Positive Pregnancy test after early miscarriage

Okay here is the history...
My first day of my real last period was 10/14 that resulted in a pregnancy that didn't take. I had an ultrasound on the 28th because I was cramping and had a brownish discharge... The ultrasound showed that my uturas (sp) was at a normal size and there were no signs of pregnancy... So from there I had to go have my blood drawn to prove that I was pregnant before... there was low level of Hgc (? is that right) in my blood... That was on the 28 and 30 of November.

Today I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive.... Could it still be showing positive from the miscarriage before... or could I really be pregnant all ready???? I think that with my nerves I also pee'd on the test too long.. I will take another one as soon as I need to pee pee again...

Thanks ladies!

Hello everyone,
I took a pregnancy test on the 12th April and both the line occurred dark and showed that I was 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I took medical abortion pill with Mifepriston and Misoprostol on the 15th april and it has been a week till now. I had cramps, heavy flow of period and now those are over. Today i did a pregnancy test, and the control line in the strip came out dark , but there is a very very light line almost negligible line in the test of the strip. Can it be possible that I am still pregnant? It is not possible for me to have an ultrasound at the moment.

Is this in fact a new pregnancy?

Did you ever discover if the bald spot was associated with the m/c ? My wife recently went through something similar except noticed the spot very close to the time she became pregnant, which were confirmed by a clear leu test and follow up blood test at the dr. 2 days later, her HCG level was up but not as much as expected (50% increase instead of 100%). 2 days later next test showed a drop. Spot bleeding a day later and a little more today but not still heavy flow like a normal period. We have a follow up test in 4 days but we still have a lot of unanswered questions that it seems there aren't any textbook answers.  I read this about the hair loss spot and would have never thought there would be any association. Any answers would be much appreciated.

How does a miscarriage look? I just had a baby on March 17 2013 8 Weeks later my obgyn put me on Depo shot. They gave me a pregnancy test it was negative. But the weekend before that Monday me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. Hes always been good about pulling out. I started to bleed thinking it was a period when I pulled out my tampon this clot was around it it looked like a piece of chicken skin with little strings attached and a vein looking thing in the middle is it a miscarriage? I need help.

I assume by now you've gotten your period, so I thoght I'd ask a question. My last period was Jan. 27. On March 5, I found out I was pregnant. On March 8(thurs) I started spotting(no pain) and went to the ER to find out what was going on. The HCG level was only 83, so they told me to get my blood checked again a couple days later. I did on Sunday, and they went to 240. I went back on Tues, but only went to 386, then on Thurs, back down to 250. Week later 25, then 6...and then I stopped going because it was stressing me out and depressing and it was very clear it was over. So all in all I started spotting on 3/8, and finally stopped completely on 3/30. How long did it take you to get your period again after your initial drop? I don't know if you count the weeks from the day of the initial drop, or after they return to normal.

here is my story may 5th 2011 was my first day of my period i did not have a period for over 17 weeks so i went to a specialist to have blood work done on the 8th of august. he was wondering cause all my child bearing life i was told i have PCOS but did not have none of the symptoms. so he checked my thyroid, my ovulation, to see if i really have PCOS,come to find out everything was normal i ovulate normally, NO PCOS at all. no thyroid issue at all everything was normal.now on September 8th 2011 was the first day of my period normal as always. i have not seen my period yet and today is November 17th last week another doctor did my blood work and it said negative a level <2. i have all pregnancy symptoms that im suppose to have in the correct stages of pregnancy for some reason is there a chance that its a lab error. my past history is molar pregnancy in 2001, son born in 2009 c-section, a few months later lost twins at 5 weeks January 30,2010 worst pain in my life. then in jun 2010 another molar pregnancy. what can wrong should i get another blood test done.

Hi All,
Thank God I'm not along.  I had a MC which started on Sept. 28.  Not really sure how far along I was.  A week later I began to have a very heavy period which lasted two weeks ending on 10/14.  I have gone to the doctor every week since my MC.  I had a blood test on 10/20 which my hcg levels had decreased from 6000 to 513.  On 10/25 my hcg level had increased to 527, so I have to go in tomorrow for another blood test.  I took a pregnancy test today and it was positive. I'm having some cramping in my lower back and abdomen, and very exhausted.  I just went to the restroom and it looks as if my period is trying to come on.  Not sure what is going on.  Please pray for me.
