A member asked:
Can a pregnancy test show up positive if your already pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Pregnancy test looks for presence of HCG in urine or blood. A pregnant woman always has a high enough HCG level for the result to be positive. A positive pregnancy test does not say any thing about how long the woman has been pregnant.
