Can Pregnancy Test Be False Positive?

I missed my period last month and had positive pregnancy test, then went to the doctor and it was negative. This month I got my period, and I have had it for 17 days. It hasn t been a heavy bleeding, however it is a brownish red color. I don t know what s going on, please help!

hi thanks for writing to us
whenever there are differences like this with period of ammenhorea ,it is advised a beta hcg test is done
since you are having prolonged bleeding there are chance that you could have had a miscarriage
ultrasound should be done to rule out products of conception or whether there is pregnancy in other than uterus
