False Pregnancy Test

No, fenugreek doesn't cross react with the assay for HCG.

This is pretty rare.. a positive test indicates that HCG was found in your urine. .here are reasons for HCG to be in your urine... 1) Pregnancy 2) you've recently taken a shot of HCG for infertility treatments 3) you have a tumor that is producing HCG 4) heterophilic antibodies http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=6437207 5) Chemical Pregnancy A chemical pregnancy is basically an early miscarriage. Research has shown that half of all first pregnancies end in miscarriage. Due to the high sensitivity of home pregnancy tests, many women catch early pregnancies but end up going on to have their periods due to a chemical pregnancy. 6) You read the pregnancy test after the time the instructions alloted..on some tests a line that looks positive will show up later, but it's not a true positive. most of the time the answer is Pregnancy ~pawsalmighty

Based on your information in the answer area. Seek qualified medical advice as soon as you can

Unfortunately there is no clear or accurate way to tell which person (yourself or your friend) is pregnant.

A pregnancy test may only be used once. You and your friend need to purchase 2 separate pregnancy tests and use one each. Read the instructions prior to this, and you will find out if you're pregnant.

If the test turns positive, then you must make a appointment with your doctor to confirm the pregnancy.

any pregnancy test that shows up positive whether you have had a negetive or not means you are indeed pregnant, once you have a positive that's all there is to it.

Hi, It is possible yes.

Tampons do not alter the accuracy of a pregnancy test. The test detects a chemical in urine that isn't changed by tampon use.

No. Fertility tests are made to detect FSH not hCG. You will need to buy an actual home pregnancy test or see your Dr.

you could get a positive pregnancy test on Thursday, however, it is not a pregnancy resulting from the unsafe sex on Monday. ~pawsalmighty

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.

well there are other reasons why yu might not get ur period other than pregnancy. as woman our bodies change all the time. ur period can just be late or iregular. if yu don't get ur period every month yu can take birth control to regulate it. if not ur period can also be late becuz of stress or even the weather. yu might want to talk to a doctor about it to be safe.

The 2 blood tests are compared to see if the levels are rising. If your levels are rising you are pregnant.

If you are concerned, an ultrasound test will confirm the emptiness of the uterus. == Yes, it is possible to have tissue left in your uterus after a miscarriage, this is called retained placenta. You really need to have a doctor confirm this, as a retained placenta could cause death, through hemorraghing or infection.

This is something you should discuss with your doctor.

No. But you can go to the doctor and get a blood test done. They are more accurate than the home tests. Good luck:) You COULD be pregnant if you are late but it is unlikely. Wait a couple days and if you are more than a month late go to your doctor for a blood test. If you are not pregnant you can find out if anything else is wrong. Hi, Not all missed periods are pregnancy related, but it is possible yes. You need to see your doctor for a blood test.

It is possible. It is better to try another one and be more certain.

A pregnancy can be ensured by doing a urine test.

I am currently researching on this too. I am also taking Cymbalta and am at least a week late for my period - the pregnancy test were all negative. I am usually always on time.

Ummm I can't see how it would honestly if it had hcg in it yeah maybe but I highly highly doubt a slimming pill would!!

Pregnancy tests work by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine. Anything that serves to dilute the urine will reduce the concentration of HCG, and could potentially cause a false positive.

That said, the tests are pretty sensitive; as long as you follow the instructions, it should work.

There is only one thing to do if you have one positive and one negative pregnant test. You should go to the doctor and get the pregnancy confirmed.

Here is some info about the blood test. There is TWO pregnancy blood tests; both have similar names. 1) The Qualiative pregnancy hcg blood test is very similar to a urine pregnancy test. This blood tests works by giving a yes or no answer, instead of measuring the amount of HCG in your blood. For example if you have 50u of HCG in your blood & it will only recognize a positive result at 52U then you will get a negative result. This is ridiculous & especially awful when diagnosing early pregnancy. Especially when you bear in mind that 5U = pregnant. 2) The Quantitative beta hcg blod test is HIGHLY accurate. This test works by measuring the exact amount of HCG in your blood. You need to always write down the name of this blood test & ask your Doctor specifically for it. Always make sure your Doctor has order this blood test & NOT the qualiative.

yes if you can still follow the instructions. Your interpretation of the result however could be impaired due to the intoxication
