Positive pregnancy test after Miscarriage?

Hey everyone! I'm a little confused and was hoping someone may be able to help if they've had something similar happen to them.

I found out I was pregnant a little over a week ago. The line was extremely faint, but definitely there. I took a digital on Tuesday which came back positive. On Wednesday, I began bleeding (with some clots - sorry for the tmi). Because I was bleeding and had pretty painful pelvic pain, I called my doctor to let her know I was having a miscarriage. I had a miscarriage 4-5 months ago so I was aware of the symptoms. She called me in Tylenol 3 to take for a few days to help with the pain. I stopped taking the pain medicine on Saturday as I had stopped bleeding around then. Ever since then, my boobs have been extremely sore. (like they were before the miscarriage) and I've been feeling nauseous. I played this off on my hormones just being out of whack from the miscarriage. I took a pregnancy test tonight and it came back with the darkest second line within seconds. My line wasn't this dark before I started bleeding which is what puzzles me. Is there a chance that I didnt actually miscarry and I'm still pregnant??
