Is there such a thing as a false POSITIVE?

[swiftangel]

Hi all,



   I have a confusing issue that I need clarification with. I took a digital pregnancy test yesterday and the reading came up as positive. This morning I took the test at about the same time and it was the 2nd test stick that came with the other, so same brand and everything. However, today when I took the test, it came up as negative...sooo.....which am I???

I had that happen to me back in august. I used the Confirm Clearly Brand and I got three Positives and a couple of days later I got two negatives. I hate digital! I was crushed. I mean after three positives I was starting to believe that I was pregnant but I was wrong.



Buy a First Response. Good Luck to you.

Yes, there have been claims of false positives on the digital tests.  



I would wait 2 days and use a different brand of test.  If you are pg, the hcg will have time to double and any pg test should show an accurate answer.

JJety is right. Good Luck to you.

I think the digitals are ****. I used one and it was wrong as well.

Thanks everyone....I went to the doc and got a blood test done, but I won't find that out till tomorrow afternoon. I'm not feeling any different and at this point I'm very skeptical at whether or not I am pregnant. I really hope so!!! My husband and I have been trying and it would be nice to have a baby on the way before he deploys!!! Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

Keep us posted on what the Dr tells you.  I used a digital test...the Clear Blue that tells you "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" and it was right!  

Heres a website about false positives:
