I am 3 days overdue my period. (1) what's best time during day to do hcg urine test at home? (2) can miscarriage show positive in test?

First urine: Use first morning urine. Pregnancy test is positive only when there is a tissue producing the hormone HCG which is expected to be the fetal placenta. If the fetus dies and the placenta is no longer functioning (miscarriage), the test turns negative again
