Chemical Pregnancy: Why You Test Positive Then Bleed

A chemical pregnancy happens when an early embryo stops developing shortly after implantation. You may see a positive test result and then experience bleeding like a light period. Causes include chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, infection or uterine issues. Common symptoms are light bleeding, mild cramps and a drop in pregnancy hormone levels. If you suspect a chemical pregnancy, repeat your test after a few days and consult a healthcare provider. They can confirm the cause and offer advice on managing future pregnancies.
