bfp without AF after m/c?

[sherii]

Hi all. I had a natural miscarriage at 6w5d a month ago - spotting started November 29. Everything appeared to progress normally, and my bleeding stopped completely after 8 days. I tracked CM and appeared to ovulate at what would be the appropriate time for a normal cycle - CD 14-16 ish. I'm now 3 days before AF should be due (if everything returns to normal immediately). I've been feeling strange for about a week, and my lower belly/uterus area feels like it did before I miscarried. Full feeling, light twinges and pressure etc..

I wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to test, but took an FRER tonight because waiting is the worst. And I sear to god there's the faintest shadow.

My question is, could this be leftover hcg from my previous miscarriage? Or am I looking at the beginning of my second BFP in 2 months...

How long does it take for HCG to drop back to 0 after an early loss, and should I be running on the assumption that this could be the remnant of that loss?

Honestly it could be either. All you can do is wait and see. I was still getting positive tests 4 weeks after my D&C. In retrospect I don't think I ovulated during that time, but I did have symptoms that made me think I did. I even felt pregnant again near the end, but I wasn't. That said, some women do ovulate again right away and can get pregnant immediately.

I had a miscarriage on the same day as you. I got a BFP this morning too.

I tested a week after my miscarriage each day for a week and they were all neg. So for me it must be anew pregnancy. Id test again tomorrow x
