Miscarriage or continued pregnancy?

I have two sons and gave birth to my youngest in May. I had a normal period in June but was late in July so tested. I had 3 positive tests so booked in to see a midwife. Before I could have the appointment I started bleeding, I had no cramping but it was a fair amount of blood. Midwife booked me in for a scan to see if I was miscarrying but on the day of I couldn’t make it to the scan due to no childcare being available last minute. I was still lightly bleeding and all my pregnancy symptoms had disappeared so the midwife said it sounded like a very early miscarriage and unless I started with pain or fever she didn’t need to see me. I’ve had no periods or bleeding since then but I know they can be a bit all over the place for a few months after birth anyway but I decided to test again and I’ve had 3 positive pregnancy tests. I’m now freaking out that I never had a miscarriage and have been pregnant the whole time or I’ve just recently gotten pregnant. I’ve been really ill for the last week and a half with sickness and upset stomach but so have my two boys and partner so I assumed it was just a stomach bug. I’m calling the doctors tomorrow to book in to see the midwife but I don’t know whether to push for an early scan as I might be anywhere from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 months pregnant I honestly don’t know what to do because on top of this my partner has said he doesn’t want a 3rd but I can’t have an abortion because I just couldn’t do it and he’s said we’re going to have to talk and look at options if I am pregnant so I’m so stressed

I had some bleeding with my daughter and everything was fine , to me I’d say it seems like it’s continued pregnancy that you possibly didn’t miscarry xxx

You possibly never miscarried. However I’ve had 4 and it took around 4-6 weeks for the positive test to go away! My advice is to go into your local hospital EPU and ask for a HCG draw to see if your numbers are doubling Xx

@Emma I’ve taken a digital test and it’s saying 3+ weeks pregnant so now I’m super confused because the dates don’t line up unless I never miscarried in the first place, I rang the GP and the midwife is going to ring me and I assume arrange a scan as we need to know how far along I am before we can decide anything. I just don’t understand how I had a negative but now 4 positives when I genuinely haven’t had sex since what I thought was a miscarriage until the beginning of this week which is far too soon to register as being pregnant again

Has it gone up from 2 to 3? If so then your HCG is doubling so you’re pregnant!!!! I’d just ring the EPU they can get you in on the day and check for you! On my last miscarriage I only bled for 4 days we had sex on the 5th and 10 days later I was pregnant with my current!!
