A member asked:

If i took a pregnancy test and its positive can i take it as i am pregnant how accurate is it i followed instructions carefully?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Positive pregnancy: test is highly accurate with high specificity. If pregnancy is unlikely you may see an OBY to rule out false positive test. Pregnancy test is not 100% accurate
