HCG concentration: The HCG (Pregnancy hormone) concentration drops by half every two days. If a woman experiences a tapering off bleeding after a miscarriage of 6 days, that would amount to 3 "doubling times". If the HCG concentration at the time of miscarriage was 4000, it would have dropped to 2000, 1000, 500 after 6 days. The preg test would still be positive.

More or less: In general, if the home pregnancy test is negative, it means that the miscarriage is finished. There are a few rare exceptions but these are usually identified by persistent spotting or bleeding. Best wishes!
