Post miscarriage test help please

I sadly had a miscarriage last month. Started bleeding on the 30/10. Took a test 2 weeks later which showed a faint positive. Last week the same brand was negative.
Yesterday I had a weird feeling and bought the triple pack clearblues. The strip tests showed very very faint lines (I thought evaps) and the digital (not the conception indicator one) showed not pregnant.
I can't shake the feeling so picked up clearblue with conception indicator today which shows pregnant 1-2. I have only had unprotected sex 1 since miscarriage. 2 weeks ago after a few wines. Anyway I then took a cheapy which is negative.
I'm so confused. Am I pregnant again or is it some residual hcg from the miscarriage. Any help would be appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out

If you've had a negative test since the loss then it could well be a new pregnancy. The only way to know will be to retest in 24&48 hrs. Good luck, my fingers are crossed for you.

Both things are possible, so unfortunately only time will tell.

It's pointless telling you to stop testing, but maybe try to stick to one brand of test to give a fairer day to day comparison?

After my miscarriages it took me about 8 weeks to get back to normal. I would have sporadic bleeding and no ovulation for the first month after MC (was using daily OPKs) but everyone is different. I did fall pregnant again the first time I ovulated both times.

Sorry about your mc. It is possible to become pregnant without having a period after a mc. When are you due your period? If you feel fine I'd give a couple of days and test again and if positive give your epu or a call so they can check your hcg levels and rule out anything else. Try not to worry.xxx

I also have no idea about my cycle now. I logged the first day of bleeding as cd1 on my app and that has predicted my next af is due in 3 days. Making my cycle longer from 28 to 31 days.
I know I should be patient and wait to see if the weeks increase. I'm just so confused and excited and nervous etc. Is it even possible to conceive before having a proper af?

@Everybodyfednobodydead yes it is possible to conceive immediately after mc. I conceived after first period post mc but some women have conceived without having a period in between. You're right to take first day of mc as cd1.

Apologies. I have cross posted with the replies. Thank you replying. I really wanted to wait for af so this situation wouldn't happen but we were careless after some drinks. My app does say I should ovualte 2 days after the date we slept together but again this is all based on incorrect period dates. I will try and wait and use the same brand as pp suggested

God our bodies can be cruel. Ended up telling my partner about the positve and then had spotting when I went to the toilet. I'm relieved in a way that my body is getting back to normal but also gutted. This is our second miscarriage this year. First one Christmas eve 2019 followed by a blue light hopsital visit in January and surgery due to retained products. Took me a while to ttc again and was lucky to catch so quick but then that ended aswell.
Oh well wine for me tonight and all the chocolate

I'm sorry op. I've had three losses and it always hurts xxx

Everybodyfednobodydead · 30/11/2020 17:21

Just an update in case anyone with the same problem finds this thread. After a small episode of spotting I had nothing else. All strip tests appear to be getting darker and my digital had changed to 2-3 weeks this morning. Will make a gp appointment but I'm quietly confident that this is a new pregnancy and I have been extremely lucky. Just an anxious wait now to see if it sticks
