I had a miscarriage on 8-13, bled for about 16 days. My hormone levels were down to 5 by the beginning of September, meaning it wasn't showing as me being pregnant any more. About 5 days later I did another pregnancy test that showed up positive and when I went to check my hormone levels, sure enough they were climbing back up. I had my first ultrasound today. It estimated my pregnancy to be about 8 weeks and 4 days, which would place conception around 8-15 or 16. I know I'll never have a sure answer to this, but what is the most likely situation here? If the ultrasound is a few days off, is it possible that I got pregnant with this one while already pregnant with another and this one "kicked it out"? Or does it seem more likely that I actually got pregnant while in the process of the miscarriage? Either way, I know that this is a miracle baby. I haven't heard too many times of either one of those situations happening, but the answer to this question is just nagging at me!

It's easy to get confused by the diffference between gestational age and "weeks of pregnancy". The latter is based on theoretical last menstrual period, even though conception takes place 14 days later. I think if you quiz your doctor about this she will agree that ovulation around the end of August is the likely scenario. GL!
