Ok so I have been sexualy active with my
husband quite often since he came home
from a deployment. I am late on my period
by 3 weeks and went and got a home
pregnancy test, the first one came up
negitive and then still not having my
period i took two more and both of them
came up positive. I am not sure which one
I should believe I mean is there such
thing as a false positive when I am not on
birth control or taking any meds and
followed the directions correctly?

i called a friend of mine who is a
registered nurse and she told me that if
im not on birth control and not on any
medication that it it more an accurate
positive then false due to when i tested
the first time some thing about not having
enough HCG levels to be detected or
something?

yea..although tests look for HCG
some will only say positive if there is
a certain amount...even if you are preg or
not..
weird..atleast i think so

If it was a cheapy test then it is likely
to detect larger than normal (what may
already be in your body) amounts of HCG
than the ones that say you can take only a
couple of days after conception. I would
say it is a positive! But get a blood test
to make sure

How long did you wait after you got a
negitive to take the other two tests? All
of my tests showed up positive the further
along I got the more they showed up. I
would have to say there are more false
negitives than positives.

Yes. These cramps are usually normal. If
you start having any bleeding though
you'll need to contact your doctor. I had
cramps throughout my entire pergnancy.

Yep I had some the first couple months
with my daughter. My mother in law says
she had cramps while pregnant with my
husband the whole pregnancy. Like said
above if you start spotting or bleeding go
in ASAP. And if the pain is getting to be
to much go in and talk to your dr. They
will tell you ways to help the discomfort.
Continue to take care of yourself!!

I was told to take Tylenol for the cramps
and headaches but that doesn't seem to be
working. They also told me a hotbath but
then told me that if it was to hot you
could hurt the baby. I am starting to
think being pregnant is going to be very
complicated
