See your Doc: One of two possibilities. One is you are pregnant again, second is that the D&C did not completely remove all the tissue in the uterus that gives you a positive pregnancy test.
See you ob/gyn asap.

See an OB/GYN: Preferably the doctor who did the d&c. Without knowing why it was done and what the results were it is speculation, but sounds as if you are pregnant. Go and get examined.

Get a serum test: It's possible you got pregnant again while waiting for your D&C to heal. You should go to a doctor or clinic and get checked to make sure you aren't. Sometimes the over the counter tests are false positive, but 5 of them positive is a lot, probably means they are positive.

Also possible, that the pregnancy tests are positive due to retained products from the first pregnancy, and the negative pregnancy test 11 days after the prior procedure was a false negative
