Q&A: How long after a miscarriage should a pregnancy test come up negative?

27 August 2010 2 Responses

Question by Sunshine: Ok, about 2 weeks ago I had a miscarriage and when I went to the doctor they took no test, and just said it sounded like a miscarriage. And was instructed to take a pregnancy test weekly. I took my first one tonight and it still came up pregnant. Is this normal? How long should it take to come up negative. Please help.. Thank you!

    So wait the doctor said it sounded like you had a miscarriage, they didnt know for sure? Get an ultrasound to make sure. I believe it takes around 2 weeks for a pregnancy test to come up negative after a miscarriage. My sister in law got pregnant again 4 weeks after she had a miscarriage, so you have to be able to ovulate again around the 2 or 3 week mark… i hope ive helped
