Can a pregnancy test show positive even if you're not pregnant?

Answer 1

This is pretty rare.. a positive test indicates that HCG was found in your urine. .here are reasons for HCG to be in your urine... 1) Pregnancy 2) you've recently taken a shot of HCG for infertility treatments 3) you have a tumor that is producing HCG 4) heterophilic antibodies http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=6437207 5) 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. 6) You read the pregnancy test after the time the instructions alloted..on some tests a line that looks positive will show up later, but it's not a true positive. most of the time the answer is Pregnancy ~pawsalmighty

Answer 2

Yup.

AnswerIt isn't likely. False negatives are common. False positives are very uncommon.

They can. I have had some false positives with Clear Blue (not the digital type). False positives are not likely but they can happen if you have had a chemical pregnancy (early miss carriage) or if you have HCG (the pregnancy hormone) occurring in your body.

Answer 3

sure not all women get pregnancy symptoms but if you are early like 4 weeks then you have to wait until 6 weeks pregnant that's when it start to kick in but you might not get it at all just don't worried about.. only worried if you are bleeding and cramping and having blood clot those are the most concerns.. but you are lucky to not get the symptoms... best of luck

AnswerSymptoms do not usually show up till about your sixth week of pregnancy.. enjoy feeling good. :) AnswerYes, if you have missed a period.

Some women have no symptoms.

AnswerYes this is possible. Some women don't have pregnancy symptoms until the pregnancy has been confirmed. Because you had a positive test then this means you're most likely pregnant. See your doctor for confirmation.

Answer 4

It is possible to take a pregnancy test and have it not show up as positive even though you are pregnant. If you have take the test too soon it will show up as negative. They have a new test out that detects the pregnancy 5 days before your missed period. Even that could appear negative if takent too soon if you know when your next period might be try to schedule it around then, even if that one appears negative there is two tests in the box and you can take another on after a few more days. Though pregnancy tests are usually accurate they do not make up for a doctors examination. You may have taken an pregnancy test and have had it be negative and a few weeks down the road you are for sure pregnant, this could be due to hormone levels being off when the test was taken. So if you have taken the test and it was negative and you feel you might be pregnant just watch for the common signs nobody knows your body better than you do.

Answer 5

You may try the pregnancy test again, to ease your mind and just to be sure. But if you got a plus sign on your pregnancy test, chances are that you are pregnant.
Not usually, you have to have the hormone in your system for a positive to show up. There are more false negatives than false positives.
