There could be various reasons for a false positive test.
Chemical Pregnancy
A chemical pregnancy is basically an early miscarriage. Research has shown that half of all first pregnancies end in miscarriage. Due to the high sensitivity of home pregnancy tests, many women catch early pregnancies but end up going on to have their periods due to a chemical pregnancy.
Missed Reaction Time
For accuracy in home pregnancy tests it is essential that you read the test results in the stipulated reaction time. If you let the test sit for too long (after the instructions on the box tell you), the test is invalid. This may cause it to show false positive results.
Chemical Interference
Drugs that have the pregnancy hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in them can cause incorrect results in home pregnancy tests. The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in them may be responsible for the false positive pregnancy test. If you have had an HCG shot due to infertilty treatments, you need to be sure the shot is out of your system before you attempt to use early pregnancy tests.
Evaporation Lines
While technically not a true pregnancy, some pregnancy tests leave a faint evaporation line as the urine crosses the test. This faint very light grey evaporation line in the test area is often interpretted as a positive result.
AimStick pregnancy test strips have a very good reputation of NOT leaving evaporation lines and are much less expensive than brands you can buy in your local supermarket or drug store.
If you are not sure about your home pregnancy results it is recommended that you try again after a couple of days. If doubts regarding the results still persist, you must see a doctor for a pregnancy blood test. A blood test administered by your doctor is more sensitive than the early home tests and can be taken between seven and twelve days after you conceive.

If you eat anything containing Poppy Seeds for a couple of days before testing you will come up with a False-Positive. They warned us of this when I was having to be tested as a School Bus Driver. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. Pregnancy tests are looking for a specific hormone, and nothing more.
That said, were you using a home pregnancy test kit?
The accuracy of those is questionable. To find out if you are really pregnant, go to a doctor!
And if you are pregnant and using cocaine, STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Yeah, cause if you're using cocaine, you probably were partying, got knocked up and you are now testing positive.

You may be pregnant. Redo the test tomorrow morning and read the instructions carefully. Then while you are thinking carefully about what you are going to do, refrain from using drugs and alcohol.

Sounds like you need slapped for having unprotected sex while using drugs. Why don't you get your tubes tied before you produce unwanted mentally and physically handicapped children.
