Most women know that every month, around the middle of the cycle, there are days when conception is most likely. Some are waiting for them with caution, others with hope. Most women are sure that if their periods come on time, there is no delay, which means there is no pregnancy.
Someone sighs with relief and puts a new mark on the calendar for the beginning of the next cycle. Someone, on the contrary, is upset because the desired pregnancy did not happen. But in nature, events do not always develop the way you are used to.
Features of the female cycle
A woman’s cycle is the interval from the first day of her period to the next moment of its onset. Its average duration is one lunar month or 28 days. But this is on average. In practice, there can be both very short, 21 days, and longer, up to 37 days, cycles.
Any cycle can be divided into two phases, the first of which ends with ovulation, which lasts about a day or two. The second, which begins after it, is the actual menstrual bleeding, the duration of which can vary from three to seven days.
Everything is regulated by two hormones: follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones, which are produced by the pituitary gland. The cycle itself is divided into three main phases:
- The follicular or menstrual phase begins on the first day of the cycle, that is, from the moment the next menstruation begins and continues approximately until its middle. During this time, under the influence of the hormone that actually gives this phase its name, one of the follicles matures in the ovaries, which becomes dominant and in the future will give rise to a new egg.
- The ovulatory phase begins with the rupture of the membrane of the dominant follicle and the release of an egg ready for fertilization. This phase can last from 12 hours to two days.
- Luteal is the third and final phase of the cycle, controlled by luteinizing hormone. It begins after ovulation, with the formation of the corpus luteum in the body - a temporary endocrine gland that produces hormones designed to maintain pregnancy. Of course, if conception occurred in the second phase of the cycle. If this does not happen, then the corpus luteum simply stops working. The decreasing level of hormones, mainly progesterone, leads to the rejection of the uterine mucosa, menstruation begins and a new cycle begins.
When pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum remains until the placenta is formed, which takes over its function. Hormone levels rise and menstruation does not occur.

How does a pregnancy test work?
However, events do not always develop according to this scenario. There are cases when the expected delay in pregnancy does not occur, menstruation came strictly on schedule, and the pregnancy test shows a positive result. Although it seems that this is impossible. To understand the reason for this, you first need to figure out what exactly it reacts to.
Approximately on the fifth to seventh day from the moment of fertilization, the egg enters the uterus, where it attaches to one of its walls. The outer shell that has formed by this time, the chorion, has many blood vessels and not only provides adequate nutrition to the fetus, but also produces a special hormone designed to maintain pregnancy.
It is the presence of this hormone, which gets its name from the shell, that determines the pregnancy test.
If the test is positive
Normally, human chorionic gonadotropin is not formed in the body of a non-pregnant woman, and the most sensitive test can detect it at a minimum concentration in the urine of 25 mU/ml. However, it happens that your period came on time, and after it the test unexpectedly showed two stripes. This happens in two cases:
- If pregnancy does occur, but your period comes exactly on time.
- If there is no pregnancy, your period has started, but the test determines the presence of gonadotropin in the urine.
In addition to confirming pregnancy, gonadotropin serves as an indicator of its normal course and helps to identify various abnormalities.
That is why the hCG test is one of the main ones and is taken throughout the entire period of gestation.
The feasibility and effectiveness of conducting a pregnancy test during menstruation
Absolutely all testing methods for the presence or absence of pregnancy are based on the same principle: measuring levels in the urine. The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin is present in everyone’s blood – but in small doses.
And during pregnancy, its content begins to increase. First, the level of hCG seriously increases in the blood, and then the hormone enters the urine. And it becomes possible to determine pregnancy with its help.
A special substance with which the pharmaceutical applicator is impregnated, in contact with urine, reacts with hCG if the amount of the hormone is sufficient for such an interaction. As a result, a second strip appears on the applicator, indicating pregnancy. This is how tests work.
And it doesn’t matter at all whether there is bleeding at the moment. Their presence does not affect the result. If fertilization has occurred, a pregnancy test during your period will most likely be positive.
True, these secretions will then be called completely differently. But the fact remains a fact, and the answer is clear: testing during menstruation is possible.
Menstruation during pregnancy
Quite often, the signs of pregnancy in the early stages are similar in PMS. A woman experiences nausea in the morning, which she blames on diet errors. He suffers from insomnia and irritability, which he blames on his cycle, hormones, or troubles at work.
But her period came on time, without delays, and this makes her finally convinced that there is no pregnancy. However, this is not always the case.
Causes
Menstruation in the early stages of pregnancy is a rare phenomenon, but still occurs. Their presence does not always indicate the development of pathology; quite often, menstruation is a type of normal. There may be several such situations.
An egg that has not had time to implant
It happens that the fertilized egg does not have time to leave the fallopian tube and becomes fixed in the uterine cavity. In this case, it does not provoke the production of hormones aimed at preserving the embryo.
The body does not yet know about the pregnancy and events develop according to the usual scenario. The mucous layer of the uterus becomes thinner, dries out and is rejected, and menstruation occurs without delay. All this time, the embryo is in the cavity of the tube, and then it is fixed on the new endometrial layer.
This happens especially often with a short cycle of 21 days.
Double ovulation
Two eggs mature in the body simultaneously or with a break of several days. One of them is fertilized, and the one that is unlucky comes out along with the next menstruation, which also comes without delay.
According to statistics, such a repeated surge of hormones, provoking the maturation of another egg, occurs in approximately 10% of women. The nature of this phenomenon has not yet been sufficiently studied; scientists have not been able to find out exactly what exactly can trigger the maturation of two eggs at once. It is believed that stressful situations, irregular sex life and even certain foods are responsible for this.
Implantation bleeding
This bleeding, which occurs after the egg attaches to the endometrium of the uterus, is quite often confused with menstruation, especially if it is prolonged and begins on the usual day.
When the embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus, damage occurs to the vessels with which it is quite densely penetrated. Implantation bleeding occurs approximately 10–14 days after conception.
If your cycle is 28 days, then it is quite easy to confuse it with the onset of menstruation.
Other reasons
In both situations, the expected delay in menstruation will most likely occur in the second month of pregnancy. However, sometimes this does not happen either. The reasons that menstrual bleeding occurs in the second and even third month may be:
- Hormonal imbalances, especially those associated with insufficient progesterone production.
- Hyperandrogenism, in which the body begins to produce the male sex hormone – androgen.
- Attachment of the egg in an unfavorable place.
- Inflammatory or infectious diseases.
- Death of one of the embryos in case of multiple pregnancy.
- Uterine fibroids.
- A frozen or ectopic pregnancy that also tests positive.
What should be done?
If your period comes in the first month of pregnancy, then this is not a reason to panic. This type of bleeding usually:
- Has a weak character.
- Pink or brown discharge.
- It does not get worse over time, but, on the contrary, goes away within a day or two at most.
Most likely, it is associated with egg implantation. However, even this should not be ignored.
Any bleeding that occurs during pregnancy, especially if it occurs in the second or third month, requires immediate medical attention.
Also dangerous are bleeding at any stage, accompanied by pain, dizziness, pallor, a drop in blood pressure and rapid heartbeat.
Positive result after menstruation
However, it happens that there is no pregnancy, the period came on time, but after it the test unexpectedly showed two stripes. That is, human chorionic gonadotropin is present in the body, and in quite large quantities.
Causes
If you do not take into account the low quality of the test, defects, expired expiration dates or improper storage, there may be several reasons for the presence of the hormone in the body:
- The urine sample contained intimate soap or cream, to which the dye substance reacted.
- Erroneous use instead of urine, saliva or blood, which may also contain their own hormones that can cause a test reaction.
- Pregnancy interrupted naturally, most often due to hormonal imbalances in the early stages. The likelihood of such an event remains until 12 weeks, while a delay in menstruation may not occur, and the test result will be positive.
- HCG drugs, which are prescribed to stimulate ovulation or to maintain the function of the corpus luteum of the ovaries.
- Tumor diseases of the ovaries or uterus.
However, in order to exclude the first two reasons for false-positive results, it is enough to use sterile containers for collecting urine or a jet test for analysis. It is better to carry out the analysis in the morning, when the concentration of the hormone in the urine will be higher.
What should be done?
If you purchased a high-quality, accurate test, used it correctly, but are sure that it showed an erroneous result, you can repeat the test in two or three days. But in any case, you should not completely rely on home express methods. Regardless of the result, visit your doctor and undergo a full examination.
Only a specialist will be able to accurately determine the cause of the production of human chorionic gonadotropin in the absence of pregnancy and prescribe appropriate treatment.
The female body is individual and often unpredictable, especially during pregnancy. Hormones are responsible for many processes in it, the production of which can be influenced even by changing moods and bad weather outside the window. Therefore, in case of any troubles or changes in your condition, do not delay visiting a specialist.
If there are no reasons for concern, it won’t hurt anyone to make sure of this once again. If trouble does happen, the sooner the doctor notices it, the greater the chance of minimizing its consequences.
For every woman, two stripes give the opportunity to experience not just a period, but a whole small journey in which only she communicates with the baby. The whole family eagerly and tremblingly awaits the appearance of the main member of the family. Parents can only wait for the baby, and in their free time fantasize about what the baby will be like.
As for the process of the emergence of a new life, it is peculiar, unique and has its own development scenario. Some mothers find out about pregnancy by taking a test, while others focus on the delay and changes occurring in the body. Due to the fact that the female body is such an amazing and unpredictable system, only a specialist can determine pregnancy. Such situations are represented by the beginning of menstruation with a positive test result. What does this situation mean? How to behave? We'll tell you everything in this article.

