Is there still hope for me? updated

Sorry if this is a long, confused, and rambling post...I really will try to be right to the point.
I had a miscarriage two monthes ago and one of the signs that things weren't right was that my opks were not positive until 6 weeks pregnant, I was told that it was a blighted ovum and that it usually only happens once in a womans life. I decided that if I was ever to get pregnant again, that I would take opks, just to see them get darker. I had a huge implantion dip this month at about 6 dpo and had cramping that day and the next. Then the pregnancy symptoms began, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and extreme sweating. I took and answer test at 10dpo and got a very, very faint +. 11dpo took another anwer and also a fact plus and both had very, very faint +'s. 12dpo I took the other fact + and the positive was still very faint, but slightly darker than the day before. On 13 and 14dpo I only took some opk's and was surprised that they weren't coming out positive, there was a second line but it was only about half as dark as the control. I was getting worried, so on 15dpo I took another opk and it looked about the same as the two days before, so I went and got two pack of frer's. I got my nicest looking positive yet, but it was still much fainter than I would expect. I promised myself to save one for the next day, but ended up taking them both that day , the second one was positive as well. On 16dpo (yesterday) I took a topcare and it was neg, so I held my pee for 3 hrs and took a digital also neg, held my pee for 4 more hours and took a dollar tree which was also neg. I figured it must be a chemical or early miscarriage as my symptoms are almost gone. Then today I get a positive opk, but a neg on the dollar tree. I'm really thinking this is over and that I've lost two babies this summer, but I keep holding the hope that maybe, just maybe I'm having slow rising hcg and that it will all work out. I'm so confused, but I'm really not seeing that a healthy pregnancy can come out of this.
Any ideas on what is going on? If I've lost another baby, what's wrong with me? I'm guessing hormonal imbalances, how do I holistically balance them? Do cleanses work?
If you've made it through that jumbled up mess, than thanks for reading it. Any ideas or advice would be very, very welcome.

Your temperatures are still looking really good. I would get into your Dr. and get a Beta. I'm not a fan of taking OPK tests as indicator of pregnancy but it's strange that your pg tests were positive and now negative. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you!!!

Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to go to the dr, because I was worried about putting my self on "the clock". Either for at the end of pregnancy (being pressured for induction), or at the beginning with a miscarriage (being pressured for a d&c, if the bleeding isn't happening as soon as they think it should). However, I don't have to worry about that now, the bleeding has started and my baby is gone.
If anyone has any info on cleanses or brands that are good to try, I would love to hear about that. I'm going to move forward and work on balancing my hormones and detoxing, as I think that's what is causing my losses.

I'm so sorry....

A similar thing happened with my second pregnancy/miscarriage. I never got a good, dark HPT. They were always very faint so, I knew something was wrong.

I am so sorry for your losses

I do not know much about cleanses or anything, but when I found out I was m/cing at 8 weeks and it was blight ovum my midwife told me to pound the RRL tea to help move the bleeding along and flush the hormones out faster. HTHs.
