Not sure if I can trust the positive HPT I got tonight

[eme]

Hey ladies,

I know I haven't been active in this particular thread (but I have been in other ones and I'm copying and pasting this from the TTC after Loss forum just to get your thoughts as well).

A little background: MMC was confirmed March 6th, 2014. Spotting started March 19th; full on bleeding followed by spotting March 23-31.

I never took a HPT to confirm negative after the miscarriage but had multiple follow-up ultrasounds that confirmed I had shed all the lining of my uterus and had none of the pregnancy left.

DH and I were NTNP afterward since we were told to not try to get pregnant for 2 or 3 more months. Since I wasn't really paying attention to ovulation, etc...not temping or OPK's, etc when I had ovulation pain on April 3rd it really caught me off guard and made me worried because DH and I had dtd the day before and of ovulation.

Well I'm now officially almost 5 weeks past the start of the bleeding of my mmc, 7 weeks since the confirmation of the end of my baby's heartbeat. I've had a lot of symptoms the past week or so and I felt like it was possible that "maybe" I was pregnant. Welp........took a dollar store hpt tonight with VERY little urine...so little I had to tilt the cup in order to dip the stick into it fully....and within seconds a VERY distinct second line showed up. If this was residual HCG from my recent pregnancy wouldn't it have been faint by now? Not such a distinct line?

I'm actually nervous that my OB will be upset with me for becoming pregnant again so soon haha What have your experiences been? I know that the only way to know for sure is to have my levels checked at 48hr intervals...I just wanted to know if any of you still had residual positives 5+ weeks after your miscarriages or is it okay for me to get my hopes up a little?

****also, it was confirmed 3 weeks ago that I passed all pregnancy tissue as well as the lining of my uterus so I'm thinking it rather unlikely that my hcg levels from my last pregnancy would still be lingering with all of that taken into consideration

It's not showing as dark in the picture as it is in person...I'll try to upload a better picture but for now this is what I have

I definitely see a line! Without having that confirmation for your previous levels returning to 0 it is tough to say if it is a new pregnancy or not. I had hcg in my system for over 6 weeks with one of my losses. Hopefully the line will get darker over the next couple of days. Good luck!