Natalya asks:
Hello. I had my period on January 11, 2016, when I was late, I took pregnancy tests and they were all positive. One fine day I started bleeding and had brown discharge, I went to an uzist, I didn’t see the pregnancy, but she told me to take a hCG test, I took it, the first result was 63.8, after three days 324, after a week I went for an ultrasound again and still can’t find the fertilized egg
Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna answers:
Hello, Natalia! I suspect an ectopic pregnancy. I advise you to further take an hCG test and undergo a control ultrasound scan. In case of tubal pregnancy, the fallopian tube should be visualized on ultrasound. You should contact a gynecologist with the results of the examinations.

Inna asks:
You asked, I answer: I am 42 years old. I HAVE ONE PREGNANCY. After menstruation (5-7 days last), after about two days I am bothered by discharge in the form of transparent mucus (it does not itch. And sometimes the vaginal volume seems to swell, but not always) the cycle is 27 days. In general, during the examination, they found small dots on the cervix and put erosion into question. An ultrasound WITHOUT PATHOLOGIES WAS DONE IN SIMFEROPOL, AND IN ANOTHER PLACE THEY DID CERVICITIS (THE GYNECOLOGIST SAW IT ON AN ULTRASOUND). HUSBAND SOMETIMES HURTS THERE AND HIS TESTS ARE GOOD - ALL NEGATIVE. MY PCR blood and scrapings are all negative. ELISA is only positive for chlamydia (BUT ITS TITLES ARE FALLING AND GROWING FROM 1.5 TO 2.2 (BLUE LABORATORY) CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATE DURING THE LAST 8 MONTHS, THEREFORE THE ANTIBODIES ARE POSITIVE) PAP test: cytogram without intraepithelial lesions, without atypia, no specific infectious agents, inflammatory including reparative moderately severe, squamous epithelium not found, glandular epithelium not found. Microflora smear analysis: point 1 leukocytes 0-3, single erythrocytes, epithelium in large quantities, mucus in the palate in quantity, flora: Dederlein bacilli in the dead quantity, small ones in the dead quantity, single cocci point 2: leukocytes 4-6. single erythrocytes, large quantity of epithelium, single quantity of mucus in the palate, single quantity of dederl rods, single quantity of leptothrix threads. point 3: leukocytes 1-3 partly destroyed, erythrocytes 3-5, epithelium in large quantities, mucus in dead quantities. Dederlein sticks in a small number, small in a large number. In my bacterial culture of a smear from the cervical canal, urethra and vaginal contents, the flora Staphylococcus fecalis was isolated. Scanty growth from the cervical, moderate growth from the urethra and vaginal contents, but no numerical value is indicated. Is it necessary to treat it, is it dangerous? Please give recommendations. Thank you
Victoria Olegovna Petropavlovskaya answers:
Inna, good afternoon. Discharge after menstruation in the form of mucus may indicate early ovulation. To make sure of this, do an ultrasound during the period when the discharge begins. The results of the analysis revealed no pathology.

