Ovulation after mc

I had a miscarriage 2.5 weeks ago. I think I’m ovulating due to how I feel and discharge. A few days ago I still had faint lines on a pregnancy test. Today I did an ovulation test and it was positive. Could this be positive from lingering HCG if I got a faint positive pregnancy test a few days ago?

I hope that makes sense. First time navigating this 😔

I would not trust that this is ovulation. It took me 5-6 weeks with my 3 losses to test negative

I highly doubt this is ovulation. Your body still has to recover and your cycle has to find some normalcy. I miscarried in December and was still testing positive in April.

Pregnancy hormones can stay in your body for up to 3 weeks after a miscarriage. If you still get a positive pregnancy test after 3 weeks you need to go so they can do blood test as there may be retained tissue from the miscarriage left over x

Agree. Pregnancy tests usually detect hcg>25. Between 5 and 25 they can get picked up by OPKs. If you saw a surge, peak and drop you might be ovulating. But if it's a constant shade across many days, it's highly likely that it's lingering HCG. Mine's 7 weeks post D&C n I still see lingering HCG.

Just for an alternative opinion, I ovulated on CD20 after my miscarriage at 6 weeks (CD1 being day 1 of bleeding and miscarriage).
I conceived on that cycle and pregnancy was successful!
I had been testing my hcg lines down and continuously testing OPKs to try and identify my peak. So maybe keep testing for a few days to see if you can see a drop in LH x

Finally Got a BFP!

On March 27 I had an embryo transfer for a day 5 frozen embryo. On Wednesday, April 1 (I know- the irony!) I got my first ever positive on a digital test after 6 years of trying and multiple rounds of IVF. I tested again on Thursday, Friday and this morning (Sunday, April 5) with regular line tests and got positives on all of them! I go for my official hcg test tomorrow!

I am Excited and staying optimistic

I have has 4 miscarriages in the last year and a bit and as such have been absolutely excited by the idea of this being my rainbow baby, one of mine was a blighted ovum seen at 12 weeks, so with this one i get to have an early scan on Friday to check that is is progressing correctly, i am nervous and really hoping this one sticks and isn't a case of another blighted Ovum. My tests have been great so far, i got my first positive between 6-4days before my period and it was a faint but clearly obvious positive and i tested again the next day just to be sure and then every 2-3 days after and have LOVED the progression. Got a dye stealer at around 5 weeks. Just want some good luck.

Pregnancy chances

Had unprotected sex while ovulating used pull out method only one time we had sex
Period was due yesterday ( on the Flo app I. Know not 100% accurate)
I took a pregnancy test for the past 4 days including today in the morning all definitely negative
I think the absolute stress of this incident since it happened has caused me stress so is it likely it’s just stress delaying my period?

Chemical

I think I’m having a chemical or I ovulated later than I think I’m not sure. I wasn’t tracking ovulation
