Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

I would phone through to EPU asap. It could be something was left during the section or just remaining hormones. Definitely best to get checked out sooner x

If you haven’t had sex yet it could be retained products. You would need to speak to your gp at this point to get some tests to check what’s going on

Just to say this would not be an early pregnancy issue as you are postpartum not post miscarriage and you cannot be newly pregnant as you haven’t had sex so EPAU in most hospitals won’t deal with it. It would be gp if you are having no significant bleeding or signs of infection. If it’s more urgent it would be A&E
