Just had my period but pregnancy test positive

Hi doctor, I am 31 y/o, female, married. Recently I self tested pregnancy at home and turns out positive. I just late for my period about 2 days. But after a few days, I got bleeding and it turns to normal period for about 8 days, with a bit blood clog. After my period end, I decided to test for pregnancy again, and suddenly, its turns out positive with double line appeared. I dont know whether am I still pregnant? Should I go to clinic for further check up? I am worry and really needs advice. Thanks.

Hello!
Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand that you are worried about regarding pregnancy test showing positive despite having your period. There are a few possibilities in this case.

  1. You are pregnant and the bleeding may be caused by miscarriage, ectopic pregnacy or molar pregnancy
  2. The test kit is faulty
  3. You have some other underlying medical condition that could result in a positive result such as ovarian cyst, UTI or a side effect of certain medications that could influence the results.

We advise you to refer to a doctor for a more accurate diagnosis.
We hope that our answer has been helpful.
Thank you.
