You can have an implantation bleed, or even a short period, after you conceive. As far as I know, you don't get false positives.

Lia don't won't to put a downer on things but I had this three times last year - where had a positive test then cramps and bleeding. Doc reckoned these were very early miscarriages - sorry. Also had a few positives after the bleeding - it can take a while for the hormones to get out of your system.
Test again in a week to be sure. Hope I'm wrong.
(p.s. I am now 39 wks pregnant).

You dont get false pos but u can get evaporation lines. It could be an early mc or it could be implantation.
Best thing to do is phone ur gp although if u would only be 4wks ish pg then there is not a lot they can do apart from wait to scan at 5/6 wks.
Good luck hun
