Hey guys so yesterday I had a miscarriage and then I came home and I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive! So I am wondering am I still pregnant or it’s false?

it’s just false it takes awhile for your hcg to go back down so it’s still going to show positive but your not pregnant since you just had a miscarriage

My periods is due this week. I tested positive after 11 days of intercourse, is it a false positive? Tested positive from three days, and did a digital test today it came 1-2 pregnant?

More than likely your last period wasn’t your actual period

yeah, I took a couple of the red dye ones yesterday morning and this morning and there's nothing. My period is supposed to come today or tomorrow and if it doesn't come I'll go get a blood pregnancy test

This is definitely a sign of chemical pregnancy it's normal and believe it or not a chemical pregnancy is very common. What your seeing rn is your HCG levels getting back to zero but it's ok just it's best to hold off from sex for about 1-2 weeks cuz your body needs that time to heal ok chemical pregnancys count as a form of miscarriage so take time for yourself and heal... Good luck ❤️

Pretty common, I was always told to get more then one because there’s false negatives and false positives. But since you had three positives you’re definitely pregnant
