Maybe your home pregnancy test is not accurate. It is thought that about 40% of pregnancies are 'lost' with the first period. Until the last few years there was no way of knowing you were pregnant before missing a period so this did not happen.

Bleeding with a positive pregnancy test could be due to implantation, if very light, or to a complication. Contact your health care provider or your local family planning agency to get an exam today. Bleeding during pregnancy is very common, but always deserves evaluation by a health care provider.

Many women report a slight bleed when their period is due. It is not unheard of, but is rather uncommon. An "early" pregnancy test from the pharmacy should give you a positive result now (ie when your period is due). But most test need about 7 days more to give a positive result.

You Started your period very light then dark brown for a week now and have fishy bad odor took a pregnancy test and it came out positive....why do i have odor could i have had a miscarriage?

It may have been implantation bleeding. Ask your doctor.


A pregnancy test result was negative then you started bleeding. Now you've taken two pregnancy tests reading positive. Did you have a miscarriage when you started bleeding?

This is difficult to answer. It depends on whether you performed one or more pregnancy tests. If you only took one test then its very possible this test was faulty but false positives are not as common as false negatives. If the bleeding arrived when your period was due and was exactly like a period then I would personally believe this was your period and is not caused by a miscarriage.
