Hello, I was wondering if you could help. I started my last period 23 days ago, and during then and now have been having unprotected sex. A little more than a week ago I started to have strong period pains. They've continued, accompanied by tiredness, saw breasts, and a bloated feeling. (The symptoms I usually get during my period.) At a whim I decided to do an early pregnancy test. It was positive. I did a second one, also positive, and went to the doctor. She told me it was impossible as my period had been so recent. I felt very foolish. I convinced her to let me to do a urine test. It confused me that she only looked at the test for about 20 seconds before putting it in the bin - even before the moisture had bled across the whole test, during which time she showed me that there was no positive line. Distrusting her and my previous home tests I bought another brand and they also said positive. I'm VERY confused. I'm worried something else may be wrong with me if not pregnancy.

Answer by Dr. Namita Shrivastava (doctor) on Sun 02, Aug 2009 04:10am:

Hi, The chances of your being pregnant are present though very little chances are there. Sometimes the time of ovulation may be early or late that is it may be unpredictable even in people with regular cycles. Implantation takes another 10-12 days. So if ovulation occurred early in your case ,chances are there that you might be pregnant. Urine pregnancy tests detect a hormone called HCG in urine which is produced after embryo implantation.False positive test may also be seen in certain conditions due to spurious evaporation lines which may appear even if read after the suggested 3–5 minute window or reaction time, independent of an actual pregnancy;conditions where HCG production is there in the body for example diseases of the liver, choriocarcinoma and other germ cell tumors, IgA deficiencies, gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), and gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN). A woman who has been given an hCG injection as part of infertility treatment will test positive on pregnancy tests that assay hCG, regardless of her actual pregnancy status. You can go for obstretic USG (ultrasonography)to confirm after about a week of missing periods. Gestational sac can be visualised at four and a half to five weeks of gestation.Consult a reputed gynaecologist and discuss. Hope this helps. Thanks &Regards.
