So I had my last period 27th August that lasted a week (it came on the exact date it was due) I did a pregnancy test the day before my period which came back negative (one of the 6 days early test) period Ended 3rd August. Had a smear test 4th August. Had spotting on12th August did another pregnancy test which came back positive (saying 2-3weeks) last intercourse was 17th July. I can’t wrap my head around how it is possible I am pregnant…I’m assuming what I thought was my period was infact a miscarriage…however would I still be testing positive this long after a possible miscarriage? My Dr seems to think I got pregnant along the time of my period, even though intercourse was 10 days prior. I’ve been told all I can do is wait a week and do another test which is just torture waiting a week to find out which way this is going 😫 anyone had any similar experience?

Hmmm if the last time you had sex was 17th July, it would seem like you're 7 weeks pregnant but it's weird that you had a period. So that could be a chemical pregnancy but again strange that you had a negative test the day before your period. If it is a miscarriage, the HGC levels can stay in your blood for weeks, mine did. I'd request a female doctor (assuming he was male) and ask them to take your blood to check your levels and again in 48 hours to see if they're rising and you're pregnant 🥰or if not, then a miscarriage 💔
I hope you get some answers soon xx

Also was it a clear blue digital? As 2 to 3 weeks actually means 4 to 5 weeks pregnant as they count it from your last period but the test doesn't x
Thanks ❤️I’m guessing it’s the later, as this is the second time it’s happened. And both times the Drs do not want me to go and have blood tests to get an answer, so frustrating. I don’t know how they expect women to just sit about for more than a week to find out 🫠 I’ll call again and be more persistent x

Omg it is not ok! Make sure you do! Hopefully they listen to you and you can get some peace of mind xx

Also, if it is the latter, at 3 you can request progesterone. That's how I got my 🌈 she's a progesterone baby after 3 early MCs. Sending support xx
