Just wondering if any of you out there has had a fasle positive on your HPT's. I just took a test and it says positive, and I'm freaking out, I'm scared to take another, we have wanted this for 5 long years and now maybe our dreams have come true. And advice would be great!! I had a lady atwork tell me that her dr. told her that there are no false positive's only false negatives. anyone know if thats true?

It depends on what kind of fertility treatment you have received. If you had a trigger shot for IUI or IVF you can have a false positive. If not, or if it has been more than 14 days, I think you have a BFP!

I think you would really only get a false positive if you're on injections. I hope it really is a BFP!

We did clomid and Gonal-F this time with timed conception.

Ditto re everyone else re. timing of the test and other hormones that might be present. But when I did an HPT earlier this year and it was faintly positive - I did lots of research and found that false positives are very rare - the inaccuracy with these tests is much more around false negatives...so good luck!

I heard the same thing about a faint positive is a positive. But, it also depends on what meds you take for fertility.
Sticky Baby Dust to you and I hope you are pregnant!! :-)

hpt's test for hcg hormone only. If you did not get an hcg trigger shot than you should not get a false positive. If you did get a trigger shot it would stay in your system for 10-11 days.
Good luck & congratulations

Thank you all for the advice and kind words. I was doing Gonal-F pen injections, I'm not sure if that has the HCG hormone or not

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
