I tested and got a faint positive but then my period came two days later, so confused yaar. Now im scared to trust any test. What all things can make a test show wrong positive?
Most of the time it's not really false, it's reading the test too late and seeing an evaporation line. Always read within the time on the box. If you got a positive, just confirm with a beta hCG blood test, that's the real answer.
Oh I worried about this too. From what I read expired kits or faulty strips can also mess up results. I just did two different tests and then went to the doc to be sure.
My doctor said true false positives are pretty rare. They can happen with certain fertility injections that contain hCG, a recent miscarriage or chemical pregnancy, or sometimes an evaporation line that people mistake for a faint positive. If unsure, a blood test at the lab clears it up.
During IVF I got false positives from the trigger shot, it has hCG in it so the test reacts. It was so confusing emotionally. If you've taken any fertility meds, mention it to your doctor before believing the result.
