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

Oh congratulations! Thank you for that, I’ll give an update in the morning

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
