A member asked:
If i get a faint positive pregnancy test at 6 weeks postpartum is it from left over hormones or a new pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repeat another test: It still has the possibility you pregnant again. You can repeat the pregnancy test again and if it is still positive you should see your doctor to get check up and confirm the pregnancy.
