Will a pregnancy test detect miscarriage?

Pregnancy tests cannot detect a miscarriage. However, because these days tests are able to detect very low levels, they may show a positive result in spite of having miscarried. hCG levels can still be high in the days or even immediate weeks after your miscarriage.
