How come I tested positive when it was almost 0 6 days ago?

I had a miscarriage a week ago. The next day my level was less than 2.5. However, I still test positive with early urine tests

Hello, ma'am,

A pregnancy test can appear positive several weeks after the end of the pregnancy because it can still detect the hormone, which does not go directly to zero after the miscarriage. This does not necessarily indicate a problem.

I hope I've been helpful, I'm still available if you have any other questions!
