Positive home pregnancy test, negative doctor pregnancy test. Am I pregnant
This happened to me while I was on the Depo Provera birth control shot. So, I was getting positive AND negative home pregnancy tests and I decided to go to the doctor. So, maybe like three weeks or so after I had the last home pregnancy test (it was positive and so was the one before it but before those two ALL of the other ones were negative) I saw the doctor and had some pregnancy tests done there. The thing is, that pregnancy test turned out to be negative!
I've been off of the depo shot for about two months now and I'm getting very faint positives when I take home pregnancy tests, but the thing is that I don't want to go BACK to the doctor with my hopes up and be let down again.
What causes false positives? I mean, obviously my home pregnancy tests showed positive when I wasn't pregnant, right?
I'm 24 and have a 9 month old, and I've been getting that particular "feeling" you get when you're pregnant. There's no way to describe it other than it is just being a weird feeling.
I've also gotten pregnant on birth control twice now. Once when I was 19 (had a horrible miscarriage) and again with my son. So, needless to say, I'm fertile and am paranoid about getting pregnant again and losing the baby.
Are there any doctors here that might have answers to my pregnancy problem? Mine couldn't muster up any reasons as to why I got false positives. I'm not sure I'm ready to go through all their tests again just to be told "Nope, not pregnant, sorry!"
I'm just confused...am I pregnant or not?!?!

Pregnacy test after having a baby can be tricky because of the hormone HCG. You will still have this hormone in you to reflect as positive. You could be pregnant but the sure way of determing this is a blood test from the doctor. Also, your mind can control how your body reacts and responds because you want to be pregnant. I am not a doctor, but I have gone through the same thing.
The only thing to do is go through all the test and hear nope you're not pregnant in order to keep trying. "smile"
Good Luck
