Little Advice?
Posted: 03-08-07 22:19pm

I think I might be pregnant but I'm not sure. I had been sick resently and I'm starting to think that may be the reason why. I experienced fatigue, stomach aches and it was just hard to do anything physically. My breasts also started getting larger a month or two ago. Aslo, in the past few days I started to get extremely bad acne even though I normally only get one or two zits when I'm about to get my period. I've taken pregnancy tests and they were all negative. I am about a week late so I took another one and it was positive. However, I don't know how tht could be since I haven't had sex since the last time I took the test. My fiance and I always use spermacidal condoms as well. I realize that condoms are only 97% effective against pregnancy so there's still a chance but I would just like a little input.

A positive test means you are pregnant. .Just because previous tests said you weren't doesn't mean you weren't pregnant when you took them. .Your body might not have built up enought hormone to be detected in a test untill you took the positive one.

.I hope everything goes well for you!

yep. a positive test definitely means you're pregnant. call your obgyn & book an appointment & tell them you have no idea how far long you would be & they'll probably do an ultrasound to tell you how far along you are & about when you conceived.

as to my understanding a prenancy test can have false negatives becasue it depends on the amount of Hcg in your urine at that time this can depend on when you take the test as well as the amount of fluids you drank before taking the test. But its very unlikely to have a false positive, as the test had to pick up hcg (Pregnancy hormone) somewhere.

A positive test means you are pregnant just because prevous tests say negative it just means you took them to early to detect any HCG levels in your urine! It is true you can have a false positive but it is rare. You can always take another test just in case or go see the doctor to put your mind at rest if that turns out to be positive then you are definatly pregnant if it is a negative result then see you doctor straight away! Good Luck
