Why Was The HPT Test On First Time Positive And Then Negative And Also Having Headaches, Back Pain And Bloating?
I had a pomeroy tubal 14 years ago. My cycle has run like clockwork every 23 days. My last cycle was 11/12/13. When my cycle was supposed to start I spotted a brown discharge for 2 days. I took a HPT and the first one came out positive. I took a second one and it was negative. I have been having mild cramping, headaches, mild back pain, nausea, bloating, gas and flutters in my belly. I took a progesterone blood test and it was negative. I also have Lupus. Please explain what is going on.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
First pregnancy needs to be ruled out. Blood HCG test are more sensitive than urine test.
False positive test results may occur for several reasons, including errors of test application, use of drugs containing the assay molecule, and non-pregnant production of the assay molecule.
Rare conditions where HCG is increased other than pregnancy are diseases of the liver, cancers like choriocarcinoma and other germ cell tumors, IgA deficiencies.
Consult gynecologist for evaluation and further management
Hope this helps you.
Regards
