Can You Have a False Positive on a Pregnancy Test?

I recently had two tests with very faint lines. Then three that said NO...So I went to the doctor, the next day, thinking maybe it was just very early on. My blood work came back negative, so I am startign to think either I got a bad test or something else happened.

You can have a false positive. I had a positive at home test,though it was a very faint line. In my case it was a blighted ovum,an empty egg sac. This is where a egg just stops growing. I was told it was natures way of taking care of eggs that may have been abnormal or something. Anyway,at my first Dr. office visit,he also thought I was pregnant. The next month he found out it had been a blighted ovum. My levels weren't high enough and he could tell my utereus wasn't the size it should be. So,I would go to the Dr. if you don't start soon. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Okay, did you pee on the stick at 7pm and it was bright pink and you were giddy with excitement, only to look at the same stick again at 7am and see it had faded to nothing? is this the case? if so yes you are pregnant. If not, please schedule a blood test with the doctor, you can spend hundreds of dollars on urine tests, or get an absolute answer from the doc with a blood test. Good Luck!

M.,
If I am not mistaken, you can half a false reading on a pregnancy test if the test is expired. Double check the packaging before purchasing to make sure that the test you take is not out of date. To be safe, I would take one more test and see what the outcome is. If you are still not positive or not comfortable with the outcome, then go to the doctor.

I took 2 test that were all negative but really was positive. I think the batch I bought from was not good. Go to the DR. for a real test!!!!

I had the same problem 6 months ago when a preg. test I did came back positive and I ended up NOT being pregnate. I freaked out on the post. test, I was not ready to have another child. I did a blood test through my doc and while i was waiting to get my results back I did a few more test which all came back neg. So if you have done anymore and they are all neg. more than likley you are not pregnate. Hope this helps!!
