    Miscarried 5 and a half weeks ago but could I be pregnant again
    Hi everyone, I need help badly! I went for my anomaly scan on 6/2 where I was told my baby had died so on 8/2 I went into hospital where they gave me the tablet so my baby entered the world naturally. I bled after for 5 days and began having sex again from the 6th day. 4 weeks after my m/c I done a 2 clearblue tests and I tested positive with very faint lines. Now it's a week and a half later after tests and I'm starting 2 feel pregnant but I done a cheap test from poundland and it came bac negative. Could I be pregnant again? Or is it my imagination playing tricks on me?

    Hello,

    I miscarried on Feb 5 bleed for about 7 days. I have not got my period as of yet.
    Around the 20 of Feb I started feeling pregnant again. Took a test on the 25 negative. I thought maybe this is how you feel after a miscarried. I waitd a couple of weeks and took 2 more test, both were positive. So now I'm thinking I'm pregnant. So yes my Dear you can be pregnant this soon. As long as you did not have an D&C you should be fine (God willing) Good Luck!!

    I just can't believe you only bled for 5 days, when I had my miscarriage it was like three weeks to a month. Yes you can get pregnant just like after having a baby woman are more fertile. Good Luck to the both of you!

    Hii

    I miscarried in January and it took me almost 8 weeks to get my period again. I felt pregnant again after I miscarried. I took many tests. My midwife told me these would not be accurate because there can be left over hcg giving you a positive result. If you took them and got a positive and then now got a negative most likely you are not. However everyone is different, you could be so just live as if you are and wait a bit and maybe go get a blood test to make sure. Goodluck and sorry for your loss

    If your tests say positive then please go to the doctors,

    When you have a miscarriage your body still contains the human chorionic gondratrophin if spelt right? Anyway hcg for short, this is basically what tells the test you are pregnant,

    Doing a pregnancy test after having a baby can still bring positive results even if you are not pregnant, however you could well be pregnant...

    A pregnancy test can in many cases still say pregnant for up to 6 month after having a baby and in many cases it does not state this on the test information,

    Please see a doctor who will do a test and then send you for a scan to either confirm or rule out the pregnancy...

    Good luck and sorry for your loss

    There is a strong possibility that you are prgnant again. Go to your doctor and get a test done instead of using the home test. That's the only way to be sure.

    There is a strong possiblitly but after a miscarrige your supta wait 6 weeks to become sexuly active again the same as if u where to have had a full term baby. To advoid infection. And I know when I miscarried my son at 5 1/5 months I kept a high hormoan level for about 2 months. So I would see a dr for a blood test. And remember that if u are pregnant that u are at a higher risk for having another so seek prenatal care asap if u are. Wish u the best of luck

    You could still have had a possible reading from the prior miscarriage but maybe the cheap test wasn't able to pick up the faint hcg levels of an early pregnancy. I miscarried on 10/7 but now I maybe again? I'm not sure getting the signs will do a test again.
