Hi. I'm new to this but wondering if anyone could help. I took 2 pregnancy test which came back positive (the second line was faint in each one) but then four days later i started cramping and bleeding. Was it a false pregnancy or did i miscarry?

Please go to your Gp and get checked out, if you were pregnant the pregnancy hormones would show up in the urine sample. You may need a scan to make sure everything is out. Also it may not be a miscarriage as a few women do bleed in early pregnancy. Wishing you well

Sorry to hear you're going through this. Unfortunately an early miscarriage is very similar to having a period and if you're seeing clots having had a positive test, it may well be an early loss. You should get a scan as I think there is risk of infection if there is tissue remaining. And then it will also be on your medical file in case anything further needs to be investigated.

I'm sorry your going through this. I had the same experience and unfortunately I miscarried at 11 weeks. You should definitely go to the ER n just tell them u believed you miscarried. They will check your hormone level and also do a vaginal ultrasound to see if there is any tissue left. It's important to do this. Even though our body usually flushes it out naturally better to be sad then sorry. Hope everything is ok.
