It's super rare, unlike my baby waking up every 2 hours which is 100% guaranteed! Usually, a positive means positive, but maybe check with another brand.

False positives are quite rare but can happen due to chemical pregnancies or specific medications. The best way to be sure is to get a beta HCG blood test or see your doctor.

When I had a faint line, I immediately called my hospital coordinator and they scheduled a blood test for the same afternoon. It's best to let the clinical staff confirm it.

I thought mine was a false positive or mistake and ended up having twins! Take it as a positive and book an appointment with your doctor soon.
