Hello,

False positive pregnancy test is very rare but it may occur if one had a very early miscarriage. Side effects of certain drugs can also cause such false results. You are suggested to check the medicines you are taking(you have not mentioned any here). It may occur if the fertilized embryo is unable to grow or implant.

It may be that the you are on fertility medications that may have raised your HCG, the pregnancy test is expired. You may have an ectopic pregnancy. You are suggested to get clinically examined & get USG (Uterus & tubes) done to detect the cause. Your treatment will depend on the clinical condition & reports obtained.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
