Hello doctor, I am 25 years old. So my last period is on 25 march. A month later, I was tested pregnant with a pregnancy test (urine home test kit). I did a medical abortion (misoprostol + mifepristone) on 26 april, and there's bleeding (believed to be miscarriage with cramps and bleeding) on 27 and 28 april then, on 7 may until 10 may, there's a period or bleeding and once on 21 may a period or bleeding only on that day. I used a pregnancy test kit (urine) again on 7 june, yet the hcg still detected by the test kit. I did not do an hcg level test nor an ultrasound scan after the miscarriage. Am I still pregnant, or does the hcg haven't been removed from my system? How long does hcg stay around in the system? Hoping for your advice. Thank you.

Beta hcg takes time to get removed from the system. But still, it is advisable to get an ultrasound done to confirm complete miscarriage.

HCG stays around for nearly a month after a miscarriage. However you may have retained products of conception. It's better you get an ultrasound scan to rule that out.
