago.

I hope we get our BFPs soon. I can’t even express how different the desperation is after a loss compared to before xx
