positive pregnancy test then period began but next cycle pregnant

March 6 2011 my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive.   A couple of days later what I thought was my period started but it was light.  I did not think much about it and went on to next month.  I did not take any additional pregnancy tests.  

Well April 8 2011 my period appeared to be late again.  I have taken 3 tests and all were positive and my period has not started again so at this point know that I am pregnant.

Is it possible I have been pregnant since March?  I am 41 and this is my 4th pregnancy.  I have 2 children and miscarried 1 in between the 2 kids I have.

Some women spot while pregnant...I guess it could appear to be a light period.  Another possibility is that you had a very early miscarriage and then conceived after that.

You should see your OB. He or she can perform an ultrasound and determine how far along you are :)

I agree with Christine.  I spotted and bled throughout my pregnancy. Many women do and it can be mistaken for a period.  I am not so convinced it was a chemical pregnancy (a very early miscarriage) as typically it is much heavier and often longer then a regular period.  However, anything is certainly possible.  As she said, an ultrasound will tell you for certain.  Either way, congrats on your pregnancy and wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months!
