Can I Still Be Pregnant After Severe Menstrual Cramps?
My last period i had very bad stomach cramps, and this month i did not get my period and did a pregnancy test and its positive. I am afraid i might of miscarried last month and if i did is it possible that i did not get my period this month and the prgnancy test can show im pregnant even though im not? Thank you.

Hi,
Get a blood test for HCG levels and repeat it after 48 hours. There should be an increase in count and if more than 1000 IU you can also get an ultrasound to see for the location of pregnancy.
Had you taken a pregnancy test before your last period?Was it positive?
Menstrual cramps do not indicate anything. It could be that you conceived after your painful period and are pregnant now.
Hope this helps.
