I recently had a miscarriage and had blood levels done to confirm the HcG drop, followed by multiple negative pregnancy tests. However, I just took a pregnancy and ovulation test and got a strong positive result. What could be the explanation for this?

What are the chances of getting pregnant while having sex on my period, especially if I am not using any contraceptives and rely on the pull-out method? I am currently on my period, which started about 3 days ago, and I had sex on the 2nd day of my period and again yesterday, both times without withdrawal. My period typically lasts around 5 days.

I have been bleeding for 10 days straight, not just spotting. It has gotten a little dark. I'm 34 years old, my last menstrual period was February 1-5, and it's a little heavy. I had one blood clot yesterday. My previous periods were always regular, and I'm experiencing cramping. I'm already on my 4th pad today. I'm taking bupropion hcl sr 150mg to stop smoking and iron pills. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My RPR titer is 1:1 and my RPR test came back as reactive, but my FTA-ABS test came back as non-reactive. I was told I might have syphilis, but I'm confused because my understanding is that the FTA-ABS test would definitely indicate if I have syphilis or not. What does this mean, and should I still be concerned about having syphilis?

I have taken several home pregnancy tests that gave negative results. A day ago, I had a pregnancy blood test done and was told it was negative. My last period started on September 9th. I do not want to be pregnant at this time. I had some pink/clear spot-like fluid around October 8th-9th, and my breasts have been swollen/sore these last few days. How absolute is a blood test, and what could be going on for me?
