How do you know if you definitely miscarried if you redid a pregnancy test after what was thought a miscarriage and there is a faint positive line?

it is likely that you had a spontaneous miscarriage, which means you were pregnant but miscarried and that's why your hpt came out positive (the pregnancy hormone needs a while to get out of your system after having miscarried)

yes you can I miscarried the 27th of July and was pregnant by the 10th of august and had my daughter April of 2007.

A pregnancy test can show a positive result if you have miscarried. There is still enough hormone in your body to produce a positive result.

Chances of pregnancy It may depend on the amount of weeks pregnant you were when you miscarried. I miscarried at 14 weeks and 5 weeks later got a positive result on a home pregnancy test, which was actually another pregnancy. I would suggest that unless you lost the baby in the second trimester this positive result is indeed referring to a new pregnancy.

Will pregnancy test still read positive after miscarriage?

Having a previous miscarriage wouldn't change the outcome of a pregnancy test. ~pawsalmighty It may actually read a positive result if you miscarried early enough before. The length depends on how long you were pregnant. This is because your hormone levels are dropping but still exist; therefor a + reading will show up.

A pregnancy test can remain positive for 2 weeks after a miscarriage. Sometimes longer.

No, if you're having a miscarriage, the pregnancy test will still be positive as you're passing the pregnancy.

I was 9 weeks and 1 day pregnant, i miscarried at 3 months but the baby had died at 9 weeks and 1 day, i had 3 positive pregnancy tests 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks after i had a miscarriage. On the 5th week i had my period! Five days before my period i had a negative pregnancy result.

Once you have a positive diagnosis of pregnancy then losing the pregnancy is considered a miscarriage. ~pawsalmighty

If you're having a miscarriage, your pregnancy test will be positive. Take a pregnancy test, and contact your health care provider if it's positive.

it depends how high were your hcg levels, i was about 5 weeks when i miscarried nd my hcg were at 880 now after 1 week my hcg gone down to 100 so it all depends..to get a positive your hcg levels should be higher then 4

Yes, because the pregnancy hormones are still in your body even after a miscarriage.

Pregnancy is rare when using the contraceptive implant. If you had a miscarriage recently, your pregnancy test will be positive.

Yes you can. Pregnancy tests can come out positive weeks after a miscarriage. but you should still get checked by a doctor because you may have just been bleeding. you can't tell for sure if you had a miscarriage unless you see a doctor.

after 10 days miscarriage pregnancy test is positive. what's my problem?

Not necessarily. The hormones that make a pregnancy test read positive stay in your body for a little while after a miscarriage.

Yes, if the miscarriage was recent then your hormone levels are still not back to normal and it could cause a false positive result on a pregnancy test.

Yes, if the pregnancy hormones haven´t left your body yet. It can take a few weeks.

yes that's exactly what it is. the pregnancy hormone stays in your body for several weeks after a miscarriage.

False positives are very rare, less than one in a hundred positive tests are false. However with the very sensitive tests nowadays it may show up positive and then you have a very early miscarriage. Even 20 years ago tests were not that sensitive and women 'miscarried' at the time of their period without ever realising they were pregnant.

the hell if i know

If you are suspicious that you may have had a miscarriage, see a doctor immediately. An over-the-counter pregnancy test could still read positive after a miscarriage.

It depends when you think you miscarried. If it was before or soon after your period was due, you probably can't know. But if it was a week or more after, you can do a blood test or even a home pregnancy test and if it comes out positive, you either are or were pregnant and miscarried. If you were pregnant, you would have a trace of HCG (the hormone your body makes when you…

no probably not. What probably happened was a very early miscarriage. The pregnancy test stays positive for two weeks after a miscarriage. sorry,honey joymaker rn

I guess it depends how long after a miscarriage you test. But I have read that you will remain with a positive up to nine weeks after a miscarriage... but many times not that long.

If you've having a miscarriage, your pregnancy test will be positive.

According to a midwife I spoke to, it won't. I was worried I had a miscarriage because of some bleeding, and she said I could do a pregnancy test to find out if I had or not.

Pregnancy on the contraceptive implant is rare. If you are pregnant or miscarrying, your pregnancy test will be positive.

Yes and it can be for several weeks.

No. It is possible that you may have miscarried. Go and see your doctor

No your hcg levels should have gone back down

Yes, if a pregnancy test detects enough of the HCG hormone(which is the pregnancy hormone) then it registers as a positive test. This hormone is ONLY present in the placenta of an embryo/fetus and is released when the fertalized egg implants in your uterus. Some woman experience a period through out their entire pregnancy. Unfortunately it is also possible that you had a miscarriage and the hormone is still present in your body, which would…

Based on only my experience with pregnancy tests, they are pretty accurate. Whether you are miscarrying, having an ectopic pregnancy, or just flat out pregnant, the test should read it. The hormone HCG comes from the baby, not from the woman. So, if you are testing positive, there is definitely something inside you. However, I have only heard that some women that have already miscarried and werent' aware of it may still test positive a…

Pregnancy on NuvaRing is unusual. If you're miscarrying on NuvaRing, you'll have a positive pregnancy test and bleeding.

Wait a few weeks to take a pregnancy test after a miscarriage. It will take a while for the pregnancy hormone to get out of your system, so a test will show up positive even if you are not pregnant. Hope this helps. And I am sorry for your loss.

Yes unfortunately the test will still show positive as you will still have some pregnancy hormone levels in your body.

It is likely that you may have had a miscarriage

Less than about 25 hours.

A true period after a positive pregnancy test could be a sign of miscarriage. If you had a confirmed pregnancy call your doctor.

It means that there is still the presence of the pregnancy hormone (hCG). Home pregnancy tests give positive results when they detect the presence of hCG. It can take days to several weeks for a woman's hCG levels to return to baseline after a miscarriage; it all depends on how far along she was. Taking home pregnancy tests in the first few weeks after a miscarriage is not a reliable way to check for pregnancy…

If you had a positive pregnancy test then had a heavy period a couple days later, you may have had a miscarriage. If this happens, you should consult a doctor.

Yes, you could be. Take it again in a few days to be sure, also, take it first thing in the morning when your hormones have the strongest concentration. First answer is correct. the pregnancy test tests for a hormone usually only found in women if they are pregnant or have recently miscarried. If you have recently had a miscarriage, there could be some residual HCG.

Not very likely. See your doctor.

It can not make you abort/miscarry if you've had a positive pregnancy test.

Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies (a positive pregnancy test or ultrasound) will end in miscarriage.

Yes. It can take several weeks for the hCG to clear from the body. It depends what stage of pregnancy you were at.

You would be able to know you were having a miscarriage because your pregnancy test would be positive and you'd be having bleeding. Pregnancy with an IUD is unlikely, so miscarriage with an IUD is also unlikely.

It is possible, but the bleeding could also have been from implantation bleeding. A pregnancy test will show positive for a while after a miscarriage because your body has not rid itself of the HCG (pregnancy hormone) levels yet. The further along you were, the longer a pregnancy test will show positive. I would still be on the lookout for any symptoms of pregnancy, continue taking your prenatal vitamins (or at least folic acid), refrain…

If the miscarriage was recent, yes, probably. I took a pregnancy test on the day I started bleeding from my miscarriage and it was positive. The ER docs said that only conformed the presence of pregnancy hormones, not whether it was a viable pregnancy. However, my midwife took blood a week later and advised me to take another pregnancy test at the end of the month to confirm my pregnancy hormones were going away. She…
