The chances that you're pregnant are slim, But if you think you might be go to your doctor and request the HCG urine test and a blood test to see if you're pregnant... My sister took an at home pregnancy test it said positive then she went to her doctor and the test all said negative... Good luck to you if you're pregnant and Congratulations...

People's taste buds change all the time. Just because you have food cravings and the flavor of certain thing changes, it doesn't mean that you're pregnant. Every day I crave for something different and it usually doesn't come to me until I start thinking about food.

If the doctor says it's negative, then it's negative. I believe that you're stressing out on getting pregnant, so your mind is playing games with you. I would trust the doctor more than an over-the-counter product. I was tested negative with a home pregnancy test back in January. I wanted to be pregnant so bad that I bought another brand and was tested positive. We didn't want to believe that I'm pregnant until the doctor says I'm pregnant.

Well, there cannot be a false positive. But, if a used pregnancy test sits for longer than 15 minutes, a line will show up even if you aren't pregnant. That's why it says to only look at it after 3 minutes or so. The cravings could be a mind thing, maybe you are excited so your body is going to act pregnant. It can happen, the mind is very powerful.

if the clear blue test was positive it because it reacted to the pg hormone hcg, which means that you are. And since you are so confused for taking all those other test (one wouldn't do?) that came back negative, maybe because it wasn't your first morning urine or who knows, get a Blood test, and that will tell you if you are or not. I'm pretty sure you are. Congrats (assuming you are desperate about the negative tests and not the positive one)

False Positive Pregnancy Test
If you've taken a home pregnancy test and get two lines (or a plus sign depending on the brand and type of test), you assume this means you are pregnant. After all, home pregnancy tests claim an accuracy rate of over 99%. However, if you've spent any time on any parenting or pregnancy website, you've likely seen someone claiming to have a positive test only to find out later it was a false positive. How can this both be true, a 99% accuracy rate and yet women claiming to have a false positive. There are several reasons why a woman may obtain a positive result on an a home pregnancy test when she is not actually pregnant.
1. Improper testing
Improper testing can lead to false positive results. When taking a home pregnancy test, it is very important to read the directions before testing. Your home pregnancy test instructions will specify when test results should be interpreted and when test results are no longer valid. Some tests will produce a faint positive test result if read after the instructed time. You should use a clock or a watch and record the time you perform the test and read results at the instructed time. Guessing how long it has been since performing the test can lead to false results. Three minutes can seem like twenty minutes and vice versa when you are anxiously waiting to find out if you are expecting.

Another problem that commonly occurs when it come to testing is going back to "double check" your results. Disappointed with a negative result at the 3 minute (or 5 minute interval depending on the test), a woman may go back to look again to see if maybe she didn't see that positive the first time. Some women will go as far as digging that test out of the trash "just to be sure". This is probably one of the biggest causes of false positive results. Home pregnancy tests should always be read at the instructed time for accurate results.

2. Evaporation lines
Some home pregnancy tests have been described by women as having an evaporation line. If you stare at and inspect a home pregnancy test closely, it is possible with some tests to see where the testing line is. When urine runs across the test strip it may briefly change color as part of the testing process thereby helping the woman locate the test are even further. In order for the test to be positive it should change color and have a colored line at the determined testing time. With some tests, you will be able to see what can best be described as a watermark, much the same as you see on a US dollar bill when turned to the light. If there is no color to it or you have to grossly manipulate it to the light in order to observe a line, it could be an evaporation line. Retesting in a few days or using a digital test is recommended.

3. Home pregnancy test interference
Certain medications such as phenothiazine can interfere with test results. Women receiving hCG therapy to treat a luteal phase defect or other fertility problem should consult their doctor as to accuracy of home pregnancy tests and when testing should be performed. Occasionally urine can be contaminated with blood or gross amounts of protein leading to inaccurate results.

4. Certain medical conditions can lead to false positive results.
If you receive a positive result from a home pregnancy test it is important to follow up with your doctor for medical care. Although it is not common, certain rare medical conditions can cause positive results on a home pregnancy test. Certain forms of cancer, such as choriocarcinoma (an extremely rare type of cancer usually found in the uterus) can cause an elevation in hCG levels as well as certain types of breast, ovarian or testicular cancer leading to a false positive result.

5. Defective pregnancy test
Expired tests or faulty home pregnancy tests can also lead to false positive results. Always check the expiration date before testing to assure accurate results. Keep in mind, even with the highest quality control, an occasional defective test may occur.

If you have tested positive and are unsure about the results of your home pregnancy test, consult your doctor.

If a test came back positive, then you are most likely pregnant. The best way to check though would be to get the blood test at your doctors office.

congrats if you are

If you're in doubt ask the medical clininc to take a blood test. You may not have that hormone in urine yet that detects pregnancy. But all the cravings can just be what you're body is craving.

The tests in the doctor's office are accurate. Most likely you are not pregnant.
