Pregnancy after Miscarriage before receiving a period..is it possible?

I had a d&c on November 30 at 8-10 weeks.  I have been having unprotected sex for the past 4 weeks after my dr. told me it was okay at my 2 week followup appointment.  I have been cramping for the past 2 weeks but have not seen a period.  I also have sore, swollen breasts, backaches, and headaches.  I usually don't get positive test results until I am 3-4 weeks late.  Since I don't know when my period should be coming, is it possible I am pregnant?  I took a blood pregnancy test but the results won't be back until tomorrow.  It has been 5-6 weeks since my d&c.  What do you guys thing!

I was wondering the same thing. I had a miscarraige 10-30-07 4 weeks ago. My levels dropped from 150 to 70 to 40  to 16, but WENT UP to 33 down to 29. I haven't got my period yet. I bled for 2 weeks, after my miscarraige. I only had sex 2 times before my levels started going up. I want to know if I am pregnant. The last time I went to a different lab, so they are not sure what to tell me. Not all labs are the same, so I heard. Monday I have to take another test.

It does sound like you are pregnant again, as the hormones do stay in ure body for a short amount of time but the levels would have dropped from the previous pregnancy by now and not high enough to detect on a home test, so i would say good luck to you and you are most likely pregnant!! keep us posted xx

When I had my mc the dr told me you had to be at least at a 20 to get a + on hpt. So u probably are and yes it is very possible.  Good Luck!!

So if I took a test today and it was pregnant then ithe most i could be is a few weeks - does that sound like it could be possible?  Or is there some leftover hormones even though I was at 7?

I had a mc on july 7 never had a period and became pg.  that same month... I am now 12 w 1 d pg... good luck!!!
They couldn´t determine a due date until I had first u/s...  I didn´t get pg until sept 9th almost a month after the m/c since that threw my sistem all off.

I had a miscarriage on October12 and my Dr did blood work three times till i was at a level 7.  We have a had sex a few times but not tried to get pregnant.  I have not had a menstrual cycle yet.  Last week I took a home test and it was - and last night I took one and it was +.  This morning I took another + test.  Could I be pregant or leftover from the miscarriage?  I am so scared!

How did the Dr. determine your due date since your last period was really a miscarriage? Also, when was all the hcg out of your system. I jsut got results that the hcg was out by 2 weeks after my natural miscarriage.
thanks

It's possible, I'm 6 1/2 weeks pregnant after a m/c on 11/16.  I got pregnant about two weeks after the m/c started, never had af. Everything seems good so far.
