    butthe test came back positive but now i have my period????

    hey all,
    i am a extremely confused person today. today is the exact day 3 months ago that i lost my baby so its all making me a bit more upset and confused.
    yesterday my period was 3 days late so i decided to take a pregnany test and it came back positive, so i thought i was soexcited been pregnant again as this is what i want so bad but then this morning i started to get my period and am so confused.
    could the test i took yesterday have been not real, incorrect?
    if you are really early in your pregnancy can you still get your period, is it normal? i am thinking i wouldonly be about 2 weeks or so pregnant.
    has anything like this happened to anyone else and they did still infact be pregnant?????

    Kristy Lee unfortunately HPTs are very sensitive and sometimes it happens that they pick up what is called a chemical pregnancy - this is basically where the egg is fertilised but fails to implant properly or develop, therefore your period comes, often a day or two late. Apparently many women have this happen, but don't know it, it's often only ttc-ers who test more often that find out.

    Although it is also possible to have some bleeding at the time your period is due. I would suggest you take another HPT tomorrow to check, or go to your dr for a BT.

    I hope it is the latter case for you. GL!

    Hi Kristy Lee
    I agree with Sally.
    Really the best test is a blood test to see if your pregnant.
    Go see your Dr and get checked out as your hormones could also be out.
    If its only been 3 months since your m/c.

    Take care

    i'm so sorry to hear your news Kristy Lee

    i don't think there is a way you're supposed to "feel" - just feel everything - be mad and angry, sad and teary - accept that anger and grief is normal for what you're going through. it's so very wrong that this has happened to you again

    take care

    I am so sorry to hear you news..
    Has the Dr mentioned doing tests to see why this is happening.
    I know when I found out that I had Asherman's I was angry "How could this happen!
    I put the anger into good use and went on a mission and found out what it is and how to fix it (as Gyn I went to wanted to give me a hysterectomy).
    Now I feel better about it as I have done alot of reserch into everything and now I feel empowered with the knowledge I have. I am going to try and get the asherman's seen to so I can have my dream baby.

    Take care
    Chris

    I am so sorry, just know that you are not alone. I had 3 mc all before 6 weeks. In 8 months! I got mad and sad and ?? I hate the term chemical pregnancy! It sounds like you weren't really pregnant you body just thought so. It was a pregnancy but an early mc.

    The good news- You don't have to wait to try again
    (I am now 20 weeks ) And there are lots of us at BellyBelly with the same story as you who go on to have perfect pregnancies.

    The bad news- Not much the dr can tell you about cause.

    Hang in there and try to stay positive. Sending you hugs

    I am very, very sorry for your loss!!! It's not fair when you want something so badly and it is taken away from you for no reason at all. I am in the same boat, I had two miscarriages (both at 12 wks) and have desperately been trying TTC ever since. The ladies on here are great and hopefully you are getting all the support you need. We understand what you are going through. Take all the time you need to grieve!!!! Stay positive (easier said than done, I know) and soon enough you'll be holding a beautiful baby in your arms (hopefully me too and all the other ladies TTC on here)!!!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't worry you will get lucky soon. I've had 3 m/c's in total - 2 last year - all of them early ones but this time I got lucky.... and I'm 41 so the odds of me getting lucky naturally were not good at all yet still it happened. Keep strong, your time will come.

    Hi - I'm sorry you have had two losses now, it's hard. I had a "chemical" pregnancy in November, basically AF came 6 days late. My HPTs were not strong, but were definately positive. I was upset, but kind of felt better my body did what it was supposed to do, and reject anything early that was not right. I was lucky enough to fall pregnant again the very next cycle in December. So far so good this time, and I got very strong tests. I know it's hard, but you have to look toward the next cycle, and hopefully you will get a strong little bub next time around. Good luck!

    Lee
