anyone ever had a positive result?

Question

from a HPT and you really weren't pregnant?

I would think not because its detecting the hormone only present when pregnant, right? i think it'd give a false neg, when you really are pregnant if it fails to dectect the hormone because of various reasons...

do you agree??

i'm not on medication of any kind and had no cycle this month at all. just some light spotting. i got a positive result today & my sister said i should go to the ER just to be completely sure. i just dont see it giving a false positive if there are no other factors present to create that. do u understand what i'm trying to say? i hope so..lol

my cycle was due on 9-04, sore, swollen, tender breasts, im starting to get morning sickness (at night, lol), dull ache in lower back, tired ALL the time...i KNOW im pregnant.

Answer 1

No.......................

Could I have a false positive? Check out The Truth About False Positives for an in-depth look at false positives. Essentially, it is possible, but it's unlikely. If you get two lines, you're most likely pregnant. Exceptions: if you have been taking certain fertility meds with hCG, the test may be picking up the hCG from the meds and not an embryo. Also, some tests develop "positive" lines after the time limit. You should NOT read the test after the time limit (usually 10 minutes, but check the directions that came with the test.) Yes, this means you should throw the test away and NOT dig it out of the trash in three hours to see if a line magically appeared. And, if the "positive" line is gray or looks like a "dent" in the test, it is an evaporation line and not a true positive.

Lastly, if you have been pregnant recently, it's possible that the test is detecting residual hCG. However, if a pregnancy ends early on, it's unlikely that hCG will remain in your system very long, so most women have nothing to worry about here. (It's extremely common for women to conceive immediately following an early miscarriage; the body is "primed" for pregnancy, so to speak, and elevated progesterone left from the miscarriage gives the next embryo a great shot at a healthy implantation. So, most women really are detecting a new pregnancy.)

However, the more hCG you had in your system when the pregnancy ended, the longer it will take to dissipate. HPT's can even detect residual hCG for up to 6 weeks following a full-term birth. It's a possibility you should keep in mind if you get positive HPT results soon after a previous pregnancy ended.

Answer 2

There are normally only 2 reasons for a false + on home tests. #1. If the woman is on medication that contains HCG, or #2. Chemical pregnancy, in which the egg does not properly implant in the uterus and is flushed out with a period, but enough of the hormones will be in the body to produce a + result.

Answer 3

I had a false positive very recently. I went to the doc and the blood test came back negative. I felt all the symptoms and was also late. However pregnancy symptoms are very similar to pms. If you are wanting a child i hope that you are pregnant. But I got my hopes up and had them crushed so i would advise you to see the doc. Start taking prenatal vitamins just in case. GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

If it says positive, you should visit the doctor. Your hormone levels may be messed up & you may need medications. I`ve never heard of that, though.

Answer 5

i think of they have assessments now that coach as early as 3 days (undecided if that is HPTs). If a try coach unfavorable it may sometimes be incorrect. whether, if that is beneficial there is no mistaking being pregnant. checklist's your purely a hundred% answer.
