Pregnancy test advice

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm so confused at the moment. I had a missed miscarriage so had the suction vac but had to have 2 as it wasn't all removed. I've had intercourse since but haven't had a period. Done a clear blue and it was positive 1-2 weeks but I've done a cheap test and that's negative. I just hope that all the mm has definitely been removed. I'm so confused, wondering if anyone has been through this and what the outcome was.

I am so sorry OP, that sounds so confusing and stressful. And I am sorry for your mm. How long has it been since you had your mm and procedure? I guess it's possible to for you to have ovulated and fallen pregnant before your first period - but equally possible for them to maybe have missed something, but after two procedures it does feel less likely... had they scanned you at all?

Hi op.
I always got a positive pregnancy test for up to 7 weeks after a complete miscarriage and I was not pregnant.
It’s just that pregnancy hormones hang around for a very long time.

I'd keep testing. If tests get lighter, it's likely left over HCG from the MMC.
I'm currently 9 days post miscarriage (I had medical management) and still getting a positive test.

@bubbleteateab thank you. My first procedure was the end of Nov and second was 2 weeks later that one was done under ultrasound. I'm so confused, I'm going to ring the epu and explain the situation and hopefully they can give me some advice

@Diditopknot I tested 3 weeks after the second op and that was negative but I used a cheap test

@LuckyWithMyLot I'm so sorry to hear this. I tested 3 weeks after the 2nd op and that was negative so I'm wondering if the clear blue are picking up old levels.

I think it's more likely a new pregnancy if you've had negative tests since your procedure. You'll just have to test again and see if the lines get darker

As the procedure was so long ago and you had a negative test since, it sounds like a new pregnancy to me.

@polkadotpixie @LuckyWithMyLot I'm hoping that's what it is but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. Thank you for your advice. I'll test again in a few days.

Think it could well be a new pregnancy. My ds2 was conceived after a miscarriage with no period in between.

bubbleteatea · 30/01/2022 18:28

Thanks OP. I agree with PP, if it's been this long after your procedure it could be a new pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you

Thank you all for your comments, think I'll leave it a few days and test again and then call epu for some advice
