No! these are 2 separate issues and can occur independently of each other. The tests are different. However, having a STD during pregnancy can result in complications to the baby.
Often the doctor will do that just as a matter of course, but when you go in tell them that you want that to be sure.

You are two weeks late on your period but you have had 3 pregnancy tests that came back negative does that mean you are pregnant?

If you took a pregnancy test and it said positive but you still have you period and cramps what does that mean?

Well, since there's really no false positive tests, if your cramping and bleeding either like a normal cycle or moreso then it might be that your body is trying to reject the pregnancy and you may be miscarrying (it's what happened in my first pregnancy as well as with my SIL's ectopic pregnancy). I would see a doctor right away just to be safe.


I didnt get my period last month and i took 2 pregnancy test and both came out positive What are the chances that im not pregnant?

I'm not a doctor, but I sincerely have to say "not good". The fact that both pregnancy tests say positive, as long as you did them right, then your mathematical chances are all but 100%.


The Difference Between a Qualitative and Quantitative Pregnancy Test?

A pregnancy test can be performed early in pregnancy to predict conception or gestational age. Urine-based pregnancy tests detect pregnancy hormones in urine for a positive or negative result. Blood tests measure how much of a pregnancy hormone is present.Qualitative Pregnancy Test – UrineHome pregnancy test kits and urine pregnancy tests given by a physician are qualitative. Qualitative refers to the method of diagnosing pregnancy. Urine tests measure the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. If hCG is present, the test results are positive. If no hCG is found in urine, the test will be negative.False negatives are more common with a urine pregnancy test than false positives. False negatives can be caused by frequent urination due to high fluid intake and miscalculated start day of current menstrual cycle. False positives are typically linked to fertility treatments and prescription medications that include hCG as a means of increasing chance of conception.Quantitative Pregnancy Test – BloodA blood pregnancy test can be ordered as early as five to 10 days after unprotected intercourse. Blood pregnancy tests measure hCG levels in quantity rather than just a true or false result. Quantities can then be compared to normal levels as a means of gestational age prediction. In some cases, quantitative pregnant test results are higher than normal. Normal hCG levels at five weeks gestation fall between 18 and 7,340 mlU / ml. Measurements at the higher end of the range could mean medical issues with the pregnancy or multiple fetuses. Blood hCG levels will continue to rise until peaking between nine and 12 weeks gestation. After the 12th week, levels gradually fall until birth.Medical Treatment and Pregnancy TestDue to the possibility of false negative pregnancy test results, women who believe they may be pregnant should exercise caution when taking prescription and over the counter medications deemed unsafe during pregnancy. Diagnostic testing, such as X-rays and radiation-based testing should only be performed when medically necessary. Precautions include lead aprons placed over the abdominal area during X-rays. Prescription medications fall into pregnancy categories based on clinical testing and results. Categories include A, B, C, D and X.Category A drugs have been thoroughly tested for use during pregnancy and deemed safe. Category B is designated after animal testing revealed no signs of fetal harm. Category C may be linked to fetal damage in animal testing. Category D includes drugs proven to cause harm to a human fetus, but benefits from medications in this category could outweigh risks. Category X is reserved for medications that should never be used during pregnancy.

What are pregnancy tests?

Pregnancy tests are devices that measure the chemicals in your body. During pregnancy there is a presense of or increase in some natural chemicals, which are used to determine if you are pregnant. The pregnancy test will measure the balance of these chemicals and gives you a reading. These tests however, can have altered results based upon when you take it. I believe the best time to take a pregnancy test is 4-6 weeks after fertilization[the point when the spem meets the egg]
