Pregnancy tests

How likely is it to get a false-pos?

[Baby1_2]

From first response and there were a lot "false positives" so for future pregnancies I'll just use the ones from the dollar store! ;)

Yeah no miscarrage, never had one thank god! But it was just a false positive... I took the digital test and I came back positive, same day I took a cheap from the the dollar store and it was negative so next day I asked one of my doctors (work in a doctors office) to give me a lab order and it came back negative... So she just said it was a false positive.... After that I read a lot of reviews fr

Baby1_2 it's actually much more likely that you had a very early miscarriage than you got a false positive on your pregnancy test.    I've read that at least 20% of pregnancies end in early miscarriage - the number isn't exactly known because often women don't even know they're pregnant yet.

@ Thanford sounds like a good chance you are :) congrats!...there are a couple reasons why false positives could happen..such as a chemical pregnancy..evaporated positive(when you check to late and the evaporation changes a correct negative) Or even some medications have the hcg hormone that the test will pick up

I agree with the dollar ones. They are pretty accurate ! I bought 4 lol and they all came out positive

I would say so! Definitely not likely to get 2 false positives!  Congrats :)

Well I bought one got a positive then tested again the next day in the morning and it's still positive. My period still has not come. I think I'm 99% sure I am lol.

Only way I can see it being a false positive I'd if your looking at an evap line, thinking it says positive.... ive never had a false positive... if your ever not sure, try a digital test or go to your dr for a urine/blood test

I got a false positive on a test that was under my sink for a year. Bought a brand new one and it was negative

I got a false positive. But it was a chemical pregnancy. For like 2 months I only bleed for 2/3 days

[Baby1_2]

I got a false positive with "early response" it sucked! I used the test as directed and waited the time I was supposed to wait and gave me a "positive" the next day I got my period =( .... Just buy pregnancy test from the dollar store, believe or not, they are super accurate! More than the fancy ones that give you "false positives". At my doctors office they use the very cheap ones that look like the ones from the dollar store....

You'll never get a false positive, the only time pregnancy tests are wrong is false negatives.
