Miscarriage, Now Positive Pregnancy Test Help Please!!!?
I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. That was seven weeks ago. Then about four or five days ago I was sure my period was coming. I wiped and there was some light bleeding but really light, also the next morning I had some discharge but not much, then nothing, no period. I have also been having pregnancy like symptoms for the last couple of days. Feeling the way I did when I was pregnant the last time. I just took two pregnancy test and they turned positive right way! What do you guys think any chance I'm really pregnant or still trying to finish this miscarriage thing :( I'm going to call my doctor but just wanted to see what you guys think, Thanks!!!

I too had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy. I am now 8 wks along and sacred to death! After my miscarriage, my hormone levels were below 10 within 2 weeks, so your hormone levels would definitly have dropped off by now from the m/c. So my judgement would be that you are pregnant again! Congrats!!! The first reaction that I had was being scared to death that another m/c would occur. And after 3 healthy pregnancies already, I was already confused by the miscarriage. After my research, I found that it is very unlikely to have 2 m/c's in a row. Unless you have some genetic issues. And guess what? We saw a heartbeat last week! I want to wish you luck,and I will keep you, your baby, and your family in my prayers! I am sure that this pregnancy will go good for you!
Wow, that's a tough call. It's hard to say either way. Sorry, but your doctor will perform some tests. It could be that there are some hormones left from the miscarriage, but a lot of times those would be gone by now. I know my words aren't very helpful, because it really could be either way.
EDIT: The first answerer is incorrect. After a miscarriage is done, the HCG stays around in your body for a while. It's the same thing as a woman who just gave birth. Honestly, what most women do after a miscarriage is take tests about once a week until they read negative, signifying that there is no more HCG left from the previous pregnancy.
Congratulations. Most women don't know that you are very fertile after having a baby and miscarrying. Your doctor will be able to confirm a pregnancy with a blood test. Good luck.
Congratulations! Seven weeks is enough for your system to recuperate from the MC you'd undergone. Go to your doctor and ask him/her for confirmation and advice. I suggest that you stop worrying because you're just stressing yourself. Stress is not a good factor when you are trying to conceive. So do somethings to relax and make your body prepared for the baby that will come along.
