Question 1

pregnancy test positive?

Accepted Answer

Can retest next week: Unsure if a pregnancy test was positive or not? In such a case, a woman may be pregnant. When a pregnancy test has uncertain results, one can repeat a urine test a week later. If there is a true pregnancy, the test should be positive a week later. There is generally no need to retest sooner.

Question 2

can u get positive pregnancy test at 12 dpo?

Accepted Answer

May be: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Question 3

can you have a false positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Yes
: Certain tumors produce HCG and these will produce a false-positive pregnancy test even in a man. A chemical pregnancy (in which the conception is lost very early) might be considered a false-positive. I trust the specimen is not contaminated. Good luck; i hope that whatever comes next is what you want.

Question 4

can i get a positive pregnancy test at 7 dpo?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The pregnancy test won't be positive this early. It could be positive up to 4 or 5 days before a missed period.

Question 5

could plan b cause a positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

No: If the pregnancy test is positive, then perhaps Plan B failed or you were already pregnant when you took it. Please get with your physician now -- this could be a critical time for you.

Question 6

can i get a positive pregnancy test at 11 dpo?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, typically this is "around" when you would start to get a positive pregnancy test.  Of course ovulation and fertilization can be +/- a few days on either side, so if it's negative, you may want to re-test in 4-5 days.

Question 7

what would cause a false positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Three tests are what you are asking about and the statistics make that virtually impossible to have been a false positive.

Question 8

positive pregnancy test but just started bleeding?

Accepted Answer

: Consult your OBGYN doctor for advice and or an exam if indicated.

Question 9

is it possible to get 4 false positive pregnancy test ?

Accepted Answer

No, but...: Anything is possible in life, but 4 false positive tests is stretching it. To avoid more than one false positive, buy different brands of tests (in case there is a bad batch of tests out there). One should not do the tests on the same day, but 5-7 days apart, so that if a pregnancy has gone away, the later tests will be negative. Rare reasons include: http://www.Pregnancylab.Net/pituitary-hcg/.

Question 10

can you get a positive pregnancy test 3 days after sex?

Accepted Answer

No: A home pregnancy test that detected HCG in the urine can be positive in about 2-3 weeks.  But if you have a blood test drawn, they are positive much earlier -- although usually only after several days. So -- no!
