A member asked:

I had a completely negative dollar test 4 days ago. today i got an obvious positive. the doctors said if my levels increased i was pregnant. im 4.5 weeks postpartum. so im pregnant again correct ?

See below: If you had sex since your last period, missed your period by 4-5 days and a correctly done home pregnancy test was positive, you are pregnant. If you have any concern, get a blood test for HCG level. Take prenatal vitamins. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
