If you have a positive pregnancy test is it possible to still have the hcg hormone in your system from your last pregnancy if your baby is 5 months old?

In most cases, a positive pregnancy test 5 months after a birth represents a new pregnancy. There is a rare condition called gestational trophoblastic disease that rarely occurs after a normal pregnancy that can cause a persistent positive test. This condition is very rare. If you have a positive pregnancy test, you should go see your doctor to confirm the status of pregnancy. A positive pregnancy test 5 months after birth is not normal and represents a new pregnancy or a problem of some kind.

Is it possible to be 3 or 4 weeks pregnant and hcg levels still be too low for home pregnancy tests to read?
No- beta hCG is a required hormone for pregnancy; if the embryo does not produce it, your period will come as if there had been no conception. That is part of why pregnancy tests are so accurate, because the hormone has to be there, if it isn't, you cannot be pregnant.
Had a d and c now have a positive pregnancy test 2 months later am I pregnant?
It's possible but I would check with your Dr as soon as possible.
You had a baby just over 3 months ago - would the pregnancy hormone still be present in your body - If you have just had a positive test result?
The pregnancy hormone (hCG) would no longer be in the body. It leaves the body completely after giving birth. If you are getting a positive result on a test you are either pregnant or have a brain tumor. If you are sexually active it means 'Irish Twins"!
You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive you are also almost 2 months late on your period is this a phantom pregnancy?
If your pregnancy test is positive then most likely you are. You would be more likely to get a false negative rather than a false positive. If you are unsure, you can request a beta HCG test from your doctor. This will measure the HCG hormone in your blood system which is an indicator of pregnancy. The pregnancy test is positive and you haven't had a period in two months. I see nothing to indicate that this is a 'phantom' pregnancy other than maybe wishful thinking. I've been told that the home test kits may give a false negative, but that they never indicate a false positive.
If you just had a baby 2 months ago and you take a pregnancy test will that show the pregnancy hormone for the last pregnancy?
The hormone HCG decreases during your 3rd trimester and is fairly low by the time you give birth (This is part of what starts labor). By 2 months after birth, the hormone has completely left your system. So....a positive test at this time would indicate that you are pregnant again. There has been known to be false positives, so get a blood test to be sure. And if this is what you want, may I say congratulations!
What if your period was 3 weeks late for 2 months and then you had a positive pregnancy test?
A positive pregnancy test is an indication of pregnancy. See your health care provider.
If you had a positive pregnancy test but had your period for to months what is that?
Go to the doctor.
You have missed your period for 3 months you took a pregnancy test one said negative and one said positive you got a doctors appointment but a month away im needing input?
Pregnancy tests react with a hormone that is present only during pregnancy. If one of your tests was positive, that hormone could be present, which means you are pregnant. However, since one of your tests was negative, this could mean that the positive test was a "false positive." A "false positive" happens sometimes, but it is very rare. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant or not is to go have an ultrasound done at the doctor's office.
If you had unprotected sex with your boyfriend for 5 months and you missed your period can you be pregnant?
You might be, so I recommend doing a test. Short Answer: YesLonger Answer: Any time you have unprotected sex with a male you run the risk of becoming pregnant.Long Answer: Often a missed period is the first clue that you are pregnant but there are many reasons you can miss a period. Another common clue to a possible pregnancy is sore or tender breasts. If you think you may be pregnant, take an over-the-counter pregnancy test. Please be aware that a negative test result for pregnancy does not necessarily mean that you are not pregnant. For the test to show a positive result, the threshold for a specific pregnancy related hormone needs to have been exceeded. This hormone varies from person to person, pregnancy to pregnancy and the length of pregnancy to date among other things but is accurate when the hormone has exceeded the threshold of the test. If the test result is positive, make an appointment with your doctor to confirm pregnancy.
Are blood pregnancy test results reliable if done during your period?
Yes they are! There is a hormone in your blood called HCG, which is the pregnancy hormone. It has to be a certain level for the hormone to appear in the test results. It doen't matter wheither you are in the middle of your cycle or not! You can still get periods during your first few months of pregnancy. I did! Good luck to you.
Why does your pregnancy test come out negative at 7 months?
The pregnancy hormone which is used in the test reduces in the third trimester as other hormones take over.
Would having a baby 6 months ago affect pregnancy test results?
No, so congratulations! If you are getting a positive. The HCG hormone which is excreted in urine, is only in your body for usually 10 days after pregnancy, up to 6 weeks. So if you are getting a positive now you're definitely pregnant but I would see a doctor to confirm.
