False positive 5.5 weeks after MVA?

[Geriatrixia]

I had a MMC over Christmas and had an MVA 5.5 weeks ago. I’ve had sore boobs, mild nausea and exhaustion the last few days, and just had a positive pregnancy test.

Any idea if it could still be hormones hanging around from the MMC?

Did you get a negative test after the MVA? The hospital asked me to take a test two/three weeks after mine and even rang to confirm that it was negative.

If you've had a negative since the procedure then this must be a new pregnancy.

No, the hospital didn’t ask me to do a test after the MVA - kicking myself slightly that I didn’t do that now!

Could you take another test in a couple of days and see if the line is getting darker? If it is then that would suggest your hormone levels are increasing, so likely to be a new pregnancy. Fingers crossed!

If you haven't had a negative test I would call EPU. I had regular bloods taken due to the complicated nature of my loss and I had HCG in my system for months. I hope its a new pregnancy for you!

I’m sorry things were so complicated for you @LuluF91

I called EPU and they double checked my notes and said there was no way anything could be left - it might be a new pregnancy, so I’ve to wait seven days, then re-test and if it’s still positive they’ll bring me in for an early scan.
