Can you gat a false positive 4 months after giving birth and while fully breastfeeding?

[shockednamechanger]

Title says it all, really.

I wouldnt think so, and positive is a postive from what i understand.. you can only get a false negative. I take it you are in a bit of shock hun .xx Congratulations.. I think !!

I doubt it either.

Fwiw I was pg with dd2 when dd1 when 3 months (though not bf ing and it was planned) and we are all still alive

You will manage.

So bf doesn't produce the hormones that give you a positive pg test?

Anyone any experience of this?

er ... don't think so, sorry, but you might want to do some wider Googling (I'm sure you already are).

Have a cup of tea and a sit down

No definately not! I'm think you might me pregnant xx

No Shocked - BF does not produce HCG - HCG is only produced in large enough quantities for a pg test to pick up in pregnancy.

from the mum of a 17wo ... wow, congratulations

O.M.G.

Congratulations BTW.

dying to know who you are!

girlsayearapart - did you have to take additional vitamin supplements or anything (apart from folic acid?) Do you think I need to get to the Docs asap or shall I wait for a month or so (think I must be about 4-5 weeks along, IF the pg test is telling the truth...)

Shocked - if you are BF I would take a general pg supplement just to ensure you are getting eerything you need whiilst making milk and growing a baby, but just folic acid should be fine.

I would give the GP surgery a ring and see what they say about making an appointment.

I just took folic acid I think but I wasn't breastfeeding.

Even though it was planned it was still a shock but we coped fine and have 3rd on the way. Even with hindsight I wouldn't have done it any differently.

I went to the doc as soon as I found out as my first choice of hospital gets booked up v quick.

I had a positive test at four months with two different superdrug tests(exclusive bf using condoms) recently then some negative ones clearblue. Doctor did bloods in the end and beta hcg was

Ok. Breathing again.

We haven't been using contraception, but thought we were in the clear as it took us a very long time to conceive our first.

Calculating back, I'd be either 6 weeks or just under 4 weeks pg. Been feeling a bit dizzy/sick for a little while, but too busy to dig out the tests, so I reckon must be 6 weeks ish.

Will get to Docs for an HCG and a telling off.

Stealth - will come clean once pg is confirmed.....

arrghh will never figure out links

Congrats......quietly!

How exciting - marking place for later update!

Thanks Mrs Potato Chip. Though again at twins being more likely when you get pg when breastfeeding.

If it makes you feel any better I was so worried then but thinking about it now and looking at my big sitting eating yelling stocky 7 month old I reckon we could totally handle it......

Of course that's easy for me to say

Bumping in case anyone else has had similar experiences to MsPotatoChip.

There's no doubt, there is a second, though faint, line on the test.

DH wants to wait a week or so and see if it gets darker before I go to the GP. Meanwhile I have started the Folic acid, iron and vitamins..... (was already taking them because of bf, but will be more diligent now.)

Oh, just go to the GP - waiting will just prolong the suspense!

I have had a similar thing with faint lines - all three times, it turned out to be pregnancy - only on DC, though :-(

That should be "only one DC"

The Boss of Me - similar experiences here too.

Which is one of the reasons I am a bit
