false positive pregnancy test

[trenas07]

What are the odds of a woman, age 41 to come back with 5 positive home pregnancy tests and it be something other than pregnancy, like cysts or pre menopause?

highly unlikely. I'm sending you a private message.

False positives are extremely rare, and usually only happen due to expired tests or waiting to long to read the test. I'd say 5 positive tests are a good indication of a pregnancy.

This definitely requires confirmation via blood test from your doctor.  I don't believe that cysts or pre-menopause should alter your hcg levels to mimick a pregnancy.

I think it would be highly unlikely to have that many false positives unless there had been a chemical pregnancy.
