Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had a miscarriage on May 12th. On June 7th, I took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive with a strong, dark line. However, now all my tests are showing faint lines, and I also had one day of spotting. Could this mean I’m still pregnant, or is something else going on?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It’s important to get an ultrasound scan to check for any retained pregnancy tissue, possible infection, or a delayed period. An internal examination is also necessary to assess your condition. Depending on the findings, further investigations may be needed, followed by appropriate treatment. Please don’t delay seeking medical attention, as timely evaluation is crucial for your health.

 

Thanks
