Positive Pregnancy test after early miscarriage

[Mommy2CalebnAidan]

Okay here is the history...
My first day of my real last period was 10/14 that resulted in a pregnancy that didn't take. I had an ultrasound on the 28th because I was cramping and had a brownish discharge... The ultrasound showed that my uturas (sp) was at a normal size and there were no signs of pregnancy... So from there I had to go have my blood drawn to prove that I was pregnant before... there was low level of Hgc (? is that right) in my blood... That was on the 28 and 30 of November.

Today I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive.... Could it still be showing positive from the miscarriage before... or could I really be pregnant all ready???? I think that with my nerves I also pee'd on the test too long.. I will take another one as soon as I need to pee pee again...

Thanks ladies!

I had a similar issue last week, I was also having some bleeding/spotting. My HCGs continued to rise. The on Saturday nite I started having bad cramps. I thought it was because maybe I overdid it that day. It started getting worse so I went to the hospital at one AM. They did a sonogram and at 6 am I was having surgery to remove the fetus from my flallopian tube. They did not see anything in my uterus after they did the sonogram but because of my cramps they decided to have liprospic ( sp?) surgery and found that I was having an etopic pregnancy - which is why my HCGs were still rising. If I did not go the hospital my tube would have burst and I could have died - dont want to scare you but that could be another reason. I would have them check it out.

Today I am pretty sore and sick from the pain medicine - I will not be able to try again they said for 4 months.... very sad about that.

I am sorry to hear that.  Keep trying.  I got pregnant right after I miscarried -- 2 weeks.  It might be a late christmas present for you.

Take care sweetie,

This is a question to MandaJo111.  I am new here but 2 weeks ago i had and early miscarriage it was right before my 6 weeks.  But for the past 3 or 4 days i have been very nausea.  I took a test yesterday but it was negative, and i know that my levels have dropped to under 5 (about 3 days after miscarriage).  My question is how soon did you find out that you were pregnant after your miscarriage.  Did you take a home pregnancy test that came up positive.  If so how soon did you take it?

I think I answered you up above, but I wanted to appologize for not seeing this post from you until today.  

If it has only been two weeks, I would not test yet.  I would wait until about 4 weeks post m/c to test.  When I took mine it was about 4 or 4 1/2 weeks past my m/c, and it showed up.  I actually took the test with regular urine on one day and it was faint.  The next day I took the other one (I always buy a two pack), and the second one I took with first morning urine (which is what you should use to get the highest level of HCG) it was a little darker than the first was.  

I know it is hard to wait.  I was surprised I was able to wait as long as I did.  I finally couldn't wait anymore.  And I am glad I didn't.  

Good luck to you hun.  

I am always happy to answer any questions.  

Take care,

Amanda

Hello everyone! My last period was Dec. 2nd, 2005. I tested positive at home on Jan. 1st, 2006. Then I started bleeding  (red blood) for the next 2 1/2 days - not quite enough to soak a pad but enough that I did use a tampon a couple of times. On the 4th - I stopped bleeding altogether. I was very upset b/c of course I know red blood is not a good sign in early pregnancy. I didn't have any cramping though so i thought maybe I was ok. I went to the doctor for blood tests on both Januray 4th & again on the 6th. When I called on the 5th for some information - I was told my progesterone was 3.8 & hCG was 48 & that I was most likely miscarrying. Well, it is now Sunday night, Jan. 8th, and I will probably hear back from them tomorrow with results from Friday's test. Just out of curiosity & because I have been so DEAD tired (taking 1-2 hours naps for the past few days) - I bought a pregnancy test & it showed positive, still. Does anyone know what this could mean? Is the hormone just still floating around in there? Is there ANY hope that I could still be pregnant & have it be healthy? I am just a ball of nerves & emotion.
