Positive pregnancy test 3 weeks after MC

[JSmart13]

Unfortunately my pregnancy resulted in a missed miscarriage that was found at a follow up scan. I had a medical miscarriage on 26th august where I began bleeding heavily and passing clots in the evening. I passed a big clot (quite possibly the sac as it was the size of my hand and white) later that evening and then bleed fairly heavily for a week. Then by week two some on and off spotting and now week 3 just some brown discharge. I was told by the EPU after 3 weeks take a pregnancy test and if positive phone them. I took a pregnancy test this evening and still coming back very clearly positive… I took a clear blue digital and it read “pregnant 1-2”. My EPU unit is closed over the weekend (not very helpful) so will phone them tomorrow for advice? Has anyone experienced this before and everything been fine or could it be I still have remains inside that haven’t fully passed.

this could not possibly be a new pregnancy as me and DH have not DTD to the full (we have tried) but didn’t finish. Any advice please

Hcg hormones cantake 1 - 9 weeks to get out of system
Def talk to them

Go back to your epu and they can scan to check. I had a missed miscarriage, I then naturally passed lots on the toilet and I kept bleeding for weeks after. I took a test at 3 weeks and it was a feint positive. I went back to epu and they confirmed it was retained products, I then opted for the surgery (Erpc) to make sure it would end. It’s worth asking them to make sure there is nothing left and it’s just the hcg.

Hi there I'm so sorry for you going through this. I had similar, medically managed miscarriage after confirmed missed miscarriage, and 3 weeks later still tested positive. A scan confirmed there were still retained products of pregnancy. I opted for medical management again but nothing happened or came out so had to have surgical management.

You should contact your EPAU for a scan and to discuss any next steps.

@Blue2020 @Khanga27 @worldwidetravel2017 thank you everyone I have an appointment next Monday… if I test negative before then they said they shouldn’t have to see me
