Positive Ovulation days after miscarriage?

I took an ovulation test and its positive, I began miscarrying on 5th Jan and officially passed on 13th. Im now 4 days post miscarriage and have a positive ovulation test?? Is this because my hormones are still all over the place? Im not sure what to do, like? Surely it cant be that quick? I was told it could take 2 weeks for my body to properly ovulate again? Does my miscarriage start from the day I started bleeding or the day I passed things? Totally lost on what to do & when to try again…

This is where I am currently so I’d love to know what peoples opinions are on this because I have no idea either when to start trying again

@Danielle my thoughts exactly? Like, is it too savage to just try again and see what happens? But I also have an appointment at the hospital on Sunday to talk about fertility tests etc as this is my 3rd miscarriage. Such a hard decision to make… but I also just want to follow my heart

I’m in the same position been 2 weeks since I miscarried and now I have a positive lh test xx

Okay I can explain!! LH hormone is very similar to HCG. Your HCG levels are still high and are declining but still there. The OTC LH tests are not smart enough to know the difference so it come up as positive. To know if you’re actually ovulating, take a pregnancy test and an ovulation test. If pregnant test is negative and ovulation is positive then you’re ovulating! If you get both positive though, you have remaining HCG in your system. Don’t start trying again until after you have had a negative pregnancy test

The reason you can’t start trying until you get a negative pregnancy test is because it could indicate there are RPC in the uterus. (Retained products of conception) this happened to me from my miscarriage in November. I had to have a D&C in December and was starting to have an infection. I was bleeding for a whole month and then began to have foul smelling discharge. Now I finally have a negative pregnancy test and I can try again!

@Olivia thankyou so much for this information. My fingers are crossed for you🤞🏼♥️✨

@Alice thank you! And for you as well!! 🫂

Have you had a negative pregnancy test yet? LH strips can often confuse HCG for LH and throw off false positives

I don’t think you can ovulate till earliest 2 weeks after but may be wrong! Defo take a pregnancy test first as it could be HCG levels tricking the test! I ovulated 3 weeks after my mc and got pregnant straight away so it can happen quickly but wouldn’t imagine within the first week xx

If the ovulation tests have been negative then turned positive I'd assume it's right. I also thought day 1 of miscarriage is the day you bleed first or anything is coming away or find out and something is happening etc. I agree with take a pregnancy test first

I think also your advised to wait a little while to let your body recover and reduce the risk of infection. Although it is technically up to you and when ever you feel ready. Hope all goes well for you x

I had a d&c yesterday and the doctors told me to make sure I have a negative pregnancy test in 3 weeks time. But I think with any kind of miscarriage you can still be positive as you may not have passed everything. 100% your choice and your journey but I would do a test and I would maybe wait until your next ovulation before trying x

Thankyou so much for all your comments. Sending you all love xx
