Lulu100 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm on the pill but haven't gotten my period yet. I didnt think I was pregnant, but took a pregnancy test anyway just so I could rule it out. But it turned out to be positive. So over a period of 3 days, I took 10 different tests from different brands and they all came up positive. I'm extremely bad at following directions so it's a possibility that I didn't pee on the stick correctly or something. I'm hoping that false positives are a thing but after taking 10 tests, I'm assuming it's safe to conclude I'm pregnant? I did call my doctor and made an appointment to confirm either way. But would love to hear from someone more experienced in the meanwhile. I'm freaking out a little bit because I took the pill religiously so I'm in denial that pregnancy could be a possibility.

Seraphim Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You're pregnant. You are not going to get 10 false positives . Link to comment
Seraphim Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 False positives are not common. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's kind of laughable that 10 positives would make you even humor the idea that they are false positives. I believe they are 99% accurate? So the chance of 10 false positives exists but it's (0.01)^10 which is 0.00000001% odds. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 One question, OP - any medications? Some antibiotics counteract the benefit of the Pill. And apparently some drugs can increase the odds of a false positive (but that's worth asking a doctor) Link to comment
Lulu100 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Lol! I know but I'm holding onto any slight chance that I can get. It's just extremely unexpected and a bit of a shock. Link to comment
Lulu100 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 No, no meds other than the pill. Not even vitamins. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Well, did you have unprotected sex? They say, taken perfectly, the pill is like 97% effective, but the way most women take it, it's closer to 90. Do you ever miss pills? Forget and take it the next morning? Or do you take it at the same time, every day? And I mean every day. Link to comment
Lulu100 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 i definitely took them everyday but not always at the same exact time. I might have been off by an hour or so a few times though. That's probably what did it??? Ugh. Link to comment
MissCanuck Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You're pregnant. It's time to call your doctor and get the official confirmation. Link to comment
Snny Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 No, no meds other than the pill. Not even vitamins. Start taking the vitamins now. They are so critical when you got a baby. Link to comment
Dahl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Start taking the vitamins now. They are so critical when you got a baby. Absolutely critical, and please make sure that they include the correct amount of folic acid, as well. Good luck. Link to comment
