False positive or am i really pregnant??

I had a miscarriage and naturally passed the miscarriage on Oct.6-21st of this year. Around 4 days to a week later, I was hospitalized due to a left ovarian cyst that burst and caused other complications. I was put on medication for the cyst to go away and as well as the other complications that came along with it.
Well, now I just took two pregnancy test (the first response kind and the clear blue with weeks indicator kind) and both came out positive. The clear blue test results came out as 'pregnant' with '3+' on it. I'm just wondering if I could really be pregnant or is it just the cyst burst problem that I had triggering a false positive??

The thing that kinda gets me is the ovarian cyst part.. I was looking up online what can trigger false positive results on a preg. test and it says cysts can but I looked more into it and it has to be a certain kind?  So its kind of confusing. I'm planning to get things checked this weekend.

If you had a pregnancy two months ago I don't think the hcg levels would be high enough to register as 3 weeks pregnant.
I had a miscarriage two years ago and had a faint positive 6 weeks later on a hpt. When I went for a blood test I was told the hcg levels were too low to be a new pregnancy.
Sounds like you're pregnant....! Go to the doctor and get a blood test to confirm.
