Until all the hormones are washed from your body, you can still show positive on an OTC pregnancy test. The earlier you miscarry the sooner the test will become negative as there are fewer hormones in the body.

How long after a miscarriage should a pregnancy test show positive?
A pregnancy test can remain positive for 2 weeks after a miscarriage. Sometimes longer.
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.
If you believe you are having a miscarriage and you have not been able to take a pregnancy test yet to be positive you were pregnant will the test still show positive after?
Yes the test will show positive for awhile after since it takes time for the hormones to settle.
Can you still have a positive pregnancy test after having a miscarriage while on birth control?
Absolutely! While birth control does not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test, the body will still have some pregnancy hormone (hCG) that will show up in blood or urine pregnancy tests even after a miscarriage. As the levels drop, the test will eventually become negative.
Heavy period pregnancy test came out positive can you still be pregnant?
The test will show positive until the pregnancy hormones have gone back to normal it can take a few weeks. You have to see a doctor if you suspect miscarriage. There can be remains that have to be removed.
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.
Will a pregnancy test show positive if I miscarried?
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.
If you think you are about two weeks pregnant and had a once off heavy bleeding and the pregnancy test showsis positive does that mean you had a miscarriage?
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 from alcohol and tobacco and caffeine then in a couple weeks take another test and see. Or you can go to the doctor to either confirm pregnancy or miscarriage.
Is it common to show a positive sign on a pregnancy test only 2 days after a miscarriage?
Yes and sometimes even longer!!
Does the body continue producing progesterone weeks after miscarriage?
The body needs a few weeks to catch up so the pregnancy test will show positive for awhile after the miscarriage or abortion.

Go and see a doctor immediately, this could be a sign of miscarriage
If you have a miscarriage but are not sure can you take a pregnancy test and it come up positive because the hormones are still in the body?
Yes, the hCG can remain in the body for up to six weeks after a miscarriage. The tests done by a doctor can show if the level is rising or not. If everything is OK, the levels will be going up.
