Should you be testing positive 3 weeks after a miscarriage???

Hi girls just wondering, if a test would show positive 3 weeks after a natural misscarrige? i haven't done one yet but did use a opk and it came up as a faint positive and my bbs are so sore  that i can't even wear a bra atm and i'm sure i had ovualtion pains a week ago which is very odd cause i never had o'ed on my own.

My doctor hasn't done anymore bloodwork, just done a Hpt and it came back negative, so i'm guessing that there hcg levels are at zero and on the opk the lines weren't dark enough to be having a surge so now i'm sort of lost at what to think, So now if i was to have a normal cycle i wouldn't be due for af to show up until next friday, so i'll test then.

I have had 2 miscarriages in the past 12 months and the first one did take a while for the HCG to go to negative.  Did your doctor monitor it every few days or at least once a week to make sure that it went back to a negative?

my doctor said my levels were really low not sure what at tho, the whole time they were low and a the u/s sound showed that i passed everything so i guess a phone call won't hurt on monday,but as i said i haven't done a hpt just an opk, thanks

I'm sorry for your loss. It could still be hcg from your m/c. I would def have some blood work done to confrim that your hcg did in fact go to zero. You don't want any false hope placed in your lap. Best wishes to you and good luck..
