False Pregnancy Test

acid

Pain medication will not cause a pregnancy test to be falsely negative, using the test too soon can cause a false negative. Wait 3 or 4 days, if your period doesn't come take the test again, make sure you are following all directions precisely.

Because catalase is found in red blood cells.

Some pregnancy test kits claim to be 99.9% correct, so try 2 or 3 more to see if you get the same results. If you are then you probably are pregnant and it's time to see a doctor to confirm this. On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy. To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

yes it is. you need to make your doctor aware of this because ther could be some far more serious than pregnancy to worry about. sure it could be possible i have not seen my period 4 3 months nad im not pregnant.

no, it will not give false results ~pawsalmighty but if you are having a period it is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant. "englishangel"

If there was an actual embryo, it was not a false pregnancy.

It may be too early for you to detect the HCG hormone. It all depends on how late your period is... it is quite common for younger women to miss a period one month and the next be right on schedule.. there are a lot of factors.. Ie... Stress, Age, Diet... sometimes if you think you are pregnant your body "thinks" it is as well and will "act" the part.. try to relax and wait and see.. Good Luck

It is possible. You might not be producing enough HCG levels might not be high enough to show up on a home pregnancy test. HTH. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/home_pregnancy_test/article_em.htm

If you really belive that you are pregnant then I would go to your doctor or local clinic and get a blood test done. This should pick up any pregnancy.

Yes. Antihistamines can cause a negative result

I am sorry but it could have been an early miscarriage. I also had one, and found out in nearly 50% of early pregnancies they end in miscarriage, and many times before the women even knows she is pregnant.

Taken from wikipedia. "History A physician administers a urine test in The Doctor's Visit by Jan Steen. [3] [4] [5]The ancient Egyptians watered bags of wheat and barley with the urine of a possibly pregnant woman. Germination indicated pregnancy, and based on what type of grain sprouted they predicted the gender of the fetus. Hippocrates suggested that a woman who had missed her period should drink a solution of honey in water at bedtime. Resulting abdominal distention and cramps would indicate the presence of a pregnancy. Avicenna and many physicians after him in the Middle Ages performed uroscopy, a nonscientific method to evaluate urine. Selmar Aschheim and Bernhard Zondek introduced testing based on the presence of hCG in 1928. In their test an infantile female mouse was injected subcutaneously with urine of the person to be tested, and some time later the mouse was sacrificed. Presence of ovulation indicated that the urine contained hCG and meant that the person was pregnant. A similar test was developed using immature rabbits, the rabbit test. Here, too, it was necessary to kill the animal to check its ovaries. An improvement arrived with the frog test that was still used in the 1950s. A female frog was injected with serum or urine of the patient. If the frog produced eggs within the next 24 hours, the test was positive. In the frog test, the animal remained alive, and could be used again." So I guess if you just look at that, Selmar and Bernhard made the first home test, but the egyptians were doing it up natural style centuries ago.

Cervical mucous isn't a good way to tell if you are pregnant or not, some woman have lots of cervical mucous and others don't have as much that shows. I'm pregnant and sometimes I have a lot, sometimes not much and some days I'm dry. Also, I took a test the day my period was due and it was negative the next day it was a faint +, I skipped a day and when my period was 4 days late I got a dark + and a "pregnant" on the Clear Blue Easy didgital. So don't be discouraged if at first it is negative and because of cervical mucous.

You're probably having a bio-chemical pregnancy...a natural early miscarriage. Sorry!

no way!

It is not considered abnormal for periods to be late without being pregnant so if the test are negative you probably are not pregnant. for some people just the stress of worry can be enough to cause this to happen. never the less it would probably be a good idea to get the advice of a doctor on this.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months. I have pcos, although its semi-mild. Since I've started keeping track of my periods, they've all been on time, down to the actual day. Untill now. I'm ten days late. And I had these awkward pelvic pains one day after we made love. I've taken 5 dollar store tests (trying not to spend alot of money on what could be just a scare!) they are all negative. But today, I noticed my shirt was wet, and looked down and there was a spot on my shirt from where my nipple was leaking. Theres no other explanation. I'm a perfectly healthy young woman!...why else would it do that, any suggestions here?

If you took one test and it came out positive, but your levels are dropping and a second test came back negative, then I would say no. But if you really want to know I would go to the doctors office and have them do a blood test to see if you are pregnant.

yes i can do it

its possible to be pregnant or stressed out or even having irregular periods. see your doctor.

You can be any age. And usually the people don't ask your age, so it doesn't matter how old you are.

"Unfortunately breast milk cannot be used to perform a pregnancy test. Breast milk does not occur until after the birth of the baby. Colostrum is the clear or milk coloured discharge from the nipples. This can also be a indication of too much progesterone, milk duct infection or a hormonal imbalance when its not pregnancy related. Breast milk does not contain HCG. The best method of testing is a blood test." If you are nursing, hcg can leak into breastmilk like it does into urine. It might leak into breastmilk first, and thus not enough be in the urine to show on a hpt. Now, as hpt's aren't designed to be used with breastmilk, it may also be a funky false positive...I would recommend getting a blood test. (I'm in the same boat...)

It does not matter what type of pregnancy test you take. They are all the same. But if you think that you are pregnant and your test turns out to be negative, i would go and see your doctor as soon as possible. Walmart has pregacy test that are $5.00 ad work really well.

I need to get 100iu injection of hcg in an insulin syringe, what can I do?
