Repeat it: Very unlikely unless you just read it wrong. Simply repeat the test following the instructions on the box. Then start your prenatal vitamins and find a doctor to begin your prenatal care.

Pregnancy test: A false positive pregnancy test is very unlikely, but it can happen. Stress by itself should not lead to a false positive test. If you have any question about whether or not you are pregnant, having a formal pregnancy test at a clinic, doctor's office, or pregnancy help center can confirm it for you either way.
