Toddler test positive on pregnancy test?

[blushmint]

Okay, so since giving birth 5 months ago, not had my period. I'm most likely 99 percent not pregnant but had spares laying around so thought I'd do a test. Very very faint positive.

However after researching the brand "freedom in knowing" apparently they give off fake positives (phew!)

So I thought I'd test out on my dd 3 to check. And within 30 seconds a definite clear positive test.

Now I know she's not pregnant but could this mean there is a medical underlying problem??

No it means the tests are shit.

It probably just confirms your suspicion that they're not good tests?

I hope so. I just get on google and now in panic mode

She's at the hospital tomorrow to get her white blood cells recounted as they were too low 6 weeks ago.
I really hope it isn't related

I had a faint positive on these, heard horror stories so asked for other family members to take them. It turns out that my 17 & 18 year old SONS are also pregnant 😂😂

Rubbish tests - don’t buy them :)

Those tests aren't great op. I used them and it give me a false positive. I know they are cheap when Ttc or on a budget buy I'd only use a more reputable one now.

The funny thing for me is that with those cheap tests I tested positive when not pregnant but a couple months down the line they were negative when clear blue were saying pregnant. Swiftly put them in the bin after that.

That is dreadful!!! Can you imagine if you were trying and got a positive the disappointment that would follow

Exactly what I was thinking.

It would break a woman ttc in pieces
I'm gonna complain and see what avenues I can go down to get them removed from stores.

They're horrible tests - I had lots of false positives with that type (though to be fair I also had a real skill for seeing lines which weren't there).

I do think though, that positives can indicate something...I think it might be diabetes?
I'm sure someone on here will know.

But it does also sound like those tests are shit

Do the ones in the pound shop give false negatives ?

I hope your dd is okay at the hospital @blushmint.

I had this on one of them freedom tests this week I'm now on my usual period.

Tbh I've never had a bad experience with pound shops when I was pregnant positive. When I wasn't, negative

And thank you!!!

Only if they're actually sugar dipstick tests that have been fraudulently packaged as pregnancy tests, which is possible but unlikely. They're probably just shit.

This is terrible. Complain to the consumer agency there (sorry not in UK so I don't know what it's called there).

It’s if a male gets a positive, it can indicate some types of testicular cancer, which make HCG. Despite being rare, it’s the most common cancer in males ages 15 to 35.
