Hi Doctor,
I'm here to ask for a clarification....
Last month I had many many pregnancy symptoms which included: painful/sore breasts, tingly nipples, prominent blue veins across my breasts, nausea, food aversions, frequent urination and spotting about 4 days before my expected period. Once my period was late I took 3 home pregnancy tests, all different brands one being a digital test and all three were very distinct positives. Therefore I made an appointment with my GP, who then ordered a blood test- which came back as <1 meaning negative.... Then about a week later I had a very unusually period, it was more intense cramping then normal and had a lot more clots then I'm use too. A couple of the clots happened to be fairly large in size and the bleeding lasted longer than normal.. almost doubled a "normal" cycle. My periods normally last 3 days and this bleeding lasted 7 days.
So I wanted to know what would cause 3 false positive tests... or is it possible I experienced a chemical p

Dear Practo user,
Home Pregnancy tests were likely have been correct. Though usually blood test is more reliable, rarely it can go wrong. Other possibility is likelihood of mixing of samples. From history, it appears to be a case of abortion.
