Hi, just looking for some advice,
So I found out on the 1st of February I was pregnant but on the 8th of March I woke up just not feeling right at all so I went to the hospital to which they told me I was having a missed miscarriage which obviously was heartbreaking. I chose to let nature do it course and was hoping it would come away on its own but over a week went by and it hadn't so I booked into for medical management on the 19th of March, I bled for 3 weeks solid but it got lighter on some days etc so wasn't anything to worry about.. I am still Bleeding right now but it's more of a brown discharge.
Anyways I really want to be pregnant so I have been taking ovulation tests since the 6th of April & it's been saying every day I'm ovulating but I'm so confused because I didn't think you could ovulate this long, is there maybe something wrong with the tests? Or I'm so confused so any help or advice would be helpful please.
Thank yous

Are you getting a faint line and assuming your ovulating (i did this and it’s easy to read them like that)

My friend said your line needs to be the same colour as the control that is when you are ovulating. It should start to get darker the close you get to ovulating

Have you had a negative pregnancy test since your miscarriage? Some ovulation tests pick up hcg and show as positive from that rather than ovulation.
If you haven't had a negative test it's possible the miscarriage wasn't complete and you may need to return to the hospital for a scan.

Is it a solid line?

I found out I was pregnant using ovulation strips, as some women release the same hormone during pregnancy (and periods). Have you had the all clear that everything has passed correctly? I think that’s worth getting - it sounds like something other than ovulation is being picked up, if you’re getting strong lines every day.

You might still have hcg hormones in you which can show positive on an ovulation test. Might be better waiting for your first period before starting the ovulation tests. When you do start doing them start the day after ur period and test twice a day so you don’t miss the surge...some peoples only last a few hours xx

OPKs always show 2 lines but the test line needs to be as dark as the control line to be positive, is that what you're seeing? Can you post a pic of them?

No, I'm using the clear blue ones so I'm getting the smiley face which means LH surge and then when I take the wee test out the 2 lines are just the same darkness x

Yeah, I've had a negative test after the miscarriage, it must maybe be hormone levels then

I think this is what it is because I am getting a negative test result x
