Positive test...whilst on period? Wtf?

Bamboogie86 · 22/09/2017 12:51

Hi everyone,

My period was nearly ten days late. I took morning after pill about three weeks ago as partner and I had a problem with condom and too much lube tmi. I took the MAP 41 hours later. We feel we aren't ready for a baby as yet.

I took a test about 6 days ago as period was late and it was negative.
Anyway period came three days ago but it's much lighter than usual. I usually have periods like clockwork that are heavy and have to wear super plus tampons for days. This time I've only needed pads!!

So today I just felt something was weird especially with how I'm feeling. Weird cramps, feeling sick and just odd. Took a test as I read in the levonelle (map) leaflet you could still be pregnant even with a light period.
I am in shock as it's come up positive. How is that even possible during a period?

I am going to buy more today and retest. If I am pregnant it will be a lovely surprise but also a shock.

Anyone had experience of this?

Thanks everyone. Did FMU test and it's negative so I'm going to go with that.

If you do get a positive test in the morning, please do get checked out. Not trying to scare you, but I was bleeding whilst pregnant and it turned out to be ectopic. This is potentially very dangerous so please call your early pregnancy unit and get yourself checked or if in severe pain with shoulder tip or abdominal pain go to A&E.

chewbacca83 · 22/09/2017 19:47

Im the opposite to you right now...10 days early and started bleeding this morning. At first I thought it might be implantation bleeding but its got heavy and painful like my usual periods so I don't think it is. Also I've only come off the pill 3 months ago so cycle is a bit out of whack I expect 😕

@Bamboogie86 my boobs are still very sore aswell 😢 xx

FairyHedgehogg · 22/09/2017 19:36

I had a 'period' when I was TTC - quite light but went on for about ten days. Thought I definitely wasn't pregnant and as I was on holiday drank quite a bit of wine and went on loads of rollercosters. About a week later I started to have nausea and indigestion... and a strongly positive pregnancy test.

When I went for the 12 week scan it turned out I was 15 and a half weeks - basically a cycle more pregnant than I thought. She's just turned one!

sazzle3 · 22/09/2017 19:31

@Bamboogie86 yeh my periods are like that with clots but this one isn't it's not heavy but it's not light it's just in between. It don't feel like a proper period at all xx

tamepanda · 22/09/2017 19:17

I had one of those weird lighter periods in April 2015, then two normal ones and then no period in July, took a test - positive then went for an early scan in August andddddd I was 19 weeks and 1 day!! 😱😱😱
She'll be two in January and her siblings will be making an appearance next month!

Babayaggatheboneylegged · 22/09/2017 19:02

Sorry, posted too soon!
Proceeded to make the most of NOT being pregnant - couple of big nights out.
Discovered at the '12 week' scan that it must have been implantation bleeding.
It can be heavier than you'd imagine!

Babayaggatheboneylegged · 22/09/2017 18:59

When I was trying for baby no.2 I came off the pill and then had bleeding that I assumed was a period. Had had implantation bleeding with my first, but it was very light.
Thought, 'oh well,' and proceeded

Ttbb · 22/09/2017 18:20

I had a period same as usual the first month into my second pregnancy-didn't suspect a thing but apparently it happens. Good luck!

@Sazzle3 my periods are exactly the same so I hear ya. My periods are NEVER late, always very predictable and the same flow etc. Usually have the clots the lot (sorry of tmi). This time I don't which is weird and have only needed pads.

I'll do first morning urine tomorrow and let you all know. Thanks everyone always appreciate your answers on here x

Try a first response test, they are expensive but usually more reliable and easier to read if I remember correctly.
I had a quite heavy implantation bleed with my DC, almost the same as a period so it's possible.
Hope you get the result you want

4thtime · 22/09/2017 18:03

Stay well away from asdas tests! This is where I got my false positive, if u google it u will see they are renowned for it, try doing a first response

Positive test...whilst on period? Wtf?
sazzle3 · 22/09/2017 18:00

Are your periods normally late ? I'd take another with fmu and see what it says.
I'm always on time every month for AF and this month I was 5 days late then af arrived but it's still really light where I'm always heavy( my periods are always heavy and I go through 3+ boxes of super plus Tampax). I'm never late ever and thought I might have been pregnant I hit really sore boobs (still have) and was feeling really sick:

You will have to keep us updated:

HeartStrings · 22/09/2017 17:49

I'd recommend a digital OP. From what you've said it should be the right time for it to be able to pick up an accurate result
