We had a condom slip up on the 8th and I am just over 6 weeks postpartum.. no idea what my cycles are doing if anything, not exclusively breastfeeding.. anyway, went to my postpartum appointment today and the midwife had them draw blood to check for hcg.

So even though it's waay early I can't help but test so.. here is my test from this afternoon

I don't see anything on those. What outcome are you hoping for?
 
6 weeks post partum? OMG...not seeing anything. Hope you get the outcome u want though...
 
Thank you all, I see a vvvvvf line on the 2nd picture and in person but that could be just a shadow line. It's early, the midwife said it was even early for the blood test but i couldn't help but test :dohh:

I know, 6 weeks postpartum yikes.. the condom tore a hole in it! I am hoping not pregnant but we also know another baby would be a blessing..

I had really bad SPD to where I could barely walk in the end of my last pregnancy, sometimes I couldn't walk at all, so I am afraid of getting pregnant again so soon. We wanted to wait at least 4 years before having more. The other night my SPD pain came back out of nowhere, I was stuck in bed, I couldn't walk or sit up and since then the mild associated pain has been back which kind of scares me that I could be pregnant again.

Also since the birth my cervix has been super low and long and firm..but when I had my pelvic exam yesterday it had changed completely to high and soft and i even had some bleeding from the exam which isn't common for me so.. a little nervous about those signs.

Also went from pumping 3-4 oz to not even being able to pump 1 oz in the last couple of days.
 
The pumping thing could just be to do with your supply regulating. Cervical position could mean you are ovulating. There might be something thin on the test but I'm not sure...
 
I agree, I thought about ovulating with the cervix changes and bleeding
 
Got my blood results back.
At 6-7 days after possible conception my level was -2 and anything below -5 is not pregnant.. so they probably will have me test again in a week since that one could have been done too early, but so far not pregnant
 
Soo after I had that blood test I've had brown spotting for 3 days with one gush of red.. it has stopped now. If this was implantation bleeding, when should I test again?
 
I went ahead and took a test..

I feel like I see something is there anything IRL?
 
I don't see anything....you're around 6 weeks pp you said? Could the bleeding be a little leftover from birth? Or do you think it's something else entirely? Just wondering because it happened to me pp (bleeding stopped then a couple weeks later got some random bleeds here and there).
How many dpo would you guess you are if it is in fact implantation bleeding?
 
In all honesty, in my opinion it is probably your cycle making attempts to kick back in after the baby. I don't think I see anything on the tests sorry.
 
I just see shadow iffy anything irl. No idea on dpo, just that it's been 10 days since the sex. I agree that my body is probably trying to get back to normal, but I can't seem to relax until I know for sure. I am still testing early, plus I always get positives like a week later than everyone else :/

I took a different test and do see the faintest line in person within the time frame.. soo light though, nothing promising.

Also it's not unusual to have vv faint lines at 6 weeks pp. it could be your hormones still lingering somewhat.... keep testing only time will tell!
