<\/div>\n\n\n\nFAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can I Get A False Positive Pregnancy Test Result?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes. It is rare, but no test is 100% accurate so a false positive result is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certain drugs (including fertility drugs) can cause a false positive result. You will also get a positive result with a chemical pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Is A Chemical Pregnancy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A chemical pregnancy is a type of early miscarriage that occurs within the first 5 weeks of your last period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have a positive test, but then begin bleeding shortly afterward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is believed to be caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the developing fetus and is often mistaken for a normal or late period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bleeding and cramping are usually similar to a menstrual period<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Is An Ectopic Pregnancy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is where the fertilized egg attaches to somewhere outside of the uterus (usually the fallopian tube.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have early pregnancy symptoms and a positive home test but sadly the fetus cannot develop to full term outside of the uterus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have watery or dark brown vaginal bleeding, tummy pain, shoulder tip pain, or discomfort going to the toilet within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy contact your healthcare provider for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I Get A False Negative?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes, if the first home pregnancy test you take is before or close to implantation your HCG levels will not be sufficiently high enough and you will get a false negative pregnancy test result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Given my own issues with not realizing I was pregnant, I thought it would be helpful to do a post on the timing of pregnancy testing. Most people are familiar with the core essentials. Unprotected sex leads to the meeting of sperm and an egg in the fallopian tube.
