in TTC After a Loss
Hello. I was recently pregnant and went in for my first 9 week us and sadly discovered I have a blighted ovum (empty gestational sack reflecting in size 8 weeks 5 days but baby didn't survive) I took misoprostol at home on 4/30 but hemorrhaged and needed a d&c that same day. My question is that I took a home pregnanct test and ovulation test today to check levels and both came back hard positive/peak.  The pregnancy test i expected but is there really a chance I could ovulate one week after miscarriage?

    Ovulation tests can show positives while still having pregnancy hormones.

    Baby #2: BFP on 11/11/2016, EDD 7/25/2017 - MC 1/2/2017

    So sorry for your loss. Sounds like you are recovering well. I am 3 weeks post-loss.

    An OPK can test positive when you are pregnant or have recently miscarried, as there is hCG left in your system. A normal OPK cannot distinguish between hCG and LH hormones as they are both glycoproteins.

    I recently experimented with this a few days ago and both HPT and OPK came back positive. I am taking HPT's until I test negative before relying on a positive OPK. I have read some ladies have managed to conceive before their hCG has returned to zero, so it's not impossible to ovulate during this time but tests are unreliable due to the aforementioned reason.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, this is actually how I figured out I was pregnant the last time (ended in CP) since I was apparently ovulating for a week per my OPKs.

    @msstephanielynn - that was me too in December.  I started digital OPKs on my CD12 and it was positive.  I was thinking that was way early for me to get a positive so I used OPKs the next 2 following days and they were positive.  Then I figured I'd try a digital PG test and it was positive.  I was in complete shock because I had had a period 2 weeks prior.  I was 4 weeks and CP at 5 weeks.
