False Pregnancy Test

With a phantom, or psychological, pregnancy, you will NOT get a positive result. HCG in your system is caused by a growing embryo and if it is postitive, you do have a baby in there. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant, when you are not. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant. It is all in your head. It may cause your period to delay, your breasts to become sore, "morning sickness" to occur but it will not cause your body to release HCG.

Pregnancy tests that detect HCG in the urine are not effected by age. HCG will be present in the urine during pregnancy at all ages. When in doubt, take another test or have a blood test done by a doctor (or public clinic). Missed or irregular periods are a part of menopause, which typically occurs at around age 50. Nurse Z

You cannot predict pregnancy with litmus paper. litmus paper detect pH not HCG

There are several reason that a woman will show a false negative on a pregnancy test. The most common are trying to test too early and using diluted urine. It is important to follow all directions on the package, wait 14 to 16 days before testing, and to use the first urine of the day. Different brands and styles of home pregnancy tests also register different amounts of hormones so be aware of what type you are buying.

Most likely not, usually if you have enough HCG to bring on morning sickness, then it would show up on a pregnancy test. ~pawsalmighty

No, a fertility test tells you if you are capable of conception or when your best time to conceive is. A pregnancy test tells if the pregnancy hormone is present in your urine.

yes it affect bu afulse positive result

it could saturate it, so the reading is unclear. I would do the test again to be sure.

Go to the doctor and ask them to do a test because it's more reliable

If you started to bleed soon after, then there is a possibility that you could of had a miscarriage. Pregnancy tests are not always acurrate though and that could of been the problem. If it was a miscarriage then I would go and see the docter, because you should get cleaned out nad the docter will tell you if you really were pregnant or not.

Urine pregnancy tests normally detect >25. A result below that could indicate very early pregnancy, or the tail end of a miscarriage.

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]

PAPPA (Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A) is one of several screening blood tests primarily used to assess the developing baby's risk for Down's syndrome. The test is commonly done between 8 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. PAPPA is a protein that is generally present at lower than normal levels in babies with Down's syndrome (trisomy 21), intrauterine growth restriction, and who are at increased risk for premature delivery.

Yes. It is extremely rare though.

Depends on how soon you took the test. If you took it before missing your first period, yes it could be positive later. IF not, most likely you aren't pregnant.

Ensure is a supplemental nutritional drink often given to underweight persons. It can cause false high blood sugar readings because Ensure has a lot of sugars. But, no, it would not affect a pregnancy test.

hay u guys, ive been experiencing some stange and vivid dreams just recently and last night i dreamt that a pregnancy test came up positive on me...whats you verdict?

I am almost positive that it doesn't show hcg in a falsified pregnancy result.

This is impossible to answer as there are many reasons a woman can miss her period. It could be related to diet, activity level, hormonal imbalance, stress, or any number of other things. You need to see your gynecologist.

You most likely had a miscarriage. Pregnancy tests often give false negatives, but never give a false positive. If it says you are NOT pregnant, there is still a chance you could be, but if it says you ARE pregnant, then you are without a doubt. However, a large percentage of pregnancies are miscarried in the first six weeks, and the resulting evidence is often so light that it is mistaken for a normal period.

But this is a question you should have asked your doctor. Get an expert opinion.

If you are getting other pregnancy symptoms, yes, take another test.

it is advised that you wait until 4 weeks after the first day of your last period. if it is possible you concieved soon after this a test when your next period is due could tell you if you are pregnant or not. a midwife.

Urine is a sterile solution, meaning there are no germs present under normal circumstances, Pregnancy tests measure the amount of HCG there is present in your urine, which is not affected by germs. There are two definitions of sterile...sterile meaning unable to conceive and sterile meaning without bacteria and viruses...urine is the second kind of sterile.
