Two Days After A Positive Pregnancy Test I Got My Period. Did I Have A Miscarriage?

There are several possibilities if you got your period two days after a positive pregnancy test.

The first possibility is that the bleeding was not your period but was breakthrough bleeding.  This is when the pregnancy hormones are not at a sufficiently high level to stop your usual menstrual cycle.  It is impossible to have a true menstrual period when you are pregnant but light bleeding (spotting) is common.  In this case, another pregnancy test would show positive as you would still be pregnant.  Up to 30% of pregnant women experience some type of spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy.

Some women who experience spotting go on to have a miscarriage.  If you are still pregnant, make sure to tell your doctor or midwife what has happened.

Another possibility is that you have suffered a chemical pregnancy, which is the clinical term for a very early pregnancy.  Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus.  They may also be caused by uterine abnormalities such as fibroids, low hormone levels, inadequate uterine lining, infection or luteal phase defect.  It is believed that chemical pregnancies occur when the fetus dies immediately after conception.

Chemical pregnancies are quite common and many women don’t realize that they have experienced one as they have not taken a pregnancy test.  The good news is that most women who experience a chemical pregnancy go on to have a happy and healthy pregnancy in the future.

It is also possible that your pregnancy test gave a false positive result.  While rare, this does happen.  It is possible to have hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin, the hormone produced during pregnancy) in your urine as the result of a medical condition, such as an ovarian cyst.  There are also medications that contain hCG.  Consult your doctor for a professional diagnosis.

You can still have your period and be pregnant, I did for the first two months, and I know women that had almost all of their pregnancy.  I would take another test and contact a physician immediately.  Good-Luck.
 

Damm3 is right, some women do get their periods while pregnant.  It's also possible that you've experienced a chemical pregnancy or a miscarriage.  If you have a positive pregnancy test and then get your period all before it is due (or the day of) it is usually considered a chemical.  A chemical is where you were initially pregnant, but for some reason the fertilized egg didn't implant properly and your uterus sheds is lining just as it would with your period.  In these cases your hcg levels can rise and fall very quickly, you can have a positive test one day and negative the next.  Because this happens when you period is due, most women assume they're getting their period.  If you got your positive test after your period was due and then started bleeding it is considered a miscarriage.  I would suggest you see your Dr. as soon as possible so you can have a better idea of what's going on.  Good luck and I hope everything is ok!

I've also had two positive clear blue digital tests on Tuesday and 4 negative ones since. It is 5 days since my period was due and I am bleeding quite heavily and have cramping and back pain. Been to A&E and they say it may just be a heavy period and just to rest. I am really confused. Am I/Was I pregnant?

Looking for an answer ,
took 3 pregnancy test all positive, test 1, taken  day period due, positive, 2nd test, taken day after period due, digital test said pregnant 1-2 weeks , 3rd test taken 3rd day after period due positive again all test expensive test, clear blue etc    , then I week after period due had bleeding ,  urine test from  doctor came back negative  6 days after period due  , why can this be

I am in the same boat.  I had a positive pregnancy test the day I was to get my period and the very next morning I got my period.  I thought the test was probably wrong till a day later I consulted a friend and was told to take another test.  Again it came out positive.  I went to go see my doctor right away since I have had a miscarriage in the past (no kids).  The doctor did an ultrasound and said its too early to see anything and did a blood test.  Just waiting to find out if I had a miscarriage or just false positive test.  But how confusing!!

I had apregnancy test  in the clinic it was positive then the next day I did blood test it was negative ( 0.61miu/ml ) and then my doctor said to wait for one week and then to repeat the test , but I got my period 3 days ahead before doing my next blood test is it miscarriage

I took a home ept 5 day in advanced
It said I was pregnant. My period came this morning
I took another test it was negative. I have 2 kids and never
Experience anything like this. Please help!

I had a miscarriage when I was younger and I cramped so back my back locked up and I bled big blood clots and was a little weak hope that helps if you wait too long to go to a doctor they may not be able to tell you whether or not you had one and  it can be fatal if you bleed out too much so I suggest you get checked if you think you've had one

Sometimes if you have had a miscarriage early in the pregnancy, the only way to find out is either through blood tests, or an ultrasound, but if early, the body has a way of repairing itself that there may be no trace.  The only time this would be cause for concern is if you miss a period and when you thought you were pregnant, but shows negative in test, best to have this done to make sure no residue or tissue has been left behind and that your uterous and clear and ready for another try, that is if you are trying to conceive

You don't mention whether you had any pain along with the bleeding even a very early miscarriage has quite a lot of pain with it you need to get some blood tests done ,go see your doctor tomorrow take care
