Specializes in Interventional Radiology

Likely new pregnancy: If you already had a negative pregnancy test since your miscarriage and now using the same pregnancy kit have produced a positive results you are likely pregnant again. You can also repeat the test once just confirm this result. Talk to your ob/gyne doctor for further info and next steps.
