False positives aren't common... If you get a positive it's 99.9% accurate.

Go get a blood test &get it confirmed.

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!
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.
