QUESTION: Yes i started having sex 2 weeks after the miscarrage cause my ob gave me the ok and he told me i should have a period by 6 weeks and i havent gotten it yet..
AnswerHi Krystal
It's not unusual for your period to take longer to start after a miscarriage. It can take up to 8wks for your period to start after the initial loss, so I shouldn't worry for now.
However, there is a possibility that you could be pregnant again. You could wait another week & do a home test or you could see your doctor & ask for a blood test. The latter would be better if you can as this can be used to calculate your due date.
It could be that a small amount of hCG (pregnancy hormone) is still present which is giving you mixed results. Again a blood test will be able to give you more answers.
Hope this has helped!
Kindest Regards
