         Most women know what a pregnancy test is and they use it every time they are not sure about their pregnancy. Although many of them don’t know how these tests work, yet they trust in their results because they have an accuracy rate of over 99%, and that’s their first choice. But, what could they think if the test result is a false positive one? A false positive pregnancy test is a test that shows you are pregnant even if you’re not.What is there to do in such a situation? What to think? How to act?

         Getting a false pregnancy test positive is a possible situation, but is quite rarely. However, the accuracy of those home pregnancy tests is not affected in the end because there can be many other reasons for that happening and the reasons aren’t in correlation with the test system, but rather with people not knowing how to use it – meaning that most tests are good ones.

         Firstly, one of the most common mistakes is not reading the test directions enough carefully. If you read more carefully those instructions you can remark there’s a limit time of checking and interpreting the test result. If you are too anxious and you don’t wait enough to see the result you can get a false one, but, on the other hand, if you wait too long for checking it you could also get a false result. So, you should follow up the directions for not having similar surprises. Also, you should assure that your test is not an expired one..so check out the best-before date!

         Another important reason of getting to such a result could be the exposure to soap, or other substances. Some women prefer to use a cup for collecting her urine and then to use this urine for taking the pregnancy test. Here could appear a problem: if you use a cup for this, make sure it is a very clean one and it hasn’t any leftover soap or detergent deposits because those can lead to a false test result (a false positive pregnancy test in our case).

         As many women already know, those pregnancy tests’ role is to detect the presence of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in a woman’s body. This hormone, besides known as the pregnancy hormone, usually appears in a woman’s body when she gets pregnant. But there could be some exceptions, some situations of getting this hormone in your body without being pregnant. One of those situations could be met by those women who are using hCG injections in order to get pregnant. So there is a possible explanation for the false positive pregnancy test: the pregnancy test detects the presence of the hCG injected, but not a produced one. Also, there are some other drugs that can lead to a false positive result: anti-Parkinson’s medicines, anti-convulsants, some tranquilizers and certain diuretics.

         The trophoblastic tumors, that grow in the reproductive system of a woman, can cause, as well, a false positive pregnancy test. They can induce a pregnancy feeling because they also produce hCG. So, if you aren’t in any of these situations related in the previous paragraph you should see a doctor, because when discovered early, those tumors can not cause severe problems.
