What Causes Different Results For Pregnancy Tests?
I took a pregnancy test early this morning and and it came back negative. Then this afternoon I took it apart and went on it again (out of curiosity), and it showed a positive line. I was just wondering if I could trust the test the second time around. Thanks!
Urine pregnancy test may be faint positive or false negative in early pregnancy.It is due to less amount of HCG hormone in urine in early pregnancy. You should repeat urine pregnancy test after 10 days. But,you also need ultrasound of pelvis for confirmation of pregnancy.It is the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy as it can detect G-sac earliest. Hope i have answered your query.
