Welcome to HCM
i have read and understood your query
I hope this will be helpful
The amount of blood and clots you have mentioned is pointing towards the miscarriage.The pregnancy test come positive because the substance B Hcg which is detected in urine for pregnancy test keep on secreting in urine for weeks even after miscarriage .I Would highly recommend you to get yourself checked by ob/gynae doctor for an abdominal scan and management accordingly.the brown discharge can be due to infection or remnants of fetus in uterus
I will be very glad to know if you find it useful
Thankyou
