I feel like my period is coming on, i have cramps and im supposed to get it tomorrow.....i took my second positive test this morning. I dont wanna get excited. Are false positives normal?

If you have had 2 positive tests at home, you are most likely pregnant. Just go, they weren't wrong.

Honey, calm down... i think you might be pregnant. The best thing to do would be to go to the DR (even though you are scared) to get a blood test. If you dont want to see your Dr you can go to a health dept for the test. The worst case would be that you are pregnant and miscarry and then you would need to see a dr anyway for your own safety. False positives can happen but usually only VERY rarley. They can be more common if you are on fertility drugs. A girlfriend of mine had cramps and a slight period her first month and everything was fine. Remember every preganct is different. Just take a deep breath and try to be a little happy. Please post an update when you get more info! Good Luck!

You are definately pregnant as you can get false negatives but not false positives. A pregnancy test only reacts to the pregnancy hormone, so you must have it in your urine. With the cramps???? I always experienced excrutiating period pain when they were due when i was pregnant - it's very normal to get this pain. If however you start bleeding or spotting it will not be your period it may be a miscarriage & you need to see a doctor. Also there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy with pain, so if your pain gets unbearable you need to get to hospital asap. Probably though you are pregnant & having normal cramps associated with early pregnancy. Hope it all works out ok for you.

Dear, when a urine test is positive there is no doubt that you are indeed pregnant. It is possible to get a false negative but not a false positive. That is because the test reacts to the presense of HCG in your urine...if it is there you get a positive result. That is the only thing that will cause the test to react that way. Believe me, you ARE pregnant.
Congratulations and I am glad that you are happy with your wonderful news.
BTW, that feeling that you will start your period any moment is very common in early pregnancy, as are the cramps. One of the comments I hear most often is "I feel like I am going to start my period any second!". That is common because the symptoms of early pregnancy and PMS are so similar. The tender breasts, the feeling of being bloated, sometimes even the fatigue, remind many women of their period approaching.
In your case there is no doubt. Go see your doctor and start taking your Prenatal vitamins! Make sure you are getting pleny of Folic Acid, you really need that even before you know you are pregnant. Ideally, any women who could become pregnant should be taking a vitamin supplement with Folic Acid in it.
You and your baby need and deserve good prenatal care, so go see the doctor. BTW, don't be surprised if she wants to confirm the pregnancy with a blood test, they are so accurate that some doctors just like to have them done as more confirmation.
One other thing, it will be harder this time because of your other little one, to get all the rest and proper care that you need during this pregnancy. Remember that putting yourself first right now means putting your baby first. Every baby deserves that. If you are lucky enough to be able to stay home with your child then make the most of it. If your little one still naps be sure that you nap when he/she does. Adequate rest is essential and hard to get when you are a mother. Resist the urge to use his or her naptime as time to catch up on chores. You can also make resting with your other child a fun time, books and soft toys are wonderful things to curl up with. Lie down and put your legs up, letting your "other baby" play with some things that you have put on the bed. You will have to make time for yourself, otherwise it will not be there!
Remember to eat well too, it is easy as a busy mother to neglect this important requirement. When you feed one baby be sure that you feed the other one too!
Many blessings to you and your baby!

Normally when a home test says your pregnant you are. It's when they say negative, and you feel pregnant you have to worry.Just go to the doctor to be sure.
