There are a few factors that can result in a false positive. Most of the time though false positives are rare! I recently experienced this. I have 4 children and have never had a false positive! My test never showed up unless I was pregnant. I recently had 5 tests show a faint positive and went to the doctor for blood test which was negative. I was told that a cyst on your ovaries can sometimes make a test appear positive (false positive). Other factors include chemical pregnancy. This is one where everything develops as though you are pregnant, except for the baby. If you are on any medication that contains the pregnancy hormone (HCG), this also can make your test turn up positive. It is best to have a blood test done by the doctor to totally insure you are not pregnant.

A false positive pregnancy test is extremely rare, so I would say no, if the tests read positive you are most likely pregnant.
Can asparagus make a false positive pregnancy test?
No, eating asparagus should not affect a pregnancy test. However, if you don't read the test in the correct time frame (ie, you wait too long), you can get a false positive. Also, sometimes a false positive happens for no apparent reason - this is inherent in a home pregnancy test although most manufacturers work to reduce the possibility of this as much as possible.

Yes, home pregnancy tests can produce both false positives and false negatives. If a home pregnancy test is positive, you should see a gynecologist to have the pregnancy confirmed as soon as you can.

Not necessarily. The hormones that make a pregnancy test read positive stay in your body for a little while after a miscarriage.
Positive pregnancy test after 10 minutes stated?
Consider this result null and void and redo the test the next morning. THere's a reason why all pregnancy tests state NOT to read results after 10 minutes, it can create a false positive where it reads positive but you're not pregnant. GOod luck
If you have a positive pregnancy test are you actually pregnant?
Most likely yes, you are pregnant or were. I don't think a pregnancy test can read positive without HCG present and HCG is produced by pregnancy. If it is a digital pregnancy test and reads positive you are definitely pregnant. Do be aware of evaporation lines that are gray or colorless. Make sure this positive line is colored. If the positive lines are not all colored you could be seeing the evaporation line which could be misread as a positive.
What do you do if pregnancy tests give different results?
Usually different results from pregnancy tests come from using the test too early. Taking the test too soon will cause a test to read a false negative. Some HPT are more sensitive than others, they will read positive sooner than a less sensitive test. False negative results are very common from using the test too early, false positive is almost unheard of unless the test kit was damaged somehow. Always check the kit before using it, including the expiration date and follow directions.
If you get a negative does that mean you are not pregnant?
negative= not pregnant positive= pregnant be sure to read the instructions on the pregnancy test package
What does blue mean on a pregnancy test?
It depends on what that pregnancy test uses to indicate pregnancy. Read the directions carefully to see what they use to indicate a positive or negative pregnancy test.
