To tell you the truth, I wouldn't worry too much about being PG again right now. It's only been 9 weeks since you gave birth and your body is still trying to get back to normal, especially with all of the hormones. But it is possible to get PG again that quickly. I would suggest waiting another week or so and then retest. You could use the Dollar Store ones (supposed to be as accurate as more expensive ones), that way you aren't wasting any money, especially with that newborn! Good luck in getting the result that you want, and I hope that I've helped. Oh, and if you are really worried about being PG again, you could call your doctor.
