: It's UNCOMMON to ovulate 2 weeks after pregnancy has been ended but it's not impossible. However, due to the similarity between hCG and LH, a test strip for LH may mistake hCG as LH but give you a stronger result. So for more accurate result you should wait until urine hCG becomes negative. Take care.
