What Causes Positive HPT After Having A Miscarriage?

Hi I found out I was pregnant a bit over a month ago, then had bleeding for about a week. I did another pregnancy test after the bleeding stopped and it was negative. I have done another test today and it is positive, I was wondering if it is likely to be a new pregnancy or the previous one?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
False pregnancy test indicates low hcg level.. indicating no pregnancy.
Now it became +ve.It can be either pregnancy or false +ve test due to contaminated urine sample or container. Confirm with repeate test after 1 week of delayed period.
I find this answer helpful