Svetlana asks:
Hello! My period was 14 days late, my period came then during the delay I took pregnancy tests and they were positive. I did an ultrasound, the doctor found nothing, and neither did the gynecologist! After a month, tests show a negative result, what is this for?
Wild Nadezhda Ivanovna answers:
This could be: either a cheap pregnancy test, or there was a corpus luteum cyst, they usually go away on their own after menstruation, or perhaps there was a short pregnancy and was terminated.

Svetlana asks:
Good afternoon Please tell me the reasons for the delay in menstruation. My boyfriend and I were intimate on November 16, because the condom broke to avoid pregnancy, I took gynepristone, a day later, that is, on November 18, my period began and lasted almost a week. On December 12, I had unprotected sexual intercourse, the guy didn’t cum inside me, but after that I have no periods, tell me what’s causing the delay? Is this a hormonal imbalance or something else and can a pregnancy test show a false positive result? thank you very much in advance

Ekaterina asks:
Hello. I am 26 years old, I have not given birth, there have been no pregnancies. Now my husband and I really want a child, we have not been using protection for 5 months, but pregnancy is not occurring. In mid-October, my menstrual cycle went wrong - after the end of my regular periods, 3 days later I started again, with the same intensity. I went to the gynecologist, she sent me for an ultrasound, which showed that I had a 4 cm cyst on my left ovary. The doctor prescribed Ovarium compositum and tranex to stop the bleeding. I took tranex for 3 days, it seemed to help, I went for a repeat ultrasound at another clinic. They said there was NO cyst! Could it have disappeared in 3 days or did I just get an incompetent specialist in the first case (the entire examination took no more than 2 minutes)? Yes, I also took a pregnancy test before and after my period, it was positive both times, but the ultrasound did not confirm the pregnancy, neither one nor the other. In general, my periods come every day, like clockwork, but between them the spotting has not stopped for the 3rd month. It feels like my periods don’t stop at all, they just get stronger and weaker. At the same time, physically I feel quite normal, nothing hurts. During this time, I took a pregnancy test two more times, it was consistently positive, but the ultrasound did not show either pregnancy or a cyst, everything was perfect on the ultrasound! I examined the thyroid gland, everything is also normal. Doctors say it may be a hormonal imbalance; I experienced severe stress at the end of September. But why is the cycle not restored? My husband and I really want a child, but for now we limit sexual intercourse to 1-2 times a week, which is scary in my situation. By the way, I don’t experience any physical discomfort during sex either. And most importantly, the test is positive, which means my hCG is elevated. Doctors shrug their shoulders...Please advise what I should do, how to recover? I don’t understand anything anymore what’s happening to me... . Thank you very much.
Palyga Igor Evgenievich answers:
I advise you to donate blood for hCG over time, every 3 days. to know specific numbers. In non-pregnant women, hCG can be elevated only during hydatidiform mole, but it gives a characteristic picture on ultrasound (blizzard). A frozen pregnancy is possible, which causes bleeding. In any case, you need an experienced ultrasound specialist who will competently conduct the examination. Your situation is not normal; there should be deviations on ultrasound. After donating blood for hCG, write down the results obtained, we will be more specific.

Natalya asks:
Good afternoon In this cycle, my husband and I planned a pregnancy, the cycle was regular for 28-27 days, on the 22nd day of the cycle spotting began and lasted for two days. I thought that my period had started and I started drinking Yarina. I took 4 tablets and took a pregnancy test just in case after such a strange spot and it was positive. Tell me if I can stop taking Yarina, and whether there will be withdrawal bleeding. Is there a risk for possible pregnancy?Thank you
Elena Anatolyevna Kravchenko answers:
Good day, Natalia! If you were planning a pregnancy, then why did you start taking Yarina? If you stop taking the drug, there will indeed be withdrawal bleeding. Visit your doctor, get further examination and solve this problem together with your gynecologist.

Igor asks:
Hello! My girlfriend and I had sex for the first time after menstruation on the 16th, now it’s the 29th, she took two pregnancy tests. both showed positive results. There's still a week left until my period. Sex was protected (condom). Is this really pregnancy? What to do? I'm panicking...
Purpura Roksolana Yosipovna answers:
To know 100%, the girl needs to donate blood for hCG (chorionic gonadotropin-pregnancy hormone), its indicator will record the evidence of pregnancy. Early tests may give false results.

