Hello, i have a problem. on may 18, they discovered a cyst on my ovary. 2 days ago i had 2 positive pregnancy tests and yesterday positive at the health center. is it possible for the cyst to give a false positive result? i'm so sad?

It is unlikely for an ovarian cyst to cause a false positive pregnancy test result. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries, and they do not produce the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is what pregnancy tests detect. False positives can be caused by testing errors or certain medical conditions such as ovarian cancer, pituitary disorders, or meds with hCG.
