Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Fri 10, Oct 2008 02:18am:

Hi, Pregnancy tests may yield false positive results. This depends on the brand, the amount of BhCG detected or how the user follows the instruction. This is why it is recommended that you repeat the test or to have a the blood test done, which is more accurate. Are there other signs or symptoms present? Signs of early pregnancy such as fatigue, breast tenderness, or nausea/vomiting are often correlated. Take care and regards.
