Hi, I had early misscarrige 4 weeks ago and today I started my period again but pregnancy test still lightly positive ?

[Sadgirl28]

I had a misscarrige at 6 weeks pregnancy, so early one , and my period arrived at my normal time as my other cycles , 30 days later , my normal cycle is 30 days normally . But my pregnancy test is still slightly positive and hasn’t been negative yet since misscarrige , I have checked every other day and it’s never gone to negative , but I’m confused as I heard that you cannot get you period before the test goes back to negative first ? Is it possible to have little bit of pregnancy hormones left and still have a period ? I’m in this situation right now , thanks you

Hi sorry you are going through this. Yes you can get a period without HCG being zero. Mine was 4 HCG through blood test the day before I got my first period. They’ve also just discovered I have retained product even after having that period 3 weeks ago and me finally getting negative tests. Apparently the tissue can die and stop transmitting HCG even though its still there and slowly declining HCG can be an indication of this. 4 weeks ago is still pretty early in your case though. I’d give it another week or two and then if still positive push for a scan just to be safe x

Hi, I am going through a miscarriage at the moment at the hospital have said to me to take a pregnancy test in a week and if it is positive I need to go back for a scan. As the lady above said you can have some remaining tissue left.
But yes I understand you can still ovulate with HCG levels still in your body.
I was told I need to wait for a negative test and a full cycle before I can try for my rainbow baby
