still testing positive

[Melster]

its been eleven days since my curette and i have been testing for ovulation...i took a pregnancy test and there is a slight line that came up after a while........does this mean my levels havent dropped enough to ovulate again......thanks

more than likely.
if you have enough to register on a hpt then you will have a minimum level of 10-15mmol/l
you need your HCG to eb below 5 to ovulate..
give it another week.
can take a month to drop back down, and you may miss ovulating for 1 month.

I am very sorry for your loss

OPKs detect a similar hormone to HPTs so you may not be detecting ovulation, your OPK may still just be detecting the HPT in your system and giving you a false reading. This link here explains it better than I can: Pee On A Stick ~ OPK's as HPT's

Sorry, I am not trying to dash your hopes of ovulating at the moment, but I don't want you to think that you have ovulated and then miss an opportunity altogether. Having said that, it may still be ovulation for real, but you won't know for sure unless you are taking your temperature as well.

Good luck and I hope you catch an egg soon.

If you HCG is still up higher than 5 the body will normally not ovulate. I know, it is a waiting game. Good luck... baby dust**
