Could a doctors positive pregnancy test be wrong?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible... If there were periods after the test, it proves there is no pregnancy. Also, if the test is based on chemicals (like it usually is) there are chances of it being wrong. If the test is a scan of the abdomen and the doc found a fetus - Its confirmed.

Answer 2

Of course. But its very unlikely. No matter the brand or the price of a home pregnancy test, they are ALMOST 100% foolproof--even the kind from the dollar store. If you're unsure of your result, take a second test. If you still have questions, make an appointment with your doctor.

Answer 3

All tests have a risk of false positive and false negative results. The likelihood of false positive/negative results depends on the type of test done. In the case of a pregnancy test, the rate of false positive results is very low. If you're wondering about another type of test, write again.

Answer 4

If you mean an 'over-the-counter' test, then check the labelling - I think they will claim that they are not 100% accurate - either with positive or negative results.

If you mean a test conducted at a medical facility, then you would need to check with the facility involved, as they will know the accuracy of the particular test performed.

Answer 5

Yes, false negatives are possible from anyone. If you want a second opinion, try an at-home test or see your doctor and ask for a lab test from him.

Answer 6

Of course, it IS possible... but is it likely? If you are really unsure maybe you could be sure about this.

Answer 7

yes
