Question

Left over HCG or New Pregnancy?

I had a miscarriage last month, on March 11th I was @ 200HCG, March 12th the miscarriage was confirmed, & March 16th the 'full miscarriage' happened (don't want to put TMI). I was told that the ultrasound shows that nothing was left & no D&C would be needed.

Since then I took a pregnancy test on April 17th which came back negative, then I've taken some since the 16th which have all come back positive and seem to be getting darker but still faint.

I know it's best to get looked at by a doctor, which I am going to.
I'm just confused & looking for other opinions, so the doctors don't make me feel dumb again, like when I thought I was having a miscarriage.. Which I was

If your doctor makes you feel dumb, try to find a better one. No doctor should make you feel this way and you have a right to ask all kinds of questions without being belittled, especially after such a loss.
I don't know the answer to your question nor do I have an opinion, so I did not vote. I think accurate HCG bloodtests will be way better than home pregnancy tests to bring clarity. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

If you had a negative followed by positives, then it is most likely a new pregnancy. Good luck!

I've seen you post this question a few times, unfortunately - we just don't know. It's possible there was some retained fetal tissue. Or it could be a new pregnancy. I think you need blood tests to see if the number is going up or down.
