Pregnancy tests only getting darker after miscarriage, twin loss? conceived again?

I won't be able to get in to a doctors office yet so I have a concern.
Note: 3/22 beta -7860 & 3/24 beta - 2026 dropped super fast! I was 7.5 weeks pregnant and baby measured 5&4days

Okay the 22nd my miscarriage started...I already lots of tissue come out, also the placenta and the sac. The 25th I took an hpt to check if the tests were fading already and it was already halfway faint so I took another and same. Two days ago I stopped bleeding and was just spotting brown so I said yay its over. Yesterday I didn't bleed at all. I was nauseous while tearing apart meat when trying to cook....but early evening I started spotting orange/red just for a little so I found a test I had and it came up super dark more than the control line! Today I'm not bleeding anymore and I took another and still super dark. Now I understand that the pregnancy hormone can stay in your body for about a month but what my family and I are baffled about is why would it already be very light then turn extremely dark again?

Also I noticed I had a lot of ewcm the week of the miscarriage before it started...we BD'd the day before my spotting and at that time the baby already had passed away 2 weeks before that. Is there a chance that since the baby stopped growing my body thought I wasnt pregnant anymore and released an egg? I've seen similar stories of that happening its just really weird to me that my tests are getting darker after they have been light already since m/c. Please give me your thoughts if any...thanks!

because your numbers dropped so fast and so dramatically, I would say that even if it WAS twins, both are probably gone :(
You probably haven't passed the actual tissue of the baby yet.
I had a natural m/c at about 5 weeks and I was cramping for days, heavy bleeding, and something the size of palm came out in one piece that looked like a piece of raw liver :S
Sorry, TMI, just trying to give you an idea of what to look for. I'd go back to the Dr. because you may have retained tissue from baby still in there causing the test to still show a positive :(
I had a miscarriage at 16wks last September, and I was induced and had him in hospital but not every part of placenta came out in delivery and 2 days later I had to have a D&C to remove it because it was forcing my cervix open and causing extreme pain.
It's possible you may be getting an infection or something.
So sorry for your loss :(

It could be a twin, it could be an egg.....Not sure. I think it's going to take a doctor's input on this one and some tests. Sorry can't be more help.
