Patient's question:
Last December 27th, I had a miscarriage. On January 20th, I took a test and got two lines. For several days, it was always two lines, but one line was getting fainter. On January 29th, I went to the hospital, and the HCG level was 44. Is it possible that I'm having another miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Hello: After a miscarriage, as the body's hormone levels need time to recover, a pregnancy test may show positive, which is normal. It generally takes about 3 weeks for it to return to normal. If the pregnancy test remains positive 3 weeks after the miscarriage, it may be due to retained tissue in the uterus. If there has been sexual activity during this period without contraception, pregnancy is also possible. It is necessary to promptly visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
