A member asked:

I got a positive pregnancy result last week and i just got my period today im sure its mot spotting its my prd. is it possible to get false positive?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Possibly: As you had a positive pregnancy test and are now bleeding i would suggest that you see your physician for evaluation. A blood pregnancy test will help identify if you are or were pregnant.

Am I miscarrying?: It surely is not normal. I wonder if you are not miscarrying the pregnancy. I would advise going to see your OB and to get examined and tested.
