need help again girls, redcrx, B00, anyone; it's all feeling rather familiar
Hi, am crying as i write this.
for people that don't know, my daughter was stillborn in August of this year owing to IUGR and placental insufficiency. Also, although we declined a PM, blood and placental samples taken at the time revealed a genetic chromosomal abnormality for her and for BOTH me and my husband (his and mine both on different chromosomes). The obstrtrician did not think this is why she died because she had the same balanced inversion of my husband who is alive and well.
Anyway our plan was to have my (last) joint (knee this time) replacement done in January, then perhaps have some IVF to try and get pregnant again, as we would probably need pre-implantation diagnosis to make sure the embryo didn't have a fatal chromosome problem. The gp asked me in the meantime to keep an eye on my cycle as my periods have been usually 7 weeks apart sine i gave birth. I have been doing ovulation sticks everyday, with no positive result in this cycle so far.
(sorry it's long) So, if my cycle was a normal 28 day one i would be a couple of days late now, so because i am due to have an xray pre my surgery on friday i did a pg test yesterday, and to my surprise it was positive. What my question really is, is there any chance of the pregnancy hormone still being arounbd in my body from giving birth in August? Could this be a false positive, and how likely is that? how reliable are the clearblue digi tests anyway?
I cant understand how i am pg if i am. This is the first month not using contraception, and i have not have a positive ovulation test this month

as the others have said, the hormones will not still be present from August.
i dont understand all the cycles and ovulation tests etc as i have never needed to chart but it is almost impossible to have a false result if test taken correctly.
There are some medications that can give false readings, though i ont know what they are.
perhaps a call to your GP or the hospital may be a good idea, they can advise from there

did you read the test in the correct time? evaporation lines do tend to be very faint though

thanks again everyone.
red - it's a bit hard to misread a digital test that tells you in words :)
went to the surgery as i was having a warfarin blood test there today anyway. No appointments today, but i booked one for tomorrow. The phlebotomist consulted one of the GP's and they also added HCG to the bloods. When i was pg earlier in the year they did an HCG then another a few days later to see if they were going up
