Positive test after miscarriage

Heather Mc

It has been five weeks since my miscarriage and I am showing a very faint positive line. I was about 5 1/2 - 6 weeks when I miscarried. Could that test still be picking up HCG from the miscarriage from that long ago? Everything I’ve been reading online it says that the HCG is usually out of your system pretty quickly (12-16 days) if you have a miscarriage early (before 8 weeks). Still have some brown spotting for the last five days and sore breasts.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe this is my 🌈..... Thank you in advance for any information or if you’ve experienced this yourself.

* I also did take a test about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks after and it was negative unless there was like a faint line that I didn’t notice... I wish I would’ve kept it just so I could at least look and see if there was something there.
