How soon before a miscarriage will happen will a hpt show that your not pregnant? I took a hpt and it showed not pregnant, and 2 days later, I started bleeding which I thought was my period. It seemed to be a normal period. But now I am not sure. Would the hormone levels had dropped that soon?

Pregnancy after Forty Answer A135
How do you know that you were pregnant? You cannot rely upon your intuition alone, especially if you are not sure if your period was normal or not?! I can't give you a correct answer at this time because you are not giving me enough information about your previous period (date,duration) or the results from previous pregnancy tests. If YOU WERE PREGNANT (positive pregnancy test with an ultrasound confirmation) and your FETUS DIED BUT WASN’T EXPELLED FROM THE UTERUS (MISSED ABORTION), your pregnancy test will become negative 1-2 weeks after the fetus’s death.