Nina asks:
Hello! I am 31 years old. Menstrual c. irregular (every 32-34.36 days), from 13 years. At the age of 19, I had cervical erosion + infectious diseases (calpitis, etc. I can’t remember exactly). They did cauterization (laser) 2 times, there were no problems after that. I gave birth at the age of 25 (I didn’t manage to get pregnant right away, only a year later). This year (in May) during a routine examination, my doctor discovered erosion + I had complaints about heavy discharge. She dissuaded me from cauterizing the erosion - she argued that she now has a busy work schedule (we have only one for the entire region), it was postponed to June - July. In June, the delay was 10 days, the pregnancy test was weakly positive. My period came on June 16, heavy, followed by yellow discharge with a fishy smell. The pregnancy test is still positive. Ultrasound data on the 11th day of pregnancy: the body of the uterus is 55-42-51 mm, the contours are smooth, the echo structure is homogeneous, the endometrium is 12 mm. with hypoechoic inclusions up to 5 mm. , right ovary – 46-30mm. with liquid inclusion of echostr. 35-28mm. , left ovary – 32-20mm, conclusion – phallicular cyst of the right ovary. Smear for gonococci (I can’t decipher exactly) leukocytes 12-15, in the urethra 8-10?, epithelium 8-10, in the urethra 6-9?. The doctor diagnosed calpitis + pregnancy under? .Prescribed Betadine suppositories - 10 days. 1 St. and repeat the test after 10 days, ultrasound on the 5th day. The test was positive after 10 days. but treatment with suppositories did not help. result - the discharge went away, itching appeared. My period came on July 14 (after 28 days). Ultrasound data (7 d.c.) – uterine body 55-37-50mm. in retroflexio. The contours are smooth, echo sharp. homogeneous. Endometrium 7mm. the uterine cavity is smooth. Cervix with ore N ceb (?) up to 6 mm. Right ovary 33-21mm. in it the bed of the cystic inclusion is 13 mm, heterogeneous. echostr.? , left ovary 30-16mm, conclusion - more data for the remainder. phallic phenomena. cysts on the right. A smear for oncocytology - the cytogram is inflamed. Yesterday we did a PCR test (on the recommendation of another doctor - my doctor is on vacation). The gynecologist said that the erosion is very large and that it is necessary to treat first the inflammation and infections that provoked this erosion, and then only the erosion. This year I wanted to get pregnant (six months - to no avail) will it work? Now I have many questions. If the HPV 16 -18 virus is detected, how scary is it in my case? And what did the ultrasound show on the cervix (I’m very afraid if it’s cancer) Why did the test stripe? (I read that it can streak from a cyst or due to the presence of a tumor.) Yes, my son had a PCR test when he was 4 years old - it’s positive. HSV and chlamydia viruses. The infectious disease doctor said that every 2nd person has this virus and there is no need to treat it.
Wild Nadezhda Ivanovna answers:
Diagnosis: Follicular cyst of the right ovary. Cervical erosion. colpitis Required: 1. blood test for RV, HIV, general blood test. 2. Select adequate contraception - low-dose oral contraceptives (for the treatment of follicular cysts) 3. Culture of secretions, smear on flora. Treatment of colpitis with parallel treatment of a partner. 4. Colposcopy, cervical biopsy followed by cauterization. 5. Vaccination with the HPV vaccine - Cervarix. 6. restoration of microflora in the intestines and vagina. If all this cannot be done in one antenatal clinic, do it in a antenatal clinic in another area, preferably in a cervical and uterine body pathology office. But get treatment, because this is your health and your life. A pregnancy test can be positive if: there is pregnancy, a corpus luteum cyst, the presence of a hydatidiform mole, a poor-quality test with improper storage..... Do not be nervous and do not attribute diseases to yourself - after all, you yourself wrote “oncocytology - cytogram is inflamed.” , i.e. inflammatory type of cytology. it is necessary to find the pathogen and treat it.

Maria asks:
Current age - 20 Age of onset of menstruation - 13 Date of last menstruation - 01/28/2011 Duration of the menstrual cycle - 21-60 days Duration of bleeding - from 03/02/2011 to 04/04/2011 (stopped by instrumental diagnostic curettage) Pregnancies - how they ended - spontaneous miscarriage under?
Dear doctor, please express your assumptions about my situation. I had NMC for a very long time, in 2008 I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome and prescribed hormonal medications - I took a course of Yarina (I took it for about 1.5 years), but my hormonal levels did not improve and I did not consider it necessary to continue treatment. The situation changed somewhat in 2011, on February 14 I had an unprotected PA, after a delay I took a test (2 pieces), it was negative, and I didn’t believe in the possibility of getting pregnant. After about a few days, I began to feel a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen, my breasts became swollen, they became sore and drowsy, but I chalked it up to prolonged PMS. On 03/02/20011 I started having faint pink discharge, which developed into something incredibly similar to menstruation. This lasted about a week and I went to the gynecologist. The gynecologist prescribed me “Duphaston” for 10 days and “Ditsinon”, saying that as soon as I start drinking them, the bleeding will stop, but that was not the case, as it flowed on and on, then there was the next gynecologist who treated me with homeopathy, during the period from 25.03. From 2011 to 04/01/2011 there was no bleeding, on 04/04/2011 I again went to the “homeopath” gynecologist, he called an ambulance and they took me to the hospital. At the hospital they did an ultrasound and gave me a pregnancy test, it turned out to be positive, and the doctors gave me an instrumental diagnostic curettage, the bleeding stopped, according to the doctors, they found something very similar to the remains of a fertilized egg, on 04/07/2011 I was again given a pregnancy test, which again turned out to be positive, by the way, not a single ultrasound revealed any pregnancy in the uterus or in the tubes, or rather, the tubes on ultrasound were of normal size. After the second positive (paper) test, they wanted to do a laparoscopy because... The doctors suspected an ectopic pregnancy, I already had to offer them to do an hCG test for me, now I’m sitting waiting for the result. I’m attaching the results of ultrasounds done at different times, maybe this will help clarify the situation
07.07. 2011 Endometrium, functional layer thickness 9 mm, does not correspond to the day of the menstrual cycle Diagnosis: Erosion and ectopion of the cervix. Other non-inflammatory diseases of the ovary, fallopian tube and broad ligament of the uterus. 03/11/2011 (“Duphaston and “Ditsinon” were prescribed) Endometrium, functional layer thickness 1.4 mm, hyperechoic Diagnosis: NMC, bleeding, ectopia of the uterus, endometrial hyperplasia 03/16/2011 The thickness of the endometrium is unknown, because no ultrasound was done After examination using speculum, diagnosis: abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified 03/24/2011
Conclusion: PCOS (scleropolycystic ovary disease) Diagnosis: abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified, endometrial hyperplasia 04/04/2011 Endometrium, functional layer thickness 1.8 mm, which corresponds to the 1st day of MC Diagnosis of metrorrhogia, ovarian failure. 04/04/2011 Endometrium, the thickness of the functional layer is 4 mm, does not correspond to the day of the menstrual cycle. (here the ultrasound also showed different things on the same day)
The question is why after curettage the test remains positive, what is the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy? and in general, a specialist’s opinion, what to do, agree to laparoscopy or ask for additional non-surgical diagnostics?
In the early stages of pregnancy, a woman may experience spotting. Therefore, even if your test is positive and your period has arrived, pregnancy should not be ruled out. Is this situation dangerous, what needs to be done and how to protect the baby?
The body's reaction to pregnancy
According to experts, not a single woman can accurately indicate early pregnancy. This can be done using a test. However, it would be safer to visit a gynecologist.
However, medicine has precise symptoms in its arsenal that indicate pregnancy.
So, the symptoms are as follows:
- Sudden changes in mood. In some cases, aggressiveness gains such intensity that the woman is unable to cope with the emotions that arise. Of course, before menstruation, a woman’s mood also changes. However, their intensity is weaker. Sudden mood swings indicate hormonal changes occurring in the female body. This symptom occurs first.
- Other taste preferences. Pregnancy makes adjustments to taste preferences. With the onset of pregnancy, a woman can eat something that she has not eaten before.
- Toxicosis. This symptom is familiar to almost every woman and complicates life in the first three months. As for the brightness and nature of toxicosis, they depend on the individual characteristics of the organism. Some women have a hard time with toxicosis, while others are partially affected.
- Slight enlargement of the mammary glands. As a rule, the symptom occurs in women in late pregnancy in anticipation of breastfeeding. But some women notice changes in early pregnancy.
- Lack of menstrual cycle. The absence of menstruation indicates the conception of a child. Often menstruation returns to normal after stopping breastfeeding.
Positive test and period
I'm 4 days late. My tummy hurt on the expected day I started. I took a test this morning according to all the rules. Positive. The second strip is weaker than the control, but clear. Evitest. Frau made it yesterday. The second one was very light. But it was. After the test today, a couple of hours later, my stomach began to ache and my period started... I look at the two stripes and cry. Both my husband and I are in good health. I was examined, I am being monitored constantly... What is it?... Did I break down?
if your period has already begun, then running around to doctors and hospitals will not help, it’s too late, the process has begun, if it exists at all, this pregnancy. What is there to save after 4 days of delay?
Nothing could have gone wrong there. You can do the test after a five-day delay. This is more likely a malfunction, if not a tumor... We need to get checked
author, I was 9 days late and started bleeding! My stomach didn’t even hurt. Test with a bright 2 strip. I went to the nearest maternity hospital - it wasn’t visible on the ultrasound, they said there was nothing to save! like, forget it ((HCG test - 13. And every day it’s less... Check. There’s no ectopic on ultrasound! There’s no point in saving this period... don’t worry. After 4 months, everything turned out as it should! The doctor told me. It’s an early miscarriage terms - this is a defective fetus. There was no reason for this at all! Genetic failure. maybe
Good night! I have the following situation. I had sex with my partner a week ago. The next day I got my period. About two days ago, nausea started and I vomited at night. Yesterday evening I bought a test, it shows 2 stripes. Is pregnancy possible in this case or are these false processes of “pregnancy” in the body (I read somewhere that this happens)? Are there other ways to confirm/refute pregnancy?
Help me please. I had a delay of 9 days, I took a test, there is a second line, but it’s weak. The next day we went to M. I have a feeling in my lower abdomen.

