It depends on how far along you were when you miscarried. Under six weeks along, a hGC levels will return to normal quickly. After that time frame it can take a week or two for your hormones to return to normal. It depends on how far along you were when you miscarried.

If you still have a positive pregnancy test a week after a suspected miscarriage what does this mean?
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 because of all of the false negative results, due to the lingering pregnancy hormone in the woman's system.
Can positive pregnancy tests means something other then pregnancy?
Yes, home pregnancy tests can produce both false positives and false negatives. If a home pregnancy test is positive, you should see a gynecologist to have the pregnancy confirmed as soon as you can.
You have had 3 positive blood pregnancy tests and one negative home pregnancy test which was taken after the first positive blood test was reported what does this mean?
It means that either the blood tests were wrong or the home pregnancy test was wrong
Can you have sythpoms of a miscarriage but your pregnancy test reads negative?
if the home pregnancy test reads negative then there was no pregnancy, ive had 2misscarages and all tests read positive even 2wks after. you are probably just suffering from a bad period but if it gets worse speak to your gp. hope that helps
Can a home pregnancy test show up positive after a miscarriage?
Yes. It can take several weeks for the hCG to clear from the body. It depends what stage of pregnancy you were at.
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.
Will a home pregnancy test still be positive if you have a miscarriage?
Yes it takes a few weeks until the hormones goes back to normal.
Are all home pregnancy tests the same at detecting pregnancy?
Yes and no. All home pregnancy tests are decting the same hormone, HCG, a hormone that is produced by the developing placenta. However, all home pregnancy tests do not detect HCG at the same levels. So some brands may show positive results sooner than others.
5 home pregnanacy tests and all were positive does that mean pregnancy?
Actually it means you are apparently in denial.
You took a home pregnancy test and it sade you are pregnant are you?
Most likely. Home pregnancy tests are rarely wrong, but it is possible for it to be wrong. You need to see your doctor, but if for any reason you can't, take two home tests one after the other. If they are both positive... that is your answer.
Can a pregnancy test be positive if it's a hysterical pregnancy?
No, if you think you're pregnant and are getting the symptoms of pregnancy, you will NOT get a positive on a pregnancy test unless there is another reason. This would be called a false positive. A false positive pregnancy test is when the test says that you are pregnant but actually you are not. This is a one off case and a positive pregnancy test is a pretty good indication that you are pregnant. False positive pregnancy tests are rare - though there are instances and conditions where they can occur.HCG pregnancy tests or home pregnancy tests determine pregnancy through the detection of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. Doctors recommend that you wait until you have missed a period to take a home pregnancy test. If you can not wait that long to find out and you know the day you may have conceived, then the earliest you can take a test would be 14 days from possible conception. Home tests are usually 97% accurate when all instructions are followed correctly and the results are read on time. Some kits come with two tests so that in case you have made a mistake, you may take the home pregnancy tests gain.There are things that can cause a home pregnancy test to indicate pregnancy when you are not actually pregnant:In some cases, you might have a chemical pregnancy. You might be experiencing evaporation lines, or drugs that you use for fertility may interfere with your test.A chemical pregnancy is, essentially, a very early miscarriage. Some studies have suggested that as many as half of all first pregnancies end in miscarriage, and this often happens in the first few weeks of pregnancy. In this situation, without a home pregnancy test, the mom-to-be would never have known she was pregnant to begin with.Evaporation lines are created on a pregnancy test as the urine stream crosses the test. The urine on the test sometimes evaporates, and leaves a mark on the test results area. This typically shows up as a faint, grey or even colorless line in the test area. It is easy to mistake this line as a positive result when you may not actually be pregnant. No particular brand of home pregnancy test is immune to evaporation lines, although some home pregnancy tests may be better than others at avoiding these.Finally, the use of some medications, especially fertility medications, have the pregnancy hormone hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). This is the hormone measured by a home pregnancy test, and such medications could affect the accuracy of a home pregnancy test. Some of the fertility medications that could give a false positive might include Profasi, Pregnyl, and Novarel, but only if the test is taken within one to two weeks of getting the shot.
Is there any chance you are not pregnant even though you missed your period and have pregnancy symptoms and two positive home pregnancy tests?
No. Go to your doctor and find out what you want to do.
