Positive Pregnancy test Nearly 5 weeks after erpc

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on this one. I had a missed miscarriage and this was found at my 13 week scan. I had an erpc and it will be 5 weeks on friday since that day. This was such a loss and I was so desperate to get pregnant again. We said we would wait until I had 1 period to try agin but did not use protection during this time. I only bled for one day after the erpc but doctor said that was fine. Last night I dis a pregnancy test and it was a real strong positive. Any ideas what this could mean, if anything?????????

    that does sound like you could be pg again! don't want to get your hopes up too much just in case but if you say it was strong then it does sound like it is positive... i would go to your docs to check. do you have any idea if you have ov'd? i know people vary but i ov'd 14 days after my ERPC.

    fingers crossed for you!!! xxx

    I'm sorry I'm not gonna be any help but I had an erpc 12 days ago and I've just had a very faint pos+ on a pg test.
    I did a test cos i wanted to see a neg- and hope it would help me move on but the the + is really confusing me too.
    We've not bd'ed for weeks so I don't think it can be anything to be excited about.

    Hope you get a answer, I'll keep my eye on your post

    Thanks for your replies. Its so confusing. I do not know when I ovul'd. It would help me if I did. So many things going through my mind. I guess I just want it to be so really badly. Going to the docs is good advice. I feel like I have spent so much of this year there. I went before we started trying to check my health, when I got pregnant, again after miscarriage as I was worried. I also wish I wasn't such a worrier!!! Will keep you posted!!!

    Firstly, sorry for your loss,
    Since you had a MMC, your body would still have been producing HCG. I know the further into the pregnancy a miscarriage happens the longer it takes for the HCG to leave the system, however 5 weeks after the ERPC does seem like a long time to still be producing HCG. I also know that a woman is more fertile after a MC. I would say go to the doctors and take the test with you. Theyll hopefully take some bloods and check your levels and then maybe send you down to your EPU for a scan to see whats going on. I pray you get the answer you wish for.xx

    Hey All,
    Well, Since I last been on I began to get some brown discharge (sorry if TMI). I was so worried. I went to doc and they simpy told me to rest. Have rested for a full week and it has stopped. I had first blood test last week and due to have second blood test on Wednesday and then I get to see the doctor on Monday the 13th for the results. I feel like I am absolutely clock watching. Have taken pregnancy tests every couple of days and all still saying positive so here's hoping..........................

    Who would have thought there was so much waiting involved when we first started trying??? First there's the excited wait to see if we had conceived month after month, then for many of us it was the tormenting wait during the mmc phase (which is where I am at right now), then the distress wait afterwards to find out when you finally test -ve after the mc / erpc to be able to try again. I never knew about any of this until I landed on this forum today. I thought it was hard enough just waiting to know if we'd conceived each month.
    What challenges us girls, only makes us stronger.

    Is it really true then that you are more fertile after a mc? I may feel differently next week but right now I feel I want to start trying again straight away as soon as it's possible after my ordeal is over with the bleeding. I'm 33 and hoping to have 2 or 3 children so time is not on my side since I am now losing my first one. When can you expect to first ovulate after having an erpc?
    Sorry, I really am new to this and the doctors havent told me anything yet.

    Be sure to keep us posted Jo, sending you lost of +ve vibes. Rest up good and try to distract yourself until next Monday if possible!! We are all here for you no matter what.

    Can anyone help with this?

    I had an EPRC on 29th Sep after discovering that i had mmc. I hope to try to conceive again as soon as possible but got mixed information. The advice given by medical staff varied from waiting until after one natural bleed (one period) to up to three months. How soon have any of you got pregnant again after a mmc? And have these been successfull pregnancies? Is there likely to be further complications if you don't wait a minimal time?
