After taking emergency contraception (MAP) I started to bleed a week later, my period wasn't due for 3 weeks after the MAP.
The bleeding which changed in colour and flow continued for two weeks and i was passing small clots with cramping. I had taken the MAP a handful of times over the past decade and never had this happen. I then developed an unusual pain in the tip of my shoulder and a friend suggested I take a test just to be on the safe side as she had similar happen and was having an ectopic pregnancy. Prior to this, pregnancy had never crossed my mind.
I took two cheapo tests expecting a negative result and they came out positive, two pink lines immediately and although light they were undeniable BFP
Worrying, I called 111 to see if I could get an out of hours GP appointment as my doctors surgery had closed. I explained the test results, the pain and symptoms and the call handler told me to go to urgent care at the hospital within two hours.
By this point I'm hysterical and DH has gone white. We concluded that it must have happened prior to the MAP therefore the MAP was ineffective.
DH and I attend as instructed, urine and blood test was taken and 2 hours later the doctor tells us their results are negative and I'm not pregnant so the shoulder pain must be muscular and the bleeding, clots and cramps an early extended period.
I've been told there's no such thing as a false positive so what the hell happened here? I feel so humiliated and confused.
How can I test positive and then hours later negative?
I've been told to see my GP in a week and re-test to be on the safe side, but not to use another home test incase I get another false result