Characteristic signs
In addition to the main symptoms, pregnancy is accompanied by other specific manifestations. Such phenomena are represented by lack of sleep, malaise and lethargy. In addition, a pregnant woman perceives odors differently and feels a metallic taste in her mouth.
All of the above symptoms, although they indicate pregnancy, do not provide a 100% guarantee. To confirm or refute pregnancy, a test must be done. If the result is positive, the woman must register with the clinic. The woman has 9 long months ahead, which will give her parents the meaning of life. The birth of a new person is always a holiday. The parents have long, sleepless nights ahead, and at the same time so happy.
Relationship between pregnancy and menstruation
To give the correct answer to the question - does the monthly cycle begin after the test shows a positive result, it is worth understanding the processes occurring in the body of women. The main stage of the menstrual cycle is the process of egg maturation. If the egg remains unfertilized, it leaves the endometrium. This is called the menstrual cycle.
If the egg has been fertilized, then changes occur in the body that prepare the woman for future childbirth. The body spends all assets to preserve the embryo. During pregnancy, there is a sharp increase in the content of the hormone progesterone in the body. It is responsible for enlarging the inner lining of the uterus. Moreover, progesterone prevents contraction of the uterine muscles.
From all of the above, it follows that menstruation and pregnancy are, although interconnected, rare phenomena. However, there are cases when the test shows 2 stripes and the menstrual cycle has begun as planned. What is the reason?
According to scientists, menstruation in the first months of pregnancy is acceptable. More likely, the egg was fertilized in the middle of the cycle, as a result of which the body was not rebuilt. This is explained by the fact that the fertilized egg did not have time to reach the uterus and gain a foothold in it. Typically, the process takes from 5 to 14 days. Normally, the next month should not be accompanied by menstruation. If spotting occurs again, then this is a reason to contact a gynecologist.
Some women are unaware of pregnancy due to the fact that the menstrual cycle follows a schedule. So, what are the main reasons:
- Hormonal imbalance. If the test result showed 2 stripes and menstruation came as planned, then most likely the woman’s body lacks the main female hormone - progesterone. Women note discharge of low intensity. Taking into account the unstable hormonal background of women, menstruation can be observed during the first trimester, involving the second. To eliminate the problem, a course of drugs representing a progesterone analogue is prescribed.
- Presence of 2 eggs. Thanks to this, the maturation of the egg occurs in parallel. However, only one is fertilized while the second leaves the female body.
- Unfavorable location of the egg. If the egg is located in a dangerous place, this will affect the blood circulation process. This kind of violation can lead to egg rejection.
- Frozen pregnancy.
Each of the above reasons can lead to miscarriage, which is accompanied by spotting. To avoid the development of such problems, the woman is prescribed a course of therapy.
Of course, there are other reasons why the menstrual cycle begins with a positive test result. Experts do not classify other causes as dangerous. In this situation, the menstrual cycle begins at a certain point. It is worth noting that the cycle is characterized by different intensity and duration. As for the duration, it can vary within one day or several.
Can I get my period during pregnancy?
Despite the rapid development of technology and healthcare, humanity still cannot fully explain the processes occurring in a woman’s body during pregnancy. Even now it is almost impossible to predict how pregnancy will proceed, because this process is individual for each woman. Sometimes the development of pregnancy can be so unusual that only specialists can recognize the birth of a new life.
First signs of pregnancy:
- toxicosis;
- sudden mood changes;
- irritability.
If these signs appear, you should do a special test, and it is best to consult a doctor.
The most reliable evidence of pregnancy is a special test and the cessation of menstruation, but sometimes these two signs can contradict each other.
Why do periods come during pregnancy? Immediately after the development of the embryo begins in the uterus, the woman’s body produces a special complex of hormones. In particular, the amount of progesterone produced greatly increases; this hormone regulates the growth of the inner uterine lining and practically paralyzes the muscles of the uterus to eliminate the possibility of accidental rejection of the fetus.
Menstruation is a process in which the old egg is excreted from the body along with part of the inner lining of the uterus, therefore, with increased progesterone levels, menstruation is almost impossible.
If the test is positive and your period has arrived, then most often there is no reason to worry about the child’s health. Menstruation can come 5-14 days after conception, and there is nothing strange about this. The fact is that until the fertilized egg reaches the uterus, all processes in the woman’s body occur as usual, and the movement of the embryo can take up to two weeks. Therefore, if conception occurred in the middle of the menstrual cycle, then in the first month of pregnancy a delay in menstruation may not be observed. But if menstruation does not stop for two months, then it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible, since the consequences can be unpredictable.
How to recognize a miscarriage?
Non-dangerous discharge occurs due to active movements, which disappear at night. Dangerous situations are represented by discomfort, nagging pain in the lower abdomen. If the expectant mother has a fairly strong immune system, then it is likely that the body will be able to cope with the problem.
A woman’s body is a finely tuned system; its work is controlled by dozens of hormones. The slightest internal disruptions or external influences can lead to imbalance of the hormonal system. Representatives of the fairer sex react especially subtly to monthly cyclical changes. By being sexually active, a couple either plans to have a child or is protected from a currently unwanted conception.
Ideally, the onset of menstruation indicates the onset of a new cycle, and a delay indicates successful conception, but not everything is so simple in the female body. There are often cases when a girl confuses the symptoms of PMS and pregnancy, buys a test strip, gets a positive test - and her period begins. There are several reasons for this, including ectopic implantation of the fertilized egg, genetic disorders in its development, early miscarriage or hormonal imbalance.
The principle of operation of the test strip is its reaction to the content of the hCG hormone in a woman’s urine
, which is formed only in the event of fertilization. The cause of bleeding in the first weeks after conception can be an ectopic pregnancy.
The fertilized egg does not immediately attach to the inner surface of the uterus; within 5–7 days it moves through the fallopian tube. If the fertilized egg cannot pass into the organ cavity, it attaches to the inner surface of the tube, and pregnancy develops outside the uterus. As the fetus divides, it grows, ruptures the tube, and causes bleeding. The woman thinks her period has arrived. If accompanied by acute pain, you should immediately consult a doctor. Delay is fraught with the development of peritonitis.
The test also shows two stripes in the case when during the cycle two eggs matured in parallel, but only one of them was fertilized. A fertilized egg goes through its required growth phases, and unused biomaterial leaves the body as usual.
Errors in the study itself cannot be ruled out. A positive test during menstruation occurs due to incorrect urine collection or due to a defective measuring device. In this case, you need to purchase a test strip from another manufacturer and repeat the test. A more reliable result will be provided by a laboratory blood test.
If the test is positive even after your period, contact your gynecologist, he will prescribe a set of studies that will help determine the cause of these mutually exclusive phenomena.
Miscarriage
If the test showed 2 lines and spotting began, this may be the first sign of spontaneous abortion. In this case, you need to contact a gynecologist, since it is quite difficult to do it on your own. Depending on the situation and stage of the miscarriage, the doctor will be able to decide whether to save the child.
It is worth noting that in some cases, the fertilized egg attaches to the wrong place in the uterus, and the body rejects it. A positive test and menstruation can also coincide when the fetus has abnormalities that will not allow it to develop normally. The female body recognizes defects and rejects the embryo in the first weeks of its development. In both cases, the level of the hCG hormone is high enough for the test to be positive.
The risk of miscarriage is high if:
- The fetus has chromosomal defects incompatible with life.
- The mother has hormonal imbalances.
- Shortly before conception or in the early stages of pregnancy, a woman suffered from a viral disease.
- The mother is sick with sexually transmitted diseases.
- Anatomical defects of the reproductive organs were diagnosed.
- Weakness of the cervix was detected.
- Rhesus conflict between mother and child.
Excessive physical and emotional stress, falls and injuries can trigger a miscarriage.
It is customary to distinguish between a threat and several stages of miscarriage.
Incipient miscarriage
A miscarriage is the spontaneous termination of pregnancy before 28 weeks. Before the 14th week, a miscarriage is considered early, from the 14th to the 28th - late. If there is a history of several miscarriages, there is a high probability of cases of threatened miscarriage in subsequent attempts at motherhood. In the early stages, a woman may not be aware of her interesting situation, and she mistakes the discharge characteristic of a miscarriage for menstruation.
Symptoms:
- nagging pain in the lower back and lower abdomen;
- bloody issues.
However, these same manifestations are also characteristic of menstruation. The true cause can only be determined through a medical examination, after which the doctor will decide on the possibility of continuing the pregnancy.
Miscarriage in progress
It is also called inevitable abortion
. If the period is minimal, and the delay is several days, the woman may think that her periods are more painful and heavy than usual. The symptoms increase, the process is accompanied by very severe cramping pain. The intensity of bleeding increases, the cervix shortens and dilates. At this stage, most often there is nothing left to save, because the fertilized egg has left the uterine cavity, so the doctor may recommend a procedure.
Delayed positive test, period arrived
Positive test and period
I have the same situation, 5 positive tests, 12th day of delay, but the blood started not as usual with M, I went straight for an ultrasound and they said it’s a left ovarian cyst, although I don’t see that my period should start, they say either the period is too short or not B. She told me to donate blood for hCG, we’ll see))) if the blood doesn’t go away by Monday, I’ll donate, if not) then just menstruation((((and we couldn’t be happier ((((good luck to all girls***
girls, I'm a week late, I took the Evi test, the second stripes were weak, yesterday I did ClearBlue, it showed + (positive) 1-2 weeks. I was happy)) But today my period started, not very strong, but it's coming, my stomach is pulling and I'm still nauseous. How do I understand all this? , digital test cheated?
Woman's tactics
When planning a pregnancy, you need to closely monitor your well-being and analyze the slightest changes in your condition. If you suspect conception has occurred, take a pregnancy test. Menstruation with a positive result is a reason to consult a doctor.
You should not take a pregnancy test during your period, as it may show an unreliable result. Get a laboratory test, this is the most reliable way to detect conception. If you have your period and the blood test for hCG is positive, the gynecologist will prescribe treatment aimed at successful pregnancy.
Every adult girl must know that pregnancy and menstruation are mutually exclusive concepts. But sometimes doubt arises. The question of whether it is possible to take a pregnancy test during menstruation interests many women of reproductive age. It is impossible to prohibit a woman from conducting home testing at any phase of her cycle. In addition, such a study has no contraindications. However, the decisive factor in this process is compliance with the rules and the correct interpretation of the results obtained.
Following the theory, there is no point in taking a pregnancy test during menstruation. The menstrual cycle is divided into three phases:
- (active growth and maturation of follicles occurs);
- ovulatory (the dominant follicle that releases the egg is determined);
- (a corpus luteum forms in place of the follicular sac).
Further, in the absence of pregnancy, menstruation begins - the rejection of the endometrium, which was grown to attach the fertilized egg. If conception has occurred, then menstruation does not come on the prescribed day. The fertilized egg is attached to the wall of the reproductive organ and uses the endometrium as a nutrient medium, in much the same way as a plant feeds from the soil. The corpus luteum, functioning at the site of the burst follicle, secretes progesterone, which supports the process of development of new life.
It is logical to say that a pregnancy test during menstruation will show a negative result. After all, if bleeding began, then conception did not take place. Despite the rule, there are always exceptions. It happens that before the delay, a positive test was received and menstruation began as usual. Or menstrual bleeding has ended, and the strip strip shows a positive response. Of course, in any doubtful situation you should contact a gynecologist or do an ultrasound on your own initiative, but knowing in advance about the causes of this condition will also not be superfluous.
The test is positive and my period started...
My sister on Thursday (June 17th) pleased me with two lines on the test, and on Sunday (June 19th) her period began (regular without lumps, but at the same time, as usual, her stomach was twisting and hurting) and the tests were not clear at all , that is, a very weak second stripe, it’s not there... we don’t know what to think. She doesn’t want to go to the doctor until her period is over.

