7w PGAL - but ovulated and got pregnant without a period post loss

I had a MC right after Christmas. It was an unanticipated (but not unwanted) pregnancy and ended in a loss. The loss was early in the pregnancy, maybe 5-6 weeks along. I had been patiently waiting to get my period back - anticipating that I could wait until then before DH and I decided whether we truly wanted another baby. But ...
A few weeks ago, I started feeling pregnant again. Sore breasts, nauseous, exhausted. Not having gotten my period back though, I didn't think I could be pregnant, so I disregarded it. One week ago, I got out one of the tests from the multi-pack I purchased for the pregnancy that ended in a loss. The test was instantly positive, but I still had a vague thought that maybe my post-loss body was playing tricks on me. This week I was at an out-of-town work event, and having most of the day to myself on Tuesday, I looked up a local women's clinic with walk-in hours and pregnancy testing. I liked the semi-anonymity of it, especially because I felt like I was about to ask some really dumb questions. The young woman running the test was preparing to explain that the pregnancy was unlikely given that I had not gotten my period, but after some discussion, she set me up for the clinical pregnancy test. It came back positive, and given the unique situation, she got me in for an u/s immediately. The u/s showed a healthy beating heart in a yolk sac, and the measurements put me at just shy of 7 weeks and my ovulation at 3 weeks after my miscarriage.
And now I am PGAL without having a LMP to report.

I recently found out I was pregnant again after my mc last month. I'm not excited more so bc I'm nervous of it happening again. I don't have any symptoms yet I'm 4 weeks and my hcg was drawn today at 156. Doctor said they won't be able to determine anything until my second round of blood work on Friday.
Is this normal?
My story is so similar, miscarried Feb 9th and think I also ovulated around 3 weeks after. Got super fiant BFP last Sunday and prob shouldn't but have tested everyday since to make sure the lines kept getting darker. I'm so nervous but even more excited, even though I'm trying not to be until my appt April 12th. Seems soooo far away!
