What Causes Light Periods And Positive HPT?

For the past three months my period have been lighter than normal and I m getting positive pregnant test results followed by the bleeding and then negative results and this has happened every month for the past 3 months I don t know what to do can I really have that many chemical pregnancies in a row or could it be a cryptic pregnancy ?

Hi,

Home pregnancy test is reliably positive after 8 days delay. If you have delayed periods each month and have positive pregnancy test at desired time (8 days late in periods). There are two possibilities:
1) You have a false positive test (maybe due to contaminated container or contaminated urine sample)
2) There is possible chemical pregnancy
3) You have a menstrual irregularity which needs to be investigated and treated, before expecting a pregnancy
Please consult gynecologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
