Pregnant 9 weeks after c section?!

I've just had my first baby with c section 9 weeks ago.
She was conceived on one round of letrozel since I have PCOs.
I'm exclusively breastfeeding and me and my partner had sex one time at 6 weeks post partum, unprotected.
I did two FRER yesterday and both came up positive although faint.
Did a electronic this morning said non pregnant but when I opened it up there was two lines although faint.

Can I really be pregnant?! Or could it be due to breastfeeding some how, or pregnancy hormones since before even if it's 9 weeks ago since I gave birth?!

@SOFIE90 - I’d say it’s a positive test and unlikely to be leftover hormones from your previous pregnancy. Good luck with everything x

I just feel like it's 3 weeks ago we did the deed and I feel like it would be a strong positive by now?

I was pregnant 11 weeks after a c-section. Which turned out to be ectopic due to the scarring in my womb.
I lost a tube.
Any bleeding, pain or brown discharge, or if you just don't feel right, get seen ASAP.

My periods returned 12 weeks after having DD and I was exclusively breastfeeding. Say you were similar, you’d have ovulated just before meaning it’s totally possible to be pregnant while breastfeeding. My midwife forced the pill on my at 6 weeks PP but I didn’t need it as took me months to want anything other than sleep in bed 🤦🏻‍♀️

My 4th and 5th babies are 12 months apart, both c-sections. So close but not quite as close as yours OP. I didn't have any complications during pregnancy although the birth was difficult due to a failed induction. They are 7 and 6 now.

You would be discharged from your midwife now I think but try speak to your Health Visitor if you can get advice or even an appointment as early as you can with your GP through them.

Tentative congratulations op! Hopefully you have a nice clear answer tomorrow.

I got pregnant easily while breastfeeding a baby a hundred times a day exclusively.
You’ve been a bit silly considering you can’t get pregnant soon after birth. Good luck anyway! Consult with the doctor ASAP though

Breastfeeding is NOT contraception.
You had unprotected sex 6 weeks after a csection...of course pregnancy was a risk!
Best of luck to you.

That’s a pretty strong line on your test, I’m surprised the digital gave you a not pregnant with a line like that.

Congrats OP. My friend has two 11 months apart, both planned Caesarians (though not a second planned pregnancy!) and no issues.

Update 😬
I've done two more clear blue and it's not getting stronger rather weaker!! So I feel 99% sure I'm not pregnant! 🙏🙏
And I must say I feel relieved!!

Have you had a negitive yet OP?
How's baby going, are you getting much sleep?

Sometimes the further on you get, the lighter they can get. It seems strange to be left over hormones this far on. I'd be contacting your GP if I was you as normally it only stays positive that long if something is left over
