A member asked:
Is it possible to have a false positive on a pregnancy test? if so what causes it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are some molecules in the body that can mimic a pregnancy hormone molecule and create a false positive. This typically happens on a blood pregnancy test, not on the urine. Hope that helps.
