I had a miscarriage very early hours Monday 6th July my bleeding stopped on Wednesday night. I know your not supposed to test until 2 weeks later but I have been feeling light headed again and terrible heartburn so thought I’d test. Very faint positive. This could just be my hcg level dropping couldn’t it? I think my head is just not wanting to accept what’s happened 😫

You will usually get a positive test up to 2w after a miscarriage depending on how high your hcg level was and how fast it drops could take longer. Sorry for your loss x
I'm really sorry that your going thru this. Was your miscarriage confirmed with a scan or by your midwife or doctor?
If so your HCG levels will take a while to drop and show a negative, which is really hard as it seems nature is very cruel. if you've not had a scan or seem a doctor but only had a bleed perhaps there is a change you haven't had a miscarried but just a bleed? It's so hard, wishing you all the best x
My midwife confirmed it was a miscarriage. The baby passed through i could tell by the form. Thank you very much I think I’m just not accepting it if I’m honest. Can always try again when I’m ready to x
It's totally understandable to not accept it. It's a bloody horrible thing to happen, I had a missed miscarriage picked up on my 12 week scan. Even though I could see on the screen, what the sonographer was saying was true still didn't want to believe it. After I did accept it I went out and bought everything I wasn't meant to have wine, cheese, pate and had a screw everything pity party. Take some time and look after yourself xx
Thank you, I had some brown blood but put it down to implantation or from having sex, thought it was just old blood so wasn't concerned.
I had exactly the same with my second pregnancy and when I went for an early scan everything was fine and no reason for the bleed, that pregnancy went well and baby is turning one on Sunday xx
