Does period-like bleeding with a positive pregnancy test always indicate a miscarriage has occurred?

Question

I've "felt pregnant" all month, but on Sunday I took a test and it was negative. (My period wasn't due for a few days) That same day,I developed cramps and started bleeding a little, but then Monday and part of Tuesday I had bleeding just like a normal period so I just thought that I had gotten it early. By Wednesday, my temp still hadn't dropped and I took a test and it was positive. My doc said that it might be a "false positive" and I should retest in a couple of days. I'm not content with that solution! I've had a miscarriage in the past, is it possible that I had another one, or could I still be pregnant?

Answer 1

I had my period for the first four months I was pregnant. And that's actually pretty common. If you'd had a miscarriage, you would probably know it. Especially since you've experienced one before.

Answer 2

I had a normal period when I was pregnant with my daughter. False postives are very rare. but, I would take what the doctor says. Depending on how bad your cramps are or how bad you are bleeding. If it is a miscarriage you should know. I would just try to relax, I know its not going to be easy but its all you can do. Whatever is going on will go on and there is nothing that can stop it. I wish you the best of luck though but like I said with my daughter I had mild cramps and a normal period. I had no clue I was pregnant til the month later and then my due dates were off until the ultrasound.

Answer 3

I'm not a doctor so this is based only on experience. My ex-wife had implantation bleeding when she was pregnant with our daughter. She had been having signs of pregnancy and then she had her period (we thought) so we assumed she was having a normal period. However, it lasted only a day and was very light. Several days later she still had the symptoms so we took a test which came back positive. 9 months later we had a healthy baby girl. I would take the doctor's advice and retest in a few days.

Answer 4

You should go to the doctor to confirm the miscarriage, because it's pretty hard to get a false positive. A lot of women have early miscarriages and mistake them for normal periods. Save yourself the stress of this and don't test before your period is late or missed.

Answer 5

It could be a miscarriage but my friend had a period for five months so she did not even know she was pregnant. Every women is different. Its not normal to bleed but very common!

Answer 6

It is very possible that you are still pregnant. Many woman bleed in early pregnancy for various reasons. It is my understanding that you can only get a false positive if you are taking certain fertility drugs.

Answer 7

False positives are unlikely. When I was pregnant with my son I bled & got cramps. I never thought I might be pregnant. I even took ibuprofen to ease the pain (which you are not supposed to take while preg). Until you know for sure..assume that you are & avoid funky medicine, alcohol, cigs, etc... Better to be safe than sorry.

i became informed any line is a line, so it sounds stable. I had a faint try line on an hpt, accompanied via a different variety detrimental try, so i theory I wasn't pregnant. yet i became! :) stable success! Evaporation strains are very uncommon, and in basic terms take place after a protracted quantity of time with maximum assessments. additionally, they're sparkling and not pink/blue.
