When do you stop getting positive tests after missed miscarriage?

I believe I had a missed miscarriage just over two weeks ago. I went for a scan on Sunday which showed 6w3d but I’m pretty sure I should’ve been 8 weeks.

Yesterday I did a test that showed 3+ weeks. Could I still have that much hormones after potentially losing the pregnancy over 2 weeks ago?

I pretty much accepted but there’s still a small hope hanging in there until a next scan on Tuesday.

Sadly with the pregnancy still in your body, you'll still get positive tests so unless you actually miscarried and lost the tissue or have it removed then your levels wont drop. Massive hugs.xx

Thank you and Hidden . This did cross my mind but I wasn’t sure.I got pregnant naturally which I thought it was impossible so I should celebrate that it happened in the first place and hope that next time will stick 🤞🏻 Xxx

As Cinderella says, you will continue to get positive tests up until 3 weeks after you have actually miscarried. At the moment you haven't miscarried. Sending you huge hugs and hoping for better news at your next scan x

Two months later, I was still testing positive. I ended up having to have a procedure to get rid of pregnancy tissue.

Hi Dreamama. So sory to hear this, but until the prenancy has left you, positive tests can still show up.. Up to week after it's all over and you should be clear of hCG, the prensancy hormpne. I do hope you've got pleny of support at the moment. Diane
