Has your Pregnancy test ever been wrong?

Question

1 negative & 2 positive tests...........got my period 3 days later.

talk about a letdown.

ugh. :-(

I wasn't asking about going to the Doctor. [nooo the doctors reeeeally ya think?] idiot. I was asking if anybody had a wrong pregnancy test, pay attention to the questions.

Answer 1

never. I took one three months ago and it said positive. I didn't believe it so i had to retake twice more and it was positive for sure. Can't wait to have the baby. have been trying for over a year to get pregnant

Answer 2

Never..............

I took several tests and got both negatives and positives. What gives? See FAQ 9 above; there are many variables-- concentration of urine, sensitivity of the test. Since true false positives are pretty rare, if you get at least one positive HPT, you are probably pregnant. Wait a couple of days and test again or try another brand if you are suspect. If you suspect you have a true false positive (meaning you did not conceive and still got a positive

Hey, I got a positive test but my period started anyway! Huh? Since some HPT's are so sensitive, they can detect a pregnancy in its very early stages. Unfortunately, it's estimated that up to 50% of pregnancies are lost very early on. In the past, most women did not even realize they were pregnant-- their periods would arrive on time, or perhaps a day or two late. Now, women testing very early may get a positive test, but experience bleeding almost immediately afterwards. This is an early miscarriage, also referred to as a "chemical pregnancy." It is likely that you did conceive and the embryo implanted for a short time before dying. This miscarriage is "disguised" as a period because the bleeding happens right around the time you would expect your period. Because this is so common, you probably have nothing to worry about, medically speaking, if it happens to you once or twice (although it is still heartbreaking when it happens!) If, however, this happens to you more than a couple times, or in consecutive pregnancies, you should discuss it with your doctor, as this can signal a problem (which can oftentimes be corrected with minimal treatment.)

That said, it is also possible to experience some spotting or bleeding and still have a healthy pregnancy, so don't panic! It may be implantation bleeding (from your baby snuggling in your uterus for a nice long stay!) If you experience bleeding after a positive pregnancy test, you should call your doctor.

Answer 3

Go to the doctor and they will give you a blood test which will check you HCG levels, and they'll tell you for sure if your pregnant or not.
