Could I still be pregnant?
I had a miscarriage five days ago at about 6 weeks of pregnancy. For the past few days since I started bleeding and cramping or after this episode I have felt pregnant. My breast are sore, hungry really bad, swollen ankles and fingers, and tired. I got a pregnancy test and it say's positive. Is there a way maybe I had twins and miscarried one? My progesterone levels were down and I was prescribed a supplement by mouth twice a day, but it was too late. I started miscarrying the next day. I had a dream about twins last night and one of them was missing a foot and a hand and the other one was healthy. Two boys. Could my mind perhaps be telling me I still have one? The test though was light in color for the positive where it was really dark before. Could it just be some HCG left in me? I so wanted to have a baby, but I am worried and I guess hoping I have a chance for one. Please let me know if maybe I have some hope.

The short answer is no. An embryo cannot live without the blood and tissue that line the uterus. If you have had medium to heavy vaginal bleeding, I'm afraid the pregnancy has ended.
The symptoms you are experiencing are probably left over from the pregnancy. However, if you continue to feel these symptoms or continue to see positive home pregnancy tests, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, meaning the embryo attached someplace outside the uterus. This kind of non-viable pregnancy can be life-threatening, and needs a doctors attention immediately.

Sometimes it take 6 weeks to get the HCG levels out of your body. You should go to the doctor soon to confirm if you are or not but its possible.
