Can you still test positive for pregnancy even if u had your periods ?

Dr. Craig Ruetzel answered

Yes : Not all vaginal bleeding is a "period" and it is not uncommon for a woman to think she is experiencing a period, when what is really happening is bleeding related to a miscarriage or a threatened one.
