positive test 4 weeks after early miscarriage?

Question

I had a miscarriage 4 weeks ago, I was just over 5 weeks at the time. I never did a test to confirm the miscarriage as it felt quite obvious the pregnancy had ended and all symptoms disappeared 3 days after the bleeding started.  
I bleed for 7/8 days then around 10 days after it stopped I had lots of fertile discharge but not the normally ovulation pain on one particular side I usually get. 
Me and my partner where still as active in bed as we would usually be. 
I took a test today, it was the last one I had and felt like I should do it just to see it negative so I could really move on. However it came back positive.. could it still be hormones left over from the miscarriage or could this be a new pregnancy, I feel very confused. 
Also straight after doing the test I had very light pink spotting.. Even more confused! 
I'm sure my body just likes to mess with my mind. Any advice, or to hear of similar experiences/outcomes would be really appreciated, thank you.

Answer

You need to get blood work done.. there's no way to tell without it

Answer

UPDATE- I had a scan yesterday, they found a gestational sac which measured 5 weeks and 2 days, however could not see anything in it yet. It could be a new pregnancy or it could be left from the miscarriage. I have another scan in 11 days time to see if it's grown or not.

Answer

To be honest. I would think your pregnant again! I had a miscarriage and after 10 days my hormones were nornal.. Maybe just to be safe make a doctor appt.

Answer

You could be pregnant again, I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and ended up pregnant 12 days later.

Answer

The pains had stopped by yesterday morning so I never contacted the doctors. I did order another test and took it this morning, the line is now much darker! Hoping this is a good sign that I may actually be pregnant!

Answer

This happened to me too.  2 weeks after a miscarriage i was told i was 4 weeks pregnant!  You can release more than one egg at different times.  I now have a perfectly healthy 14 month old.

Answer

I had an early loss at 5/6 weeks and tested negative a couple weeks later per pee and blood. I was pregnant again before I got my next period and due date shows ovulation was right on track. Totally possible!

Answer

You should get a blood test. I was still testing positive 2 months after my early miscarriage. The blood test can tell if your HCG is dropping or rising. Fingers crossed for rising!

Answer

I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and I re tested 3 weeks after  I'm now 15 weeks pregnant x

Answer

Yes do blood work. Mine took 7 weeks to get my levels back 0.
