Is a urine test to know if you are pregnant 100% accurate?

Question

I went to the doctor last oct 26 to get a pregnancy test, they made me the urine test and they said is positive, is this 100 % trustable?

Answer 1

Sweetie, you're pregnant. http://www.peeonastick.com
Nothing is 100% but trust that you're pregnant. Good luck.

First I'd like to say that an uti never causes a false positive. It's impossible because having an uti doesn't make the body produce hCG. That's common sense. The urine pregnancy tests at the dr's offices aren't as sensitive as the otc tests, so I'd say that you're definitely pregnant. The only time your body produces the hormone that a pregnancy tests detects is during pregnancy and if you're on meds that contain the hCG hormone, in which you'd already know about. Commonly associated with fertility treatments. Other than that, there's really no possible way that you'd get a positive. If your dr confirmed pregnancy, rest in that information. You could get an OTC test if you'd like, but I'd bet a dollar to a bucket of s--t that it's positive also. I wouldn't reccomend you wasting your time or money. You're pregnant. Accept that as fact dear. Start the celebration and let me be one of the firsts to say ...congrats!

Answer 2

last oct? what happened to the baby? Yes theyre positive. In some cases though if you dont get regular care, or have blood work done you can miss being diagnosed with a chemical pregnancy, which technically is an early miscarriage where your body hasnt yet stopped producing HCG

A UTI cannot cause a false positive, thats the most untrue statement i have ever read. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy, initiated by a growing fetus in the reproductive system... not an infection in the bladder.

Answer 3

Most likely yes a urinary test picks up the HCG hormone the body produces when a women is pregnant normally a urine test will read positive at around 2-4 weeks positive however you can also have blood work done this will also give you a round about gestational age of the fetus as well.

Answer 4

It's true sweetie. You are pregnant. Congratulations. If you don't trust that test, take a blood test which is 100% accurate. But most likely since your urine has been detected with the Hcg in it, it most definitely would mean you are pregnant. Again, Congratulations!!!

Answer 5

No:

1) Some women never show positive on a urine test because they do not expel enough hCG into their urine

2) Sometimes a urinary tract infection can cause a false positive. (And some UTIs have no symptoms)

However a lot of doctors are now only doing the urine tests because it is faster and generally 99% or more effective. If, however, you are concerned go back and demand a blood test. (Of course it will become obvious in a couple of months whether you are pregnant or not)

Answer 6

Given that error can be found in everything, there is a high probability of success in the urine test when given by a doctor so congratulations! Thanks God sweetie since many ppl on this board are also trying without success. For more info on this test, visit www.newbabyjubilee.com and click on 1st trimester - 1st month.

Answer 7

A urine test administered by a doctor or reputable laboratory is at least 99.9% accurate.

Answer 8

No, but they are about 99.9% accurate when used correctly. Especially in a controlled environment like the doctor's office, so there is less chance for mistakes. Congrats!

Answer 9

They are very acurate it is based on Hcg in your urine wich you only make when you are pregnant (some medicatins do but your doctor would have clarified that)

Answer 10

about 98 %
