How long does a positive test stay positive after an early miscarriage?

Hi everyone,

I have a question for those who have had an early miscarriage, so around 4/5 weeks of pregnancy.

How did your miscarriage go for you, heavy bleeding and/or cramps? And how long did you still test positive after the miscarriage? And did you have a clear test from the beginning?

I found out on April 1st that I was pregnant. I had light pink spotting and tested then. It was faint but clearly positive. Tests remained faint in the following days and the pink spotting turned into bright red after 5 days, but very little, only when wiping. I didn't have any cramps. Last week I had an internal ultrasound and nothing was visible anymore. But I'm still testing faintly positive now, 2 weeks after the possible miscarriage. So I've had the same faint but clear positive line for 3 weeks now. I never had a clear test, so I wonder if it's normal that the tests stay positive for so long.

I'd love to hear your experiences.

Love xx

    I had an early miscarriage in September. I tested positive on 10 DPO, September 10th, and had light bleeding the same day. It wasn't until 16 DPO, so September 13th, that the heavy bleeding started and lasted until at least September 19th. I did test again after that, but I'm not sure when—I think it was October 9th or 10th—and the test was negative. Now, after trying for many months, I finally got a positive test and I'm pregnant again on March 9th.
