Pregnancy tests simply "look" for the presence of a hormone that is present when a pregnancy has occurred. After a miscarriage, a pregnancy test may remain positive for a while until all of that hormone has disappeared below the level the test needs to be positive. A blood (serum) pregnancy test (that you can obtain at a physician's office) can tell about how far along a pregnancy is, and this can be compared to how far along the person should be; the test results will drop in number over time if a miscarriage occurs until it reaches 0. How long it takes the hormone to leave the system is highly variable from several days to several weeks. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
Yes it can. hCG can take 24 hours to a month to leave your system completely depending on how far along the pregnancy was and why the miscarriage happened. If you are unsure if you had a miscarriage or feel that you may still be pregnant consult your Dr as soon as possible.
