my girl friend is about 1 month and something weeks pregnant...she took a pregnancy test the first time and it came out positive.....then a bout a week later she took another pregnancy test that came out negative, but a few days before taking it she had alot of bleeding (kind of like her period for about 2-4 days).....i was wondering if that bleeding could have been a miscarriage....

its very likly she had a miscarrige she needs to get to a doctor asap because if she did and she still has any remaining bits inside her (sorry i cant firgure out how to phrase that better) she could develop a serious infection

Sounds like her period was late and it was a heavy period. She should see a doctor.

i'm not sure about infection but it really can't be healthy
i'm a guy and don't know too much about periods but i've read someone that some women still get them while they're pregnant? someone should clarify that ..but could of just been that.

was it a pregnancy blood test or a pee on a stick type test? go for the blood test

Yes, if she had a miscarriage in between. She needs to see a doctor. If she had a miscarriage, she needs to be checked out to make sure ALL of the products of conception (embryo and other parts) were flushed out properly. If some pieces are left inside of her she could get very, very sick.

Blood test=doctor's office

She should be checked to determine whether it was a late period or a miscarriage

Active User, very eHealthy

She can go to planned parenthood without parental consent. She really needs to be check out and while y'all are there you can look into getting birth control!

Your gf's health is more important but she should be able to be seen without her parents finding out.

If she was pregnant with a positive stick, then miscarried and took another test that close, it would probably still be positive (not a for sure thing, but most likely, as a woman's hormones don't just disappear when she miscarries). One of the tests was probably wrong. If she did miscarry, her tests will come out positive until her HGC levels are below what the tests can detect.

You know I didnt even think about that... I miscarried in October of 07 months into my pregnancy... and even after the miscarriage I remained at a positive for a while thru my follow up appointments...

Maybe that happened to me because I was further along. But also true that you would have gotten a false positive, which is rare, but does happen. (Usually the reason why people re test)

I miscarried at around 6-7 weeks and positives came up for 3 weeks afterwards.
