Could A Pregnancy Test Be Wrong?

Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
A truly “false positive” test result, due to a faulty home pregnancy test is fairly rare. A positive result which is not repeatable, with subsequent home pregnancy tests, is usually because of one of these reasons: Chemical pregnancy, missed reaction time, chemical interference or an evaporation line on the pregnancy test.
So I will suggest you to undergo ultrasound which will confirm whether you are pregnant or not.Thank you.
