Protien = posotive

Hi, I am new on here, so hi to everyone. Just needed some advice, I did two PG tests that were both posotive, but when I went the docs today he said to not get my hopes up as protien can cause false posotives, although I have never heard this, the only thing I have heard can cause a false posotive are recent miscarriage and ectoptic pregnancy. has anyone else heard this?

The fact I got a postotive anyway was shocking (we had been careful and it took me ages to get PG the first time of trying.) I have had symptoms that I also had with my first, that is why I tested.

Any advice would be welcome, thanks.

hmmm not heard that one before. pregnancy tests are only desinged to pickup the hormone HCG so i doubt anything else would make a line come up.

Thanks for that, that is what I thought, but that is what the doctor said. I am handing in a sample tomorrow so I will find out soon. I have done another test since the other two which was also posotive, so who knows . . .????


P.s, congrats on ur PG, hope u a happy and healthy 9 months! :)

Doctors have been known to be wrong ;)
Good luck!

Thanks, I will find out for sure Thursday so I will post then.:)

I always thought a negative could be a positive but a positive was deffo a positive (If I make sence)

I've not heard that before, I agree with the others. The tests are designed to picked up on the HCG and wont read positive unless the levels are high enough.

Have you done a CB digital? x x

I agree with the others too, never heard of that before.

Hi, no I have not done a clearblue but I will get my results on Thursday and if not I will get one. I have done 4 tests now, all positive, so maybe the doctor dont know what he is talking about ..??

It is reassuring that noone else had heard of it either! I got a false negative with my first but I have never had a false positive.

Thanks for the response and I will keep everyone posted. :)

LOL, totally agree, that is what I have always thought! :)

Go and get a clear blue digi....i can't wait til Thursday and i can't believe you can!!!

I think you can get false negatives but not false positives as they only pick up the PG hormone....i think you are pregnant!!!

ive never heard that either! oddness, i hope its the resul your hoping for!

To be honest I can't wait until Thursday, but that is when I get my pennies! :( If I had money today I would have gone straight out and got one.

Oh well, only another two long days to go . . . *sob*

good luck for thursday hun. xxx

thanks! :)

sound like ur preggers to me:happydance:

yeah my partner is saying that and i could not resist but do another test this morning, lol. Positive again, so if my test comes back negative from the doc tomorrow, I don't see why to be honest.

Only another day to go now and then I will know for sure . . .

Sounds like a defo :bfp: to me hun but good luck for tomorrow anyway xxx

That's weird! I agree with everyone else - a positive is a postivie. The only things that can give you a 'false pos' are some fertility drugs and a recent pregnancy or miscarriage. Maybe look for a new dr!
Congrats on your :bfp: Hope it all works out. So exciting :)

LOL, I was thinking myself I should find a new doctor, he did not seem like he could be assed and seemed as though he wanted to get me out of there as soon as he could and not have to deal with it. Not an attitude to have!

Thanks for all the best wishes, I will post my results tomorrow if they r back.

:) :)

i agree with the others, and I would definitely change doctors. Or when you go back ask him how protein can make an Hcg test register positive as there are a lot of girls on here who would like to know about it if it's true! xxx

CONGRATS!

good luck for today

good luck xx

Hi, well I told my health visitor when I took to get my baby weighed and she had never heard of it either. The doctor said that we all make protien but I don't think he knows what he is talking about.

By the way, I went for my results today and they were postitive. I am pregnant. :)

It was a shock though as we had been careful, but I am pleased beyond words. :) Just have to wait for MW to get in touch now and go for a scan before I know how long I am, but I cant wait to see my little bean! :) I think I am 7 or 8 weeks.

Thanks for all the well wishes! :)
