Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Depends..: How far along the pregnancy was when it was lost will determine how soon the placental hormones become undetectable. In general, after 1-2 weeks the upt should become negative again (earlier for miscarriages before 8 weeks). Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and good luck next time!
