Not sure what to think. Tests, tests and more tests!

Hi guys! Hopefully this is the right place to post but it has been almost 5 weeks since my D&E and in an attempt to get to know my body I started temping and the last few days I took OPKs on a hunch 🙄 the bright pink are internet cheapies and I honestly don't think they are the greatest quality. The lighter pink opks are rite aid brand. Today I got an insanely positive rite aid brand. Could I be ovulating 5 weeks after a D&E or is it just a surge leading to AF? I've never had unmedicated cycles and we are wanting to try again. Its all just so confusing!! Any insight would be amazing.

5 weeks is still pretty soon post d+e to be ovulating. Totally possible but unlikely. Have your doctors been monitoring your blood hcg levels to see when they hit 0?

We had our follow up a few days ago and they said we were good to try again but I never had bloods drawn. They did a urine dip and it was negative.

After my d and e i was still showing extended lh surges too, but i never ovulated. How many days has it been elevated (postivie tests)? Its also quite possibld you are ovulating! My tests showed negative hcg 4 weeks after my d and e but i also had a period between. Did you?

No period. I never get a period on my own so who knows if I ever will. I've has three days of elevated tests so far.

I'm so confused. I don't want to take meds to induce a period if there is a chance my body may do this on its own.

At this point I'm just as confused!!! Perhaps its time to give the OB a ring? Just explain and see what her thoughts are at this time. This is the 4th day of elevated tests? Oh!!! I just thought of something, perhaps a possibility--- are the ovluation tests expired? The ones i buy from my local pharmacy expire after 30 days of opening. Ive never had tests expire that just show up positive myself personally, but I have heard of expired tests messing with others!
