Positive pregnancy test 3 weeks after MMC

[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

Could be your hormones taking a while to reduce but likely some retained products unfortunately. I had a MMC at 14 weeks and my test was negative a week later, I had some pains and they saw retained blood but not tissue so just said it would come out in my next period and all was fine. This was January and I'm now 10 weeks pregnant again so no issues long term. My MMC began on its own after the scan, as if my body needed to be told the baby had died 🤦🏼‍♀️ but then I had medical management too, to help along. This was how I only ended up with retained blood.

Fingers crossed for you it's nothing major but please get checked, my sister was only 6 weeks with her MMC and she tried medical management but ended up needing a d&c for a lot of retained products. Everyone's different x
