It means that there is a trace amout of the pregnancy hormone in your urine and you are in fact pregnant. There are, in a few cases, what is called a chemical pregnancy where you will produce the hormone from a fertilized egg that never implants and doesn't actully lead to conception, but still reads as a positive due to trace hGc in your urine stream. It is still however a positive and you should make a call to your OBGYN.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I've been told that any MALE urine would come up positive in a pregnancy test. I don't know if this is true but it wouldn't surprise me if so. Other than that, i don't know of anything you can put in urine that would make the test come up positive.
I am assuming you are referring to a urine pregnancy test which tests for Beta hCG. There are also blood tests, which are more specific, for pregnancy. The urine beta hCG test may be positive for other reasons than pregnancy. Certain cancers of the testicles and the ovary are diseases that can provide a positive pregnancy test. Also, a lot of blood or protein in the urine can give a false positive on a pregnancy test. There are also some medications that have been reported to cause false positives such as some anti-convulsants and anti-parkinson medications. Overall, though, the urine pregnancy test is very accurate. Any female who tests positive on a urine pregnancy test should arrange for an appointment to see a physician for follow-up.
A serum hCG will be positive for pregnancy at 25mIU/ml, the urine test, although just as accurate needs a stronger concentration of 50mIU/ml to 100mIU/ml depending on the brand - this means the serum (blood) test will test positive 2 to 3 days sooner than urine.
Hello there. Yes you may very well be pregnant. A pregnancy test will only turn positive once HCG has been found in your urine. BUT there needs to be ENOUGH HCG in your urine to make a positive test result. Depending on the pregnancy test, they usually look for 5MIU - 50MIU. If you had 49MIU of HCG in your urine and did a test that looks for 50MIU it would be negative. The same thing applies to the Labatory urine pregnancy test. When they did the test you probably didn't have enough HCG in your urine to give you a positive. You need to have a blood test. Urine tests are NOT reliable and give negative results when women are indeed pregnant. See your doctor for a Quantitative Beta HCG pregnancy test. Good luck.
A positive pregnancy test result can be caused by the presence of the hormone hCG in the urine, which is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
Some women do not get a positive pregnancy test will late in their pregnancy , if even. A blood pregnancy test is the best way to go.
Mixing water with urine from a pregnant woman will not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test result. The presence of hCG hormone in the urine is what determines a positive pregnancy test result, not the addition of water.
Yes, it is possible to have a positive result on a urine pregnancy test and a negative result on a blood pregnancy test. This could be due to differences in the sensitivity of the tests or the timing of the tests relative to the hormone levels in the body. It is recommended to confirm with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Nothing. The pregnancy test uses your hormones inside your urine to predict pregnancy. If this hcg hormone is not present, the test will not show you a positive result. The only thing you would see would be the "control line".
It is best to use fresh urine for a pregnancy test for accurate results. However, if you need to store urine for a short period, it can be kept for up to 24 hours in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator. Make sure to bring the urine to room temperature before using it for a test.
Withing nine days from fertilization the body will start to produce hcg.
Use the urine of a pregnant person (not your own) - BUT - why would you want to do this.
