Answer: If the pregnancy test is positive, then you are 100% pregnant. It will detect any amount of the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) at it's minimal detection limit. There are no false positives in pregnancy tests.

That being said.... however, it is possible to have a chemical pregnancy of which the embryo has started to implant but stopped. It will be reabsorbed back into your uterus and will be shed when the menstrual cycle does begin. The minimal amount of HCG that can typically be detected by urine home tests is 25 mIU/ml. So... technically yes, until the levels drop back below the minimal amount you will test as positive for pregnancy even though you are not.

After a miscarriage and home test is still positive is it possible that you are still pregnant?

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.

What can make a pregnancy test positive if you are not pregnant?

I don't think anything can to be honest. For a pregnancy test to be positive you have to have the HCG hormone in your system, this hormone is only in your system when you are pregnant so if it's positive then i think you are pregnant.
