Positive Pregnancy Test

[SazzyC0]

Hi, I just did a pregnancy test and it came out positive. How reliable are these tests? Has anyone had a wrong result before? I cant afford to buy anymore until Friday, is it unreasonable to go to the docs and ask them after only taking one test??

If I remember rightly then it is possible to get a false negative test but not possible to get a false positive one. However I could well have got that the wrong way round. Either way, I don't see any problem in making an appt at your GP and telling them you believe you're pregnant and getting them to confirm it.

I only came off the injection about 5 weeks ago, but there is definitely a line that came up straight away, before the other line that always comes up anyway. Does this sound like a definite positive???

Like china I think is possible to geta false negative but not a false positive. Also any positive line no matter how faint counts!

My gp didn't routinely confirm my pregnancy, but I suppose they would if you asked!

Good luck!

Do you mean you came off Depo 5 weeks ago, i.e. had your last injection then or it's 5 weeks since it should have worn off (about 17 weeks since your last injection)? If it was the former then I'd be a bit concerned about the effectiveness of the injection - definitely ask your GP to take a test, they won't mind at all. When I was pregnant I knew that I was, despite 2 negative readings before eventually getting a faint positive. I told my GP I'd got a positive and he never offered to confirm, just took my word for it! Not sure about whether you can get a false positive, though.

I had my last injection about 17 weeks ago. I have not had a period since. I have an appointmet at the docs at 10.35 to get him to check.

often the GP wont want to see you, they will just notify midwife team who will see you at about 8 weeks pregnant.
But as you havent had a period on which to base a date then the GP may send test and then send you for a dating scan. This may be an internal scan if gestation early.

ps. Saver pharmancy sell tests for �2 i think

I'm so confused. I just split with my BF because he has slept with his second cousin and got her pregnant while we were 'on a break'. I'm just not sure I believe it, was definitely positive though. I also have a bit of a weird feeling 'downstairs', not sure what this is. It just seems so soon after injection.

[ummmm]

Your boyfriend slept with his cousin and got her pregnant.

You're not from Mayo are you?

[SazzyC0]

I went mad, I know what you mean. If you cant even trust a man with his own family who can you trust them with?!

[ummmm]

That's a bit worrying.....!!!

[ummmm]

The topic on Jeremy Kyle at the moment is 'My girlfriend left me........for her cousin'

And I'm not joking....

[SazzyC0]

Rare, but could be a false positive.

Repeat test in 2weeks time.

[4getmenot]

very rare sqad

[sqad617]

4get....yes, that's what I said.LOL

[4getmenot]

no you said rare I said very lol

[joko]

defo go to your GP - that is what they are there for... take the test with you to show them and say you would like them to confirm it for you... they won't mind because if its positive they will need to see you anyway for a check up and start you on a care system - or having an abortion if thats what you are wanting

[sqad617]

4get....quite so LOL

you can test a false negative result but you cannot get a false posotive result!

you can test positive and then test again a week later and it be negative but you are still posotively Pregnant.

you should start taking Folic Acid, as its good for baby Growth and you can get this prescribed from your GP
it is not unreasonable at all to goto your GP after one test.

Congratulations Your going to be a Mummy!!
