Hello, it can take a while for your body to recover so you won't necessarily ovulate at the same time as you would do normally. I had two miscarriages last year. One in August and I got my period 4 weeks later which fitted with my usual cycle. I had a second miscarriage in December and conceived straight away. My miscarriage was on the 12th December and my estimated conception date was the week beginning first week of January. So I ovulated that time 1-2 weeks later than my usual cycle. This time around the pregnancy was successful and he's now one month.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in September and my last blood test on 10 sept showed my HCG had dropped to 8 and I was discharged from the EPC after it was agreed my body had dealt with things on its own. I also started bleeding on 10th September and this bleeding became heavier and finished approx 5 days later. I logged this as a period on my Flo app and it predicted my period was due around about now. It hasn’t started and I did a pregnancy test just to rule it out and it was positive. I’m really worried as I didn’t engage in sexual activity during ovulation as I wasn’t in the right head space and only started to engage in this again in the last 10 days or so but I definitely wasn’t in my fertile period and if I was it would be too early for a positive test. I’m so confused and worried in case there’s residual pregnancy matter remaining in my body. I’ve done an e-consult with my G.P and hope to hear from them tomorrow but I needed to get it out of my head as my husband is on a night shift.

Were you tracking ovulation? Miscarriages etc really mess with your menstrual cycle and people can often get pregnant very quick after a loss. If you had sex 8/9/10 days ago this could be a new pregnancy.

I would test again in a few days to see if there is lime progression

I do track it quite religiously and I know we were active in my non-fertile days. If it’s a new and healthy pregnancy then great but something about how it’s come about just feels off. I’ll definitely re-test.
