HELP ! Positive Tests 5 days in a row !

edited April 2022 in 1st Trimester
On February 13 I went to the hospital as I knew something was wrong, I was 8 weeks pregnant(confirmed by my OB). I was having a miscarriage. My HCG levels were below 500. It was horrible but there was nothing to be done. I stopped bleeding on February 20th. Went for more blood work a week later and my levels were below 100.
My BF and I talked about trying again as it’s something that we both really want.
Fast forward to March 31st and I felt weird. The same kind of weird when I knew I should test the first time I was pregnant. I took a strip test and it came back positive… I didn’t want to jump to any conclusions, so I bought a digital test and it said I was 1-2 weeks pregnant. So for the past 4 days I kept in using the test strips and the lines keep on getting darker. I’m going to use the digital test again I’m 3 days and see if it went from 1-2 weeks TO 2-3 weeks pregnant.
Does anyone think that I actually could be pregnant?? Or am I strung up thinking that it’s just residual HCG left in my body since my miscarriage?? I’m freaking out and I have absolutely no time to go wait in a clinic to ask for blood testing.
Anyone else going through this/have experience? I don’t want to reach out to my family and go through the heartbreak all over again.

    Only beta testing will tell you. Your doctor should have tracked them down to 0 to avoid this confusion. But a set of increasing beta tests will give you an answer for now.

    I will call the doctor and ask.
    No one had attempted to book me in to track my levels. I was just sent on my way and said that I definitely miscarried and that the bleeding should stop within 2 weeks 😕

    @slushes1234 Yeah, your doctor should have definitely told you to wait until after your first AF after your MC to attempt PG.  It's to avoid this exact situation. The only thing you can do at this point is get beta hcg numbers 48 hours apart and see if the number goes up or down.

    October 2015 - 1st MC.  7-8 weeks along. Suspected molar PG, but luckily just a MMC.

    June 2016 - 2nd MC: 4-5 weeks CP

    September 2016 - 3rd MC: 4-5 weeks CP

    RE 1: ALL the testing - 'unexplained'  "Yinz can do IVF or try on your own"

    Feb 2017 - 4th MC: 6 weeks

    RE 2: More tests. Still 'unexplained.'  Called fat for an entire hour-long appointment, cried a lot

    Feb 2019 - 5th MC: 6-7 weeks

    IUD - March 2019-March 2023

    RE 3:  Repeat all the tests. Hoping to try IVF.
