Can ovarian cysts give a false positive?
by kmcarino, Mar 02, 2009 08:45AM
I took a hpt this morning because I wanted to see "pregnant" for myself. I read the infromation in the box and it said that ectopic or ovarian cysts can give a misleading result. Does that mean they could cause a false positive or a false negative? Do ovarian cysts produce HCG? I thought they only produced progesterone? I am confused. I really hope my level doubles tomorrow..it is so hard to wait. By the way, I forgot to mention that I know that I have three cysts on each ovary which is why I am concerned with a false positive. Could a blood test for pregnancy be false too?
