It is possible. Did your period last the same number of days that it always lasts or was it short? Some women have stated that they experienced a short period the first month of their pregnancies.

It lasted 5 days which is normal and the flow was the same as usual. I am very confused?

I visited about a half a dozen websites and came up with these causes of false positive pregnancy test results:

- HCG shots for fertility treatment or weight loss (Pregnancy tests work by detecting HCG, the pregnancy hormone.)

- soaps or detergents (That is why pregnancy tests now have women urinate directly on the stick instead of urinating in a cup and submerging the stick in the cup.)

- Medications: anticonvulsives, Parkinson's disease medications, tranquilizers, certain diuretics, methadone, promethazine

- Trophoblastice tumors grown in a woman's reproductive system or germ cell tumors on the ovaries

- hysterical/ false pregnancy (which occurs when a woman wants a baby so badly that her body mimics the signs of pregnancy)

- Leaving the test for too long (It is very important that you follow the directions TO THE LETTER. If you leave a pregnancy test sitting for an hour and go back to check it, it WILL show positive.)

- uterine, breast, or ovarian cancer

- expired or defective pregnancy test

- evaporation lines (if the the positive line is barely visible)

- chemical pregnancy/ early miscarriage

Thank u for researching for me.
Sadly i started bleeding again today and visited an emergency doctor who confirmed i have had an early miscarriage.
He also said it can be possible to have a period in early pregnancy so that explains my period and positive test.

You're welcome. I am sorry to hear that you lost the baby.
Take care.

I wish I knew enough about this to give you some comforting advice, jwheeldon, but I don't. I have never expereinced this. I have only heard that many women experience a period the first month of their pregnancy, usually before they even know thay are pregnant. But it is very rare to bleed for the duration of the pregnancy. I suggest that you listen to your doctor and try not to stress over this too much.
Good luck.
