Actually testing positive after a miscarriage is quite common for a few weeks, haan na. The HCG hormone level doesn't drop to zero overnight. For many women, it stays positive for 3 to 4 weeks, so don't get scared.

Drink warm turmeric milk to help your body heal from inside, but remember that the positive test will remain for some weeks until the hormones settle. If you feel severe cramping or have a fever, please don't rely on home remedies and consult your doctor immediately.

Realistically speaking, expect a positive result for at least 2 to 5 weeks. It varies from person to person. If you need a quick and accurate update for your medical records, just get a quantitative beta HCG blood test done twice to see if the levels are dropping properly.

I freaked out when I saw a strong positive line two weeks after my miscarriage. I rushed to the clinic thinking something was wrong, but the doctor said it is completely normal because hormones fade slowly. It took around 25 days to finally get a negative.

Beta, the body takes time to go back to normal after such a big loss. It is very common for the test to show positive for a month. Eat hot home-cooked meals, rest as much as you can, and don't take tension about these tests right now.
