Pregnancy

[AngelMum1]

hi everyone, is it possible to get a false positive test?

following my history, ectopic with tube remove 3 months ago, suspected ectopic/misscarriage in 2021 and full term still birth in 2020.

im not due til friday, these test where taken this morning and photo also

Many thanks

As far as I'm aware it's not possible to get false positives like yours because these tests need the presence of HCG to be triggered. These tests look pretty strong, especially since you're not due on till Friday.

Good luck, will be letting everything crossed for you xx

thank you. I think I know there not false however I think I just needed reassurance 🙂 with my history and only being 3 months since the last, I'm waiting to get in at epu as advice after all the other, as I have aps also thank you

I don’t think you’d get 3 false positives. Good luck! Pregnancy can be a scary time anyway but after what you’ve been through, I bet your anxiety is through the roof. I also had ectopic with tube removal and a number of miscarriages but I now have 2 little girls.

Give your doctor a call and get an appointment given your history. I was treated as high risk with mine and they gave me early scans.

I would say technically it is possible to get a false positive but not THREE! Definitely accurate if there are 3 positives x

thank you, yes I'm going to call epu today aswell as gp, as I'm high risk and if this sticks 🤞I will go in at 37 weeks due to my history. I need to have blood thinners and highly monitored. Yes my anxiety is at an all time high, however I'm trying not to stress, eaiser said than done

AngelMum1 any updates?

[AngelMum1 in reply to Sunnyday33]

I had 1st blood draw, this come back as 86, I'm in for a 2nd today. I knew it would come back low as I'm only roughly 3weeks. When I had my first draw in March it come back at 77 and I was little further along then so keeping everything crossed

[AngelMum1 in reply to AngelMum1]

I've had my 2nd results come back as 206 I'm back in a week for another blood draw hopefully they have risen enough to have a scan

Good luck xx

[AngelMum1 in reply to Seb9]

thank you. I'm keeping everything crossed 🙂

[AngelMum1]

good afternoon, I've had my blood results back, so this is third one 4595 🙂. I've a scan booked for next week to check location so fingers crossed

[Seb9 in reply to AngelMum1]

Will keep everything crossed for you 🤞🫶

update;

I've had my scan confirmed in right location, I'm currently 5+4 so I'm back in a few weeks to recheck, they have put me on cyclogest

congratulations 😊

To anyone else wondering the same thing. A false positive is extremely rare. A false negative can be quite common especially if you test early. If you have several positive tests I think it’s safe to say you are pregnant. I know it’s hard to believe it straight away I am the same. I am 6 weeks pregnant. I took 3 tests and I still think I won’t truly believe it till my scan 😂

[AngelMum1]

come to give an update, I've had booking app, put at very high risk due to my history, I've had multiple scans and everything seems to be going in the right direction. The baby had a strong heartbeat 🤞 I get to the end and bring a baby home

[Seb9 in reply to AngelMum1]

That's great news, please keep us updated. We are all hoping beyond hope that everything goes well for you and baby xx

[AngelMum1 in reply to Seb9]

Thank you so much, I will keep all updated. Still very anxious but hopeful that I get all the right care this time round.
