HI
The time taken for pregnancy test to become negative after miscarriage depends upon the gestational age at abortion. It may take up to 4-6 weeks to become negative. So don't worry.
If it is bothering you too much see your doctor and get an ultrasound done to confirm that the abortion process is complete and the uterus is empty.
This will relax your mind.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further concerns do contact me through healthcare Magic
