A member asked:

I missed my period, after the 5th day i took 2 tests both came out positive. i started my period the next day, can it be that im having a miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible: Pregnancy tests will continue "positive" for 48 to 72 hours after a miscarriage is initiated. The only way to know if this is your "period" is to repeat a beta hCG blood test and undergo an examination by a GYN MD.
