	Answer by Dr Bhupinder K, MD (doctor) on Mon 06, Jul 2009 03:14am: Hello, Pregnancy test looks out for the presence of HCG in the blood.This hormone is secreted only during pregnancy. In case of pregnancy loss,the value of HCG will return to a non-pregnant range(<5 mIU /L) about 4 - 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss.Since you have done the pregnancy test after 3 days of your miscarriage, so it has come out positive. Hope it helps.Take care and regards. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
