A member asked:
Another question is why did i have for a pregnancy test come back positive and then i took 3 more and it was negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: About 25% of early pregnancies are lost spontaneously due to chromosomal defects in the embryo. You may have lost an early pregnancy which would explain one positive test and negative follow-up tests. Another possibility is that the first test was not done correctly.
