Am I Pregnant

Q: My HPT was positive but my period came. What does this mean?

A: Either you are still pregnant or you may have had a miscarriage or a chemical pregnancy. The best way to know for sure is to see your doctor and get a quantitative hCG blood test. If you had a miscarriage, you may still have some level of hCG in your blood. In that case, it will rapidly disappear from your blood, so you should get tested quickly!
