HOME PREGNANCY TESTS

HCG pregnancy tests or home pregnancy tests are pregnancy tests that determine the results calculating the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in woman's urine. You should wait for a few days after you noticed you missed a period to take a home pregnancy test. Home tests are aobut 97% accurate if you followed the instructions correctly and the results are read immediately.

WHAT IS FALSE POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST?

A false positive pregnancy test means that your pregnancy test indicates that you are pregnant, but actually you are not. False positive pregnancy tests are rare – if your pregnancy test says you are pregnant, you probably are – though there are reasons where they can occur.

WHY WOULD I GET A FALSE POSITIVE TEST?

Chemical Pregnancy
A chemical pregnancy is an early miscarriage. Unfortunately, almost half of first pregnancies end in miscarriages. Due to a chemical pregnancy and a high sensitivity of home pregnancy test many women get pregnant but later get their periods. Missed Reaction Time
This means that your home pregnancy test was not read on time. If you read your home pregnancy test to late it can show that you are pregnant, but in fact, you are not. Chemical Interference
There are drugs containing pregnancy hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in them and that is the reason why your pregnancy test may show false results. The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in those drugs make pregnancy tests inaccurate. If you have had an HCG shot make sure that it has gone out of your body before taking your pregnancy test to avoid false positive results. Improper Reading
Improper testing can lead to false positive results. Make sure you follow the instructions given with your pregnancy test to avoid false positive results. Your home pregnancy test instructions tell you exactly when test results must be read and when test results show false results. Some pregnancy tests might show false results if not read in specified time. Make sure you watch how long has it been since taking your test. Sometimes only a few minutes can pass by and seem like hours so be sure you know exactly when to read it! Defective Tests
Make sure you take a test before its expiration date. After the specified date it might show inaccurate results. Also, be sure that you bought a good pregnancy test, because some of the cheaper are faulty.
