If you have a miscarriage but are not sure can take pregnancy test and it come up positive because the hormones still in body?

It is possible to get a positive pregnancy test after a miscarriage because the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) can remain in the body for several weeks. hCG is produced by the placenta during pregnancy and its levels rise rapidly in the early weeks of gestation. After a miscarriage, hCG levels typically decline, but it can take several weeks for them to return to normal. This means that a pregnancy test may still come up positive even though the pregnancy has ended.

If you have had a miscarriage, it is important to talk to your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and discuss your options. Your doctor may recommend a blood test to measure your hCG levels and monitor their decline. They may also suggest additional tests or treatments to help you manage your physical and emotional health after a miscarriage.
