Question

how long after miscarriage at 5 weeks do you still have hcg in your urine?

Okay I tested positive on Feb 14th a day after missing my period miscarried on the 20th of Feb .. so it was really early ... no period this month but ovulated I'm on cycle day 31 today and got a positive test ... is it possible I'm pregnant again already or is the hcg still lingering in my system

Sounds like you're pregnant again! Essentially your body has had about 1 month to get rid of the HCG and being at 5 weeks with a natural miscarriage I'm guessing your levels probably were not super high. I had a MC on March 12th at 6w but baby measured closer to 5w. My HCG levels were low to begin with but I took a pregnancy test this past Monday just to test if there was any HCG in my system and it was very negative, not even a slight line and that's only a week after MC. So for you at 1 month later you should be starting any day or very possibly already pregnant.

On a side note, do you know when you ovulated? Was it different from you previous cycles? I'm trying to figure out when I may ovulate this time, like you I haven't had a true period following my MC but hear you are very fertile and have good chances of carrying after a MC. Most things I read say about 2 weeks after the day you began bleeding is when you will O. Best of luck I am eager to hear the outcome for you.

Have you tried a digital test? I don't think they are as sensitive and I wouldn't think it would still show pregnant this long after. Your doctor cant even do HCG bloodwork before then?

I've never taken one of those before that's a great idea I will grab one todaydo they have to be first morning urine or can I just do a hold

Well first morning is the most concentrated, doesn't have to be then necessarily. I would think if you did a hold and it came back positive then I would probably believe it. That doesn't mean you're not if you get a negative on a hold, just might not be showing up yet. Also, just had a thought, if you test again in a few days and the line is getting darker then you're pregnant, and if it fades then it is probably residual.
