Having a period but I have a positive pregnancy test
Background: I have pcos and im 30. I've been trying to conceive for 8 years. I had a spontaneous pregnancy earlier this year, which ended in a miscarriage at 8 weeks in early March. 2-3 weeks later, I was testing negative, so I'm sure all hcg from that has passed.
Since then, I got back my period on April 19, and I had what seems to be a positive opk on May 4/cd 16. Yesterday, i had light spotting, which prompted me to test early as i was hoping its implantation bleeding. This morning, cd 27, I got a vvfl on 3 different tests but then started bleeding bright red throughout the day plus having period cramps.
In my previous pregnancy— which was short-lived—my cramps were more vaginal and a pulling effect, same for a miscarriage I had in 2024. The cramps I'm having now are very period-like, and the amount of blood is giving period or start of period.
I'm wondering if there is hope or if this is possibly a chemical pregnancy. My period was actually supposed to start on Sunday, May 17.
