Could this be the start of a new pregnancy after MMC?

I had surgical management for an MMC 5 weeks ago, I was testing occasionally until I got what I thought was a negative pregnancy test. I started doing OPKs and got a positive one 12 days ago, my LP is usually 10 days so I thought I’d take a test just to check since AF hasn’t arrived yet & I got this… could this be the start of a new pregnancy or still leftover HCG from the last? I know time will tell but curious for opinions, thanks!

I see a line, can’t say if it’s positive from a new pregnancy or from the mc but to give you hope - I got pregnant 2 weeks after my mc surgery, positive test 2 weeks after that, I believed it was positive from the mc still but I’m now holding a 4 week old baby! Everything crossed for you

I’m sorry for your loss, and got my fingers crossed for positive news for you.

I was still testing positive after surgical management, my EPU did bloods every other day to monitor whether my HCG was dropping. It’s worth giving them a call to see if they offer this
