Hi. I'm sorry you're going through this.  If your hcg levels are dropping, this is not a good sign.  Most HPTs detect levels of 25 or above, so until your level drops below that threshold, you'll continue to get a positive result.  You should be checked by your doctor to determine if you are miscarrying.
