Help !!! I think I’m pregnant but please read !!!!

[Kokobeware]

Hello everyone .. I had a miscarriage recently and went to the OB/GYN to make sure It was complete which it was . She said I’d get my period in the middle of January (mind you it’s the 8th so almost the middle) . Here’s the issue . When I went back to the last follow up she had said my levels had gone down and my tests were coming out very very faint which she expected (mind you this is about 2 weeks ago MAYBE 3 don’t quote me on that 3rd week lol) so given the info SHE told me I wanted to take a test just to see because if it was faint “2-3 weeks ago “ on her pregnancy test , it should be completely negative right now right ? Well here’s where it’s tricky … I’ve been taking every brand tests I could get my hands on and they’re all blazing positive. Not squinters they are all visible and they are getting darker each time I take them . What I do know is those doctors office tests are very very cheap because they don’t spend big bucks on them . Those dr tests are designed to read results after you’ve basically missed your period they are not like the high brand (first response , clear blue and some store brand tests ) which can read low hcg. Sooo I go to the dr and tell them that I’ve been having symptoms ( I didn’t tell them I took a pregnancy test lol I just said I’m having symptoms ) so they tested me and guess what BFN!!!! I’m like wtf ? I’m blaming that on me drinking and Pissing so much before I even took the test and as I mentioned those tests are soooooo cheap. The moral of this story is do you think I could have a new pregnancy? There would be no way I’m still getting BFP and having symptoms at this point right ? My ultrasound showed my uterus was clear and the pregnancy was complete and I stopped bleeding . However she said I’d be getting my period soon and I feel like I’m pregnant . Please give your opinion.

You don’t say when you had the miscarriage which is the important piece of information here.
If the loss was 3 weeks ago or more then I’d say it sounds like a new pregnancy presuming that’s a possibility for you. Is there any reason you wouldn’t expect to be pregnant?

Sorry for your loss op. When did you have unprotected sex?

And when was the most recent test at the doctor? Sorry I didn’t completely follow you’re recently having strong positives at home but one at the doctor was negative - but you didn’t mention to them that you were having positive tests? Are the home tests positive since you were seen at the doctor?
If they continue to be positive you really must get seen - if it’s the same pregnancy it could be outside of the uterus so be aware of signs of an ectopic, more likely it’s a new pregnancy.

I’d make contact with the ob/gyn and ask them for an early scan to make sure it’s not the same pregnancy result coming up.
im sorry for your previous loss but I’d check just in case.

You’re right … okay the actual bleeding started November 20th 2022. I went for 2 follow ups AFTER that , the first one was was December 26 2022 and the second one was a week after that . I know that because I went on a Monday and I went the following Monday again and that’s when she said my levels had dropped , uterus was nice and clean , and my pregnancy test was VERY FAINT which she did say was normal. BUT why am I getting BFP ? Even those dollar tree tests are positive !!!! And you know how those things are lol the dollar store tests are darker than the first response lol the bottom cheapie one I took Friday.

If the first visit was the 26th and then you went the week after then thag was only last week (the second) sorry but seems more likely that it’s still higher levels.

From my past experience (in uk) the doctors tests are more sensitive and can pick it up quite quickly.

My doctor told me my uterus was clear and my levels had dropped . They took blood twice to see if it was going down and it was … she said on her test it was so faint she actually waited and squinted which actually surprised me because those techs that do it for the doctors won’t squint or put any energy into that if they don’t see it right then and there they will conclude negative when in fact it could be positive just really early in pregnancy . They always do that here . I’ve seen techs tell girls it’s negative when In fact the tests are very cheap and aren’t designed to detect low levels of hormone.

I had the miscarriage November 20th . That’s when the actual bleeding started .

I don't want to give you false hope, but I would think such BFPs are actual BFPs. It's definitely possible that you could've conceived somewhere after your first check-up and would've been too early on to be detected by tests/scans.

Potentially your Dr/ OBGYN could help, or you can wait a week or 2 and keep testing and see how the lines are. I think considering your circumstances it would be best to be checked up on.

I'm very sorry for your loss, and wish you the best with whatever happens x

I’d say you’re pregnant op

That’s what I’m thinking because the test would’ve definitely been negative by now . And each time I take them they get darker and darker depending on if I’ve had a lot to drink .

At this point i probably need to just rely on ultrasounds . Because she said my period would come in the middle of the month .
im giving my period until the 20th to come if I don’t see it then I need to go see a doctor again . Lol

Your follow up at the Dr was only 6 days ago and you were getting a feint negative then. This could easily either be from the previous pregnancy or from a new pregnancy. Have you been having unprotected sex?

I just took a test literally right now and it’s BFP …. I’m so confused . The reason I’m so worried is because I don’t want there to be tissue from my last pregnancy still inside . She said I was good but how the hell could I get pregnant that fast after a miscarriage . I haven’t even gotten my first period yet . She said the middle of the month .

I took a test at the doctor a week ago. She said it was so faint it was barely there so it should’ve been negative by now .. right? I mean I barely had hormone at that time . I took one 5 min ago it was bfp I attached a pic of the test I just took .

Unfortunately I did because my doctor said I most likely wouldn’t ovulate this cycle …. So I didn’t take any precautions. In my head no ovulation means no pregnancy …. These tests are getting too dark.

So I was having positives for 9 weeks after my miscarriage on first responses bit not on doc's tests. They did gradually get fainter (I did get checked out for retained tissue etc.) In fact I even got a period while still getting positive tests and then got pregnant that cycle - I never actually got a negative one.
I would ask them to check for an ectopic pregnancy if I were you just to be sure.

Sorry that is not much help as it doesn't answer any questions!

Any update?