It’s dangerous, of course, if she’s pregnant... I had my first daughter’s period until she was 16 weeks old... I drank Duphaston... but thank God there was no detachment... such a pregnancy, the doctors were in shock to be honest... with such bleeding... sometimes it was pouring up to my knees... but ugh Ugh we are almost 6 years old...
Hello. I have a similar situation; there was a 10-day delay, I did 5-6 tests and all were positive, I was very happy, the pregnancy was completed, and then this morning I felt a tugging in my lower abdomen, I saw it smearing, and then they started to go even more heavily, they called an ambulance, they looked at the gynecologist, then they sent me for an ultrasound and The doctor didn’t see the pregnancy, I was in shock... and still am! Tomorrow I will go to my doctor and have another ultrasound!
no, Tanya, unfortunately, or fortunately, there was no pregnancy then, although doctors say that there may have been a spontaneous miscarriage, pregnancy occurred the next month, after that! I wish you that everything is fine and the desired pregnancy occurs!
Thank you! Yes, they prescribed it, after that the uzist saw inflammation, etc., which made me shocked, they prescribed antibiotics to inject. I went through a course of treatment, and then it turned out that I was pregnant, how many worries because I took antibiotics at the beginning of pregnancy, the doctors say, think for yourself, I decided that I would give birth. like this.
You know, everything turned out well for my sister in the end, I learned from the doctor that there is rarely a very faint line in front of M, and the next month she became truly pregnant.

