: Falsely positive pregnancy tests are a rarity. You could have performed the test carelessly,it might have been a detective kit,it may have been too early in a pregnancy, or it may have been a lost pregnancy soon after fertilization or chemical pregnancy. Your gynecologist can advise you best on this matter.
