A member asked:

I took a pregnancy test and the results came out positive. but i'm a guy? why is this happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well, let's: Say u are not pregnant. The tests can have false positives, you may have some HCG from another source, etc. I wouldn't worry too much though, sometimes, as u see, over testing can have a downside and result in unnecessary concern.
