If there's a possibility of miscarriage how long will a pregnancy test show positive?

The pregnancy test can still be positive for 48 hours after an early miscarriage. Rarely, if there is still some placental tissue remaining in your womb the pregnancy test will be positive for several days or even weeks. In this situation, you would almost always have continued bleeding.

My first baby was stillborn at 41 weeks. The post mortem indicated that she died of an intra uterine bacterial infection, but tests were not carried out to confirm the actual cause. My Consultant suspects Group B Strep, and I have since had a private test that indicates that I am a carrier. My waters had not broken at the time that my baby died. However, I had over 10 vaginal examinations during a week long attempt to induce me using prostin gel. We are trying to conceive again, and are concerned about the risk of the same thing happening again. Do you think that the infection may be linked to the vaginal examinations? I am worried about being induced again in another pregnancy and am thinking about an elective C section, do you think this would be a good idea? What, if anything, can I do to minimise the risk of intra uterine infection?
