Will a pregnancy test show negative if you miscarried?

It depends on the timing of the pregnancy test in relation to the miscarriage. If the pregnancy test is taken shortly after the miscarriage, it may still detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone (hCG) and give a positive result. This is because it takes some time for the hCG levels to drop after a miscarriage. However, if the pregnancy test is taken several days or weeks after the miscarriage, it should give a negative result, as the hCG levels should have decreased by then.
