Can positive pregnancy tests be false?

[Himbeerrot]

My last period was 10 March, (I made a thread about if it is to do with being overweight) went for my smear on weds and mentioned this when she was asking the usual questions.
She suggested I POAS and I did just because but not for one minute thinking it would be positive but it was
I was kind of shocked into just leaving but since I've been panicking reading things about what can cause a false positive.

Is it possible for a false positive to just be a false positive. Even when it's a Dr's test?

Good Luck

I had a false positive on a Superdrugs digital test a few years ago got 6 of them reduced 5 negative and one positive although they were reduced and near their shelf life. I wasn't pregnant that time. Had another brand, just a 99p cheapo got lots of positives on them but clear blue negative. Dr said it was probably a faulty batch and to rule out a pregnancy. Period that month was really heavy and full of clots. So yeah false positives do happen but I wouldn't have thought the test at the Drs plus the one you did would both be a false one.

That sounds more like an early miscarriage than a false positive.

OP, I hope you get an answer tomorrow. It must be a concern.

@Himbeerrot

Not menopausal, definitely not 6 months pregnant. I know some people do find out late but there's no way, sorry for tmi but with my other children when I was more than 4 months pregnant, if I orgasmed then my lower stomach felt really hard for a few minutes and I've not had that at all.

But you said you haven't had sex in 6 months?

But you said you haven't had sex in 6 months?

Don’t need to have sex to have an orgasm! Unless I’m doing it wrong

Wow. Best of luck op whatever the outcome is

OMG imagine if it's a baby and your almost ready to pop but baby is in your back it happens good luck

I wonder if it's a missed miscarriage.

No sex but have had orgasms myself

Good luck today.

Happened to a friend. She was indeed 7 months pregnant. Even at the end, you wouldnt have known - she’s very tall (like 6ft)... you’re not are you?

Wow, I’ve never heard of this. Good luck for whatever happens today Op!

Good luck op! Xx

When is the scab?

Scan. Sorry!

Approx 15wk pregnant. We did go to a wedding at end of march. I did drink but I'm sure it wasn't enough to not realise we'd had sex but apparently so!

Glad I'm neither seriously ill or 6 months gone though

Congratulations

Oh my goodness what a shock! How are you feeling?

Shocked actually. As far as I remember I haven't had sex in 6 months. And dh has had the snip. He says we didn't dtd just foreplay but I guess that was enough

I say wedding. It was a 'wedding' as in a massive zoom piss up with the couple due to get married. So not like we were in a hotel or anything where our be more likely to remember fooling around with it being unfamiliar surroundings.
I guess with it just being at home it was normal /natural so I don't remember

Sounds like you just forgot you had sex and it was no great mystery after all!

Congratulations OP!

Yep, well according to dh we didn't actually have sex just other stuff, obviously meant to be seeing as we didn't have full PIV and he's had the snip 🙈

I guess your DH will need another vasectomy!

Congratulations, how are you feeling?

Christ almighty I keep reading this lately, I wonder if you had the same doctor that keeps doing the snips that aren't working!

In all seriousness, congrats. It's a one in a million chance and meant to be!

OP this little bub has defeated all odds to be conceived.

Congrats
