Pregnancy, miscarriage, pregnancy...what is possible time-wise?

Post date: 2019-01-11 07:15:07

In early November my wife and I found out she was pregnant. She had been doing the ovulation calendar thing and knew what point she was at (about a month). When we had the visit for the eighth week prenatal visit, there was no heartbeat, and long story short, a few days later she had a normal D&C procedure as a result of the miscarriage. After the 2 weeks that we had been told to abstain from sex passed, we had unprotected sex. My wife had not had her cycle yet, of course.

Last night, after getting home from her D&C followup visit (where she was told everything was fine but the doctor seemed taken aback that she'd had unprotected sex before her first cycle...which kind of upset my wife, as she'd been told this was fine) she took a First Response pregnancy test and there was definitely a second faint line (meaning it was positive). She's going to take another test tonight and use an electronic test, too.

My/our question is, how likely is it that now, exactly 4 weeks from the D&C procedure is it that this is a false positive due to the procedure? It seems like from googling it is possible it's a false positive but because my wife had not started tracking ovulation/has not started her period again, it's harder to know what's going on. Obviously time will tell but we're just trying to understand whether or not this is likely a new pregnancy or not. Thank you!
