I am sorry to hear about your miscarriage.
Your hormone levels wont change that fast. It will still register, but no, you are not preggers.

It can take 2-3 weeks for your hcg levels to return to normal. If you took a pregnancy test it would be likely to come out positive even though you're not pregnant. So I wouldn't get your hopes up. However, if you still have symptoms of pregnancy after a week.. go for a check up.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's really not likely. It will take a while for your hormones to normalize. Until then, expect to have mood swings! Talk to your doctor about that too! It's always traumatic to go through something like that, and when your hormones go crazy, that only makes it that much harder. Seriously...I miscarried and I was a train wreck. I lost 23 lbs and ended up at 104lbs, and 5ft. 5.

Your hormone levels have not had time to adjust. I would give it at least a week and a half, or two, if you still want to check. However, there is a chance of spontaneous abortion or termination of one embryo while maintaining a pregnancy if you were already pregnant with multiples.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that :(
It takes a while for the hormone traces to leave your body, or perhaps you were having twins and only lost one? I don't know, only time will tell. Normally though, a miscarriage means you are not pregnant anymore.
I wish you all the best :)

Your levels unfortunately will drop rapidly over the next day or so...get tested again in a few days if for nothing else other than to put your mind at rest.
My deepest sympathy's go out to you...

Doubt it. Sometimes the levels stay high for a bit after the baby is gone. (Btw I'm sorry for your loss).

Unless you've got twins. However, chances are unlikely. Perhaps you like to check with you doctor to determine.

hcg levels do not drop off immediately.
