    I had a very faint positive last month and late AF, I figured it was a false positive. I agree with waiting a few days and test again. After that, perhaps book a GP appointment and expain what's been happening with the tests.

    Hi,

    how confusion for you. I have had a similar thing happen and was pregnant all along. I began testing really early and had a positive then a negative... then a few days later a postive... when i asked a few people the rationale that made most sense to me was that being so early on in the pregnancy the level of hcg was very small. because of this any little thing could affect the level present in my urine at the time I tested... eg...drank a little too much (not alcohol..lol...just extra fluid to dilute the urine... , didn't allow hcg to build up enough in the urine( going to the toilet too often then still tryign to test), and a whole lot of other very simple things... it is highly unlikely that tests give false positives as the nature in how they work is the line comes up when the certain hormone is present. it can't just show up without the hormone being there... even for a short time...

    I have my fingers and toes crossed for you that you will get your positive again and that the tests will continue to show positive results....

    Hope yoru gp has come good news for you!

    I have had this happen with Discover one step - and it was awful... Big hugs my love.
    I hope that you get that BFP soon...

    Just want to add - a chemical pregnancy is not when the fertilised egg doesn't implant. A woman's body will not produce HCG unless the fertilised egg has implanted. A chemical pregnancy is when the pregnancy does not develop properly - and it is a very early loss usually prior to 6 ish weeks. Just wanted to clarify that...
