A member asked:

A couple weeks ago i took an at home pregnancy test and it came out positive. i have a iud so i went to the doctor next day & my urine & blood work was negative. im just curious what caused the positive result. she said my iud is also still in place?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you do not follow the testing instructions precisely you can get a false positive. Especially if you do not read the stick within the prescribed time. Another explanation could be that an early pregnancy was lost spontaneously as happens with about 30% of pregnancies.
