Im lisa,im sixteen, and have been with my boyfriend for a year now. I was supposed to start my period on the nineteenth but on the seventeenth i started spotting brown stuff. I spotted for like a week, and took a pregnancy test that turned out positive. i went to the doctor and theirs was negative. Ive taken two other tests and they were both positive, but none are very dark. All three of those were EPT. I took a first response one today and it was negative. So, idk. Im pregnant though right, or can the three tests be false? Ive been peeing every two hours, and have been having headaches everyday around 12 o clock. and ive gained weight. but im not sick or anything other than that. Idk.

It is extremely unlikely to have a false positive, but it can happen. It does kind of sound like you are pregnant, but I guess the only thing you can do is wait until your next period is due, and if it doesn't show up go and get a blood test done.
Let us know how everything works out!

Hmmm... it's unusual to have a false negative at the doctor's office, but it's still possible. Three false positives are HIGHLY unlikely... but you're just going to have to wait it out until your next period is due. I hate to tell you this... but some women have extremely early miscarriages, and the HPTs can still come out positive from the remaining HCG levels. 40 percent of pregnancies end is miscarriages, and 20 percent of those are before you even know you're pregnant. But you can never be sure.

Don't stress. Talk anytime. Good luck!

I think you should just go back to the Doctor and get a blood test. Best of luck. Jessica

having a miscarriage is something i am extremely worried about. I had one in february and one in may. YOud think i would know how to stop getting pregnant, but the first time i was on birth control, the second time i was so depressed about losing my first baby i wanted to get pregnant,(stupid, i know) and this time i used condoms. I was supposed to start my birth control when i started my period last month. ha.. All my tests were light, but obviously positive. I didnt cramp at all, which i always do, and ive cramped so bad i couldnt walk both times ive lost my babies. So, i know that hasnt happened yet. i am being very very careful right now. i was going to go to the health department friday but i whimped out. im afraid theyre going to tell my theirs is negative again and then ill feel really stupid. I think im just going to keep taking tests for another week. i need to know asap though so i can start taking prenatal vitamins and junk. Thank you for your help! : )

well, i wasnt very demanding at my doctors office. I just switched to her, and she was like, i sure hope you arent pregnant, and stuff like that, which made me feel like crap. So, i didnt ask for a blood test or anything. I really do need to call her, but im really nervous. I really do think i am. My stomach muscles are feeling funny and im hungry all the time, and my boobs hurt if i touch them, and i am extra emotional, and i dont like some of my favorite foods anymore. i dont know whats going on.! And plus ive had three obviously positive home tests. The last one i took was the darkest. They are all kind of light, but still obvious. I need to take a blood test, but i hate being made feel like im stupid, if you know what i mean. Sigh. I guess i will call my doc tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help