The test showed two lines, but menstruation began
If the test is positive, but your period has begun, then the first thing doctors will think about is the threat of interruption. Gynecological statistics show that every third expectant mother experiences this condition at different stages. The reasons for the threat can be very different:
- corpus luteum deficiency;
- formation of detachment and hematoma;
- abdominal trauma;
- disruptions in the functioning of the endocrine system;
- increased nervousness;
- hard physical labor;
- inaccurate gynecological examination;
- "aggressive" sexual intercourse.
In many cases, timely medical intervention and correctly chosen therapy will allow you to maintain the pregnancy so that the next menstruation begins only after childbirth.
Another reason that the test was positive and menstruation began a few days later is the incorrect use of the strip strip. In fact, there was no pregnancy, but the test was wrong. A false positive result occurs in some gynecological and systemic diseases.
Also, the cause of this condition can be a biochemical pregnancy that is interrupted before the delay. That is, fertilization of the egg took place, but it did not attach to the wall of the uterus.
Another option is an ectopic pregnancy. Attachment of the fertilized egg in an unintended place is manifested by the fact that a positive pregnancy test is accompanied by vaginal bleeding.
Positive test, but period came
Hello! I am 23 years old and have never been pregnant. The situation is as follows. In February, menstruation began on February 3, this month I thought it would start on March 1-2, but it didn’t happen. I took a pregnancy test - a weak second line, although my husband said that he didn’t see any second line at all. The next morning I did a second test - two stripes, the second one was weak again. And an hour later my period began. As always - moderately abundant with clots. In the evening I did a test - one bright stripe, no second stripe. For a month we protected ourselves with condoms, and had coitus interruptus a couple of times. Please tell me why the test showed two stripes? Is this a test error? When should I go to the doctor - after my period or now? And when to do an ultrasound?

