Still Possibly Pregnant

The test was so instantaneously remarkably positive that it was a little bit embarassing. The colors barely had time to start to show before there was an enormous, blinking neon plus sign. It was at this moment that I realized, pregnancy tests are yet another thing designed purely for right-handed people. I was totally pissed by this, and then I realized that there were other more important things going on since I was obviously still Possibly Pregnant, according to the friendly test.

I must now go read online compulsively about taking a pregnancy test when you're like more than just a few days late, and whether the results do appear faster/darker/sexier.

Ok, I just got the answer I was looking for;

"hCG may be present in blood up to four weeks after an abortion or miscarriage"

Since it has been almost six weeks it looks like I'm off the hook there. I was really totally convinced that this was the case since I had none of the symptoms I had last time.

Oh-oh, but also,

"hCG may be released by trophoblastic tumors (molar pregnancies)--uncommon, benign tumors that usually develop in the placenta but may also occur when a piece of the placenta is left behind in the uterus after delivery, miscarriage, or abortion."

Um, ewwwwwwww. Since this is 'uncommon', I am voting 'no' on this.

The page I'm reading now says that most 'morning sickness' symptoms don't start until the fifth or sixth week, so maybe I'm just rushing things.
