Question : Is it possible for pregnancy test to be positive even if you are not pregnant ?
Answer : Yes , it is , though it is unusual . There are two reasons. The first is if you have had a very early spontaneous miscarriage ; this happens in 15 per cent of all conceptions. These very sensitive tests will diagnose pregnancy early and then you will go on a week or so later to have a normal period . The second reason for a positive test is very rare and occurs where the test is reflecting high levels of hormones which are being made from a very rare womb cancer called choriocarcinoma. Anyone who persistently has positive test, and who is not obviously pregnant, should discuss the findings with her doctor as matter of urgency .
