Suggest Remedies To Confirm Pregnancy
I have just taken a pregnancy test and the result is positive, I am wondering that if I take another test in 2 or so hours and that comes back positive too what are the chances that I am actually pregnant as I've been reading up a lot on false positive results and am a bit worried?

hello there
thanks for writing to health care magic
there is chances of false positive test specially if urine is contaminated.
keep in mind that urine pregnancy test is only a screening test
it is never confirmatory, though it usually has a high sensitivity.
better to confirm with a vaginal sonography.
hope my answer helps you
thank you
