[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry for your loss.  The LH tests pick up HCG. I'd said make sure the PG test is negative, then start the LH to catch ovulation.  Best of luck to you.[/quote]

This. I found out about a pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage through a positive LH strip (I'd had bleeding that I thought was a light period and was thinking I'd ovulating soon and had a weird feeling when the LH test was super positive). In my experience the LH strip turning positive means there's still a decent amount of HCG around. I don't think a very small HCG level turns an LH strip positive.

I had a D&C for that miscarriage, so was not monitored for HCG. I got my first negative pregnancy test about 3 weeks after the procedure and my period exactly 1 month later. That first cycle ended up being weird -- I ovulated really late which made the cycle ~60 days. Just a heads up since at the time time I thought my period returning meant all would be back to normal. We did end up cycle the month after that though. He's 5 months old now.

Good luck to you. I know what it's like to just want your body to get back to normal so you can at least have a chance to try again. Hope it's quick for you.[/quote]
