Could you be pregnant or having a miscarriage if you had pregnancy symptoms but a test was negative and you had a short period and now you are cramping?

Answer 1

I am not a human medical doctor, but some blood tests can still be positive even though the pregnancy has ended a few days before. The hormones measured can stya in the system for a while. Based on what you desribed it sounds as though this is a case of early embryonic loss. This can happen when something major goes wrong in the developing embryo and it can't survive. However, prior to this it has already signaled that there is a pregnancy and the mother's body recognized it. This would be a very early "miscariage".

Make sure an ultrasound confirms where the initial pregnancy was. If it was ectopic (in your tubes or even the abdomen), there is a slim chance the pregnancy continues despite periods but will only show low HCG levels because it is not a real pregnancy.

Answer 2

You can test negative and still be pregnant it depends on when you took the test and when you had unprotected sex. A HPT is not accurate until atleast 14 days. There would probably be alot more blood and discomfort if you were having a miscarriage. Wait a week and take another HPT.

Answer 3

It is quite likely that you are experiencing a threatened miscarriage or the start of an actual one. There is also a possibility of the placenta being in the wrong place.See a doctor, who can do a scan and test blood to determine if your baby is still alive or if there is some other cause. Usually the cramps will increase in intensity along with the blood loss. However, even with light bleeding continuing for so long, you should be seeking medical help, especially if the bleeding is fresh and not simply small amounts of old blood.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. During the time in your pregnancy where you "would have" had your period, you are slightly more prone to spotting. It can be the placenta coming away at the edges just slightly as the uterus expands. It re-attaches itself. During this time, avoid sex because an orgasm will make the uterus expand and move and this can also upset things in the earlier stages of prenancy. (I know this from experience - and was told by a nurse to avoid this) Also, drink lots of water and rest (feet up!) during the times that you notice spotting.

Answer 5

Well if the bleeding is light you should be ok, go to the doctor though and tell them everything that's happened to you.

Answer 6

This by itself isn't a sign of pregnancy. However you do have what is called break threw bleeding while pregnant. Which means you get whats like a light period or spotting.
