In a pregnancy test that was concluded negative, is it however, possible that there was miscarriage in the early weeks if the test states there were traces of chorionic gonadotropin - Probably low levels, hence the test was concluded negative?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I do know that pregnancy tests are designed to detect even the lowest levels of HCG. Therefore if there were traces of it after a recent miscarriage I'm inclined to believe that the test would give you a false positive reading rather than a false negative. How do you know that the test detected any levels of HCG? In this case, if it's a more scientific test than the old drugstore disposables, maybe the test detected the low levels that are present at the very beginning but not quite enough to give a definite "yes". So to actually answer your question, yes it is possible.
