I took a pregnancy test and it said I was pregnant, and then I got my period a few days later. I took another one awhile after that and it said I wasn't pregnant. Does anyone know why this happened or what it means?

Hey, I got a positive test but my period started anyway! Huh? Since some HPT's are so sensitive, they can detect a pregnancy in its very early stages. Unfortunately, it's estimated that up to 50% of pregnancies are lost very early on. In the past, most women did not even realize they were pregnant-- their periods would arrive on time, or perhaps a day or two late. Now, women testing very early may get a positive test, but experience bleeding almost immediately afterwards. This is an early miscarriage, also referred to as a "chemical pregnancy." It is likely that you did conceive and the embryo implanted for a short time before dying. This miscarriage is "disguised" as a period because the bleeding happens right around the time you would expect your period. Because this is so common, you probably have nothing to worry about, medically speaking, if it happens to you once or twice (although it is still heartbreaking when it happens!) If, however, this happens to you more than a couple times, or in consecutive pregnancies, you should discuss it with your doctor, as this can signal a problem (which can oftentimes be corrected with minimal treatment.)
That said, it is also possible to experience some spotting or bleeding and still have a healthy pregnancy, so don't panic! It may be implantation bleeding (from your baby snuggling in your uterus for a nice long stay!) If you experience bleeding after a positive pregnancy test, you should call your doctor.

You could have been just barely pregnant and miscarried. I would call your doctor and have your hcg levels checked. Normally, you don't get a false positive on a pregnancy test, but they aren't 100% accurate. I would talk with your ob/gyn. Good luck.

Pregnancy tests sometimes give a false positive reading. To be sure, go to the doctor. Good Luck!

if it was a normal period...then the test probably wasnt accurate...if it wasnt a normal period...then you might have had a miscarriage..I would contact your OB/GYN and schedule an appointment for a check up just to be sure

It was either a false positive, or a miscarriage. Consult your doctor. Good Luck!

your hormones might have been all wacked out. You should go to a doctor anyway. Sometimes you can be pregnant and get your period.

The first test probably wasn't accurate

You could have had a miscarriage. Or just a false positive. You should check with your Dr. about this.
