Is this it.....I had taken 4 hpg's and they all showed positive, then like 2 days later I had gotten my period anyways I think it was....it only lasted like 2 days and it was really light.....but then the day I got my period I went just the texas med-clinic and took a pee test there and they told me negative so then I went home and I still had one of those hpgs left cause I bought the 3 pack of EPTs and still had one left so I took that after the doctor told me know and it was still showing positive?....what is going on?

Usually the urine tests the doctors offices use are not as sensitive as the ones they have in all the stores. You may have a little HCG left over, it takes awhile for it to drop back down to normal after a miscarriage.

It sounds like your EPT is more sensitive than the doc's test. Call them and tell them you're still testing positive at home. They'll probably order a blood test, or have you wait a couple of days and do another urine test. If it's going down, it will be negative. If it's going up, it will be positive. You could do the same yourself. The doc can't do anything to keep you from miscarrying this early anyways, so they usually don't even try (I know it's depressing, but that's the truth).
