Question

How long after Fetal Demise delivery (vaginal birth) did HCG go down?(HPT warning)

I am 4 weeks post vaginal delivery of the loss of my pregnancy at 14 weeks. I was cleared for intercourse at 2 weeks post. Well of course, I was like a teenage girl, had a few drinks and slept with my husband (no offense teenagers and I know you don't have husbands) Well we have never conceived without Clomid, so we didn't use protection. I ended up testing yesterday 7dpo and today 8dpo and I got a positive. Is this "left over" HCG? or is this a new pregnancy?

Poll:
All HCG should be gone. (3 votes)
It is remaning hormone. (0 votes)
Congratulations, new pregnancy! (0 votes)

I guess it depends how positive the test is. 7 and 8dpo is really early so if its pretty dark then I'd assume its old hormone. Tough to say really, but if u can confirm O happened, then the hCG from ur loss would be gone and that would be a new pregnancy (u wont ovulate until hCG is below 5miu).
Very sorry for ur loss!

Ok, I just peed on a hpt to give u some type of reference point, strong urine w/ 2hr hold and my tests are stark white. I'm 4wks pp this Sunday...pretty safe to say that this would be a new bebe for u. U'll know for sure in a cpl days tho.
Best of luck!! =))

Agreed that it would be hard to say and definitely would make a difference if it's a strong positive or not. I would retest in a couple days and see if the line gets darker. GL!