Two stripes after menstruation
After menstruation, a test can be positive for two reasons:
- we are talking about bleeding that is not related to menstruation;
- A hormonal imbalance occurred, resulting in two ovulations.
If the study is carried out immediately after the end of bleeding, and the test shows two stripes, then the cause of this condition may be a hormonal imbalance. The test may mistake some other hormones for the hCG hormone if they are present in the urine in high concentrations.
In rare cases, a woman may experience two ovulations in one cycle. In this case, the egg will be released at different times. One follicle ovulates at the prescribed time, and the second only before menstruation. With unprotected sex, conception will occur, as a result of which the woman will receive a positive test a few days after the end of bleeding.
Many women mistake bleeding of a different origin for menstruation. For example, there is pregnancy, and bleeding is caused by erosion or injury to the cervix. Often this bleeding occurs after sexual intercourse. It turns out that conception has occurred, and the test will soon show a positive result, and the woman believes that she is now having her period.
The cause of short bleeding may be implantation of the embryo into the uterine cavity. If a woman tests at home just 3-5 days after menstruation, and the bleeding was short and not heavy, and the test shows 2 stripes, implantation has probably taken place. When the fertilized egg implants into the wall of the reproductive organ, minor damage to the blood vessels occurs. Discharge of blood for 1-3 days is considered normal, but many women mistake it for another menstruation. Patients tell the doctor that they had a positive test after their period.
Delay of menstruation
Most often, a pregnancy test is performed because menstruation has not started. If a woman is about to become a mother and her period is late, the test will certainly be positive.
Testing is performed on the first day of the delay in the morning, using the first portion of urine. It is not recommended to drink a lot of liquid the evening before testing, so as not to reduce the concentration of hCG. In the morning, the genitals are toileted, especially if the procedure is performed during menstruation. It is recommended to insert a tampon into the vagina so that blood does not get into the sterile container with urine.
Literally all expectant mothers dream of not just pregnancy, but of course, finding out about it as quickly as possible. They are concerned about the question of whether a pregnancy test a week before menstruation will indicate the coveted two stripes. There are cases when a pregnancy test before a missed period had two lines. Such cases are not frequent and occur mainly during a long menstrual cycle with early ovulation. The best option to find out the truth is to wait for the end of menstrual flow or repeat the test at the end of menstruation.
Is there any point in doing a test?
To answer the question whether it is possible to do a pregnancy test during menstruation in one case or another, you need to understand the operating principle of this mini-device. Despite the different price categories, different types and different methods of use, the mechanism of operation of all devices is the same. The main goal is to identify the pregnancy hormone – human chorionic gonadotropin. Most strip strips, inkjet and tablet devices have a hidden reagent on their surface.
Upon contact with the urine of the expectant mother, it appears, and the woman sees that the test showed 2 stripes. It should be noted that the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood is much higher than in the urine. Therefore, if there is a suspicion of pregnancy during menstruation, a blood test for hCG should be done. The reliability of this analysis is very high.
The question of whether the test will show pregnancy during menstruation can be answered in the affirmative. But only with a caveat: in fact, this is not menstruation, but bleeding of a completely different nature. If conception occurred 10-14 days ago or earlier, then a home study carried out in accordance with the instructions will show a true positive result. Bleeding will not affect it.
It is important to perform the diagnosis correctly. To prevent menstrual fluid from getting into the container with urine, you need to thoroughly wash yourself before collecting the material and insert a tampon into the vagina.
The causes of bleeding with a positive result can be harmless physiological (for example, embryo implantation) and pathological (risk of miscarriage).
A medical examination will help you reliably understand what is happening and take action if necessary.
Delay, test positive, brown discharge
I have this problem. The start date of the last menstruation is February 12 (the cycle is usually 28 days). 03/15 test positive (digital, showed 1-2 weekstkm). Today, spotting brown discharge appeared, pulling in the lower left abdomen. I went for an ultrasound: the uterus was 49x44x58. Endometrium 14mm. In the right ovary the VT is 18x18x19mm. Myomatous node 10x11x10 along the posterolateral wall, interstitial. There is no fertilized egg. Tell me, please, how can this be? Can there be an ectopic pregnancy? What to do?

Hello. In your case, you need to exclude an ectopic pregnancy, but this period is not yet visible on ultrasound. You should examine the blood hCG level (if more than 5 mIU ml) over time (after 2-3 days). An increase of 2 times will indicate a developing pregnancy. From 4 weeks you can see a heartbeat on an ultrasound. If the hCG level is less than 5, it means that cycle disruption and spotting may be associated with uterine fibroids. A pregnancy test may also be positive. Get examined, write the results.
Stanislav Alexandrovich, hello! The hCG results are as follows: March 16 - 122.7 mIU/ml, March 18 - 347.3 mIU/ml. Please help me figure it out. And, please tell me, after what time will the ultrasound be as informative as possible? Thank you in advance!
The fertilized egg is detected in the uterine cavity during vaginal ultrasound no earlier than 16-18 days from conception (3-4 obstetric weeks). If spotting from the genital tract persists, it is necessary to start taking progesterone medications. Your hCG shows evidence of progressing pregnancy. Today, ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out.
what they drink to stimulate ovulation Stimulating ovulation helps thousands of women become mothers every year. Let's look in a little more detail at who needs and can stimulate the maturation of eggs, and who is contraindicated, and what drugs are most often used
Stanislav Alexandrovich, thank you for your answer! 3rd pregnancy: 1st in 2001 - micro-abortion. 2nd (from the first time) in 2006 - urgent birth, everything is fine. 3rd also

Dangerous situations
Sometimes the fact that the test showed pregnancy, but at the same time you are menstruating, is a very ominous symptom.
Spontaneous abortion
The situation when bleeding begins after a positive test is quite common. For most expectant mothers, this occurs early, before 12 weeks. A pregnancy test during menstruation can be done in this case to make sure that it has not been missed. If a woman notices that the test strip is becoming paler, then a miscarriage has probably begun and nothing can be corrected. Additional symptoms of threatened termination are nagging pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Ectopic pregnancy
Is it possible to do a test during menstruation to detect an ectopic pregnancy? It is possible, but a diagnosis cannot be made using the test. Attachment of the fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity may be accompanied by bleeding, and the strip strip shows two lines. Additional signs of an ectopic pregnancy are acute abdominal pain, weakness, drop in blood pressure and lightheadedness.
In both cases, when bleeding begins after a positive test result, the woman needs medical attention. Otherwise, there will be a threat to her reproductive health and even life.
The question of whether it is possible to take a pregnancy test during menstruation can be answered positively with confidence. Bleeding does not affect the test result. If a positive test result is accompanied by bleeding or menstruation began a few days after receiving two strips, then you need to urgently contact a gynecologist.

They say that 70% of pregnancies end in the earliest stages. Moreover, women do not even know that they were pregnant. What is taken just a couple of days late may well be pregnancy. It’s just that the fertilized egg does not always implant into the uterus.
This happened to me, even an ultrasound showed a fertilized egg in the uterus, but after a couple of days my period started and there was nothing on a repeat ultrasound.
The doctor didn’t see anything and gave me a referral to the hospital, but I didn’t go to bed, I just did an ultrasound. We have such doctors there))) If it gets bad, then I’ll call an ambulance. I'd better go for another ultrasound in 3 days
hi.. I also encountered the same situation, I was 10 days late, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive, and after 2 days I got my period. I went to the gynecologist, she couldn’t tell me anything, but there were suspicions of an ectopic pregnancy, then I went for an ultrasound and they said that it was a hormonal imbalance and that’s why there was such a delay. so the tests are also wrong, you need to do them several times to be sure.
