A member asked:
This morning i did a test and it came out positive, but my boobs don't feel sensitive or anything, is there any way of having a false positive?

Improbable: Any test can have a false positive or negative result but that is not the most likely explanation for your result. You indicate an abortion under procedures, if this was very recent you could still test positive due to "left over" hormone from that pregnancy.
