PLEASE HELP

please give me a hand here,my friends last period was on dec 18th and she was doing well, and then she went to the hospital jan 29th and supposedly miscarried, but she has done pregnancy test every single day they are all positive and she took a test yesterday a clear blue one that shows her how far along she is but she took it mid day and it said 2-3 (meaning shes 4-5) but how can that be when she supposedly miscarried after she would have gotten pregnant again while she was already pregnant? and today she started bleeding again? im completely confused. and we don't want to go sit in a hospital for them to assume shes miscarrying when i don't think shes miscarrying at all.. her mother also bled through her pregnancy with her. can i have some advice here please!

Hi!
Your friend needs to get a blood test and an ultrasound. (At least, that's what I would do if she was my patient/)   The blood test will tell what the hormone level is, ( a QUANTITATIVE hcg) and will tell you how to proceed.  She may be quite far along if her real period was in December, OR there are many other possibilities, but she should find out!
Good luck!
