Pregnant 7 weeks after birth?

My DD is 7 weeks old today. Stupidly had sex when she was 3 weeks old. And a few times after that. The last 2 days I’ve bled very heavily, then today it’s stopped pretty much. Randomly took a test this morning and it’s come up positive, very faint. Could I be pregnant? What do I do? The bleeding a threw me off massively as if I am pregnant does that mean I’ve had a miscarriage? I have no clue what to do from here seems as I can never get an appointment at the GP now because all the appointments are always taken. I know you can have leftover HCG after pregnancy but surely not after 7 weeks?

Yes you could very well be pregnant, I caught when my eldest was 6 weeks old and I now have 2 teens with a 10 month and a half month age gap.

I’d book in with your dr to have it confirmed, just call the surgery and I am sure they will squeeze you in .

It does happen … I was at school with two girls, one with a September birthday and one with July.
