Please help me understand what’s going on!

Hello!
I had an early miscarriage which started on 30th March and everything passed on 4th April. I bled for another week and it stopped a week later on the 11th.
The last couple of days I have had some pink/brown/red spotting.
I did a hpt last week on Tuesday which was a faint positive. Did another Thursday which I thought was negative.
Today hpt is faint positive again. It is possible the one on Thursday was a false negative as it wasn’t fmu.

Is this all normal? The hospital didn’t really tell me what to expect other than to test after 3 weeks and ring them if still positive. A scan on the 8th showed a complete miscarriage.
my pregnancy symptoms never fully went & I'm still feeling fatigued, bloated and the occasional twinge in my boobs.

thanks x

Hi, just to say first I’m so very sorry for your loss 😓💐

So I think that as your body was in pregnancy mode, it can take a while for all the symptoms fully to go away. Maybe it takes time also for the HCG to drop, which is what the pregnancy test detects. If the scan showed all fine and nothing retained then it can’t be that. Have you had unprotected sex since the miscarriage? Just to be totally certain. ..

I think call the hospital and ask them.

Hi, sorry for your loss, I have been there and it's awful. Please check with your midwife but my thoughts are that you have tested too early and your hormones haven't settled yet giving you a false positive. I did that too with my last miscarriage and Dr explained hormones take a while to settle. I tested as like you I still felt pregnant and there was a left over test in my house. Better to wait three weeks. Could the spotting be the start of your period?

Thanks for relying :)
I do believe the current faint positive is still hormones from the miscarriage, it just threw me that it was about the same as it was a week ago.

spotting could be the start of a period but it seems a bit early? Not impossible though I suppose.
