PG or Ovarian Cyst? Help!

Okay..looking for advice here.

Have been having cramps for the last two months, with and without my period. Ie..cramps all month long. Have taken numerous hpts and only ONE brand shows me a positive result. All the rest show negative. The result I got the + (faint mind you, but seemingly ever time!) with (got a faint + tonight again!) can occasionally detect ovarian cysts..( I had one about 7 years ago) do you think that's what it is? I can't figure out why I'd get a positive over and over with just one brand of pregnancy test?! Quite confusing! I guess I SHOULD call the doctor, but I'm just confused and looking for advice!

Megs...

it sounds to me like you could be preg!

often tests detect diff levels of hCG. The one you keep returning a positive on probably detects a lot less hCG than others do. (eg- if one test detects 20mL and one detects 25mL and you have 22mL- one will say +, one will say -!!!)

your cramping sounds like an early preg symptom, go to the docs- i hope it turns out exactly the way you want it to!

It's called Exact Brand..and I think its canadian. I think Exact puts out several products. I know it also distibutes vitamins.

I even did a little "experiment" to see if the test had evap lines or false +s...I used regular tap water on the second test ( two to a box) and nothing. Notta .....

Soo....I don't know. Its a cheaper brand than Confirm, and Confirm gave me a negative! Go figure!
