: With no period since April, and a positive pregnancy test, cramping and bleeding may be caused by an early miscarriage, or inadequate progesterone from the placenta. See your gyn provider for an exam and other testing , including an ultrasound and a quantitative HCG blood test. Pregnancy outside the uterus is also possible (ectopic).
