False positives aren't common... If you
get a positive it's 99.9% accurate.
Go get a blood test &get it confirmed.

I did a pg test at the end of last week or
during the weekend and it was negative,
then I went to the dr on tuesday and I
found that I had a yeast infection so I
did the canestin 3 day treatment, last day
of treatment was friday and I did the pg
test last night and go a positive result,
could the med in the canestin give me a
false negative

No. Meds for yeast infection will not
give you a false positive. Go back to the
doctor and get a blood test. That will be
definitive. Good luck!

Positive Positive! Posted: 05-21-06 20:15pm
Nope, unlikely to get false positive.
You would have to be taking med which
contains human growth hormone.
And it would have to contain quite a bit
of it too.
Congrats.

Congratulations on the definate, positive,
positive!
Were you ever checked for incompetent
cervix after your 2nd miscarriage? It's a
condition where your cervix does not stay
closed like it should when you are
pregnant, and it causes repeated
miscarriage- once the baby gets to a size
where it's putting some pressure on the
cervix, it just starts to open. It's
easily fixed up- they just out in a stitch
(minimal risk to baby) then they take the
stitch out when the baby is ready to be
born.
Ask your doctor about it.
All the best to you and your family.
