Must have been a false positive

I just got my blood work results back and my HCG is below 2. I've never heard of a false positive on a First Response Early detection but I guess it was! (It wasn't a chemical pregnancy.)


Oh well! My husband and I have been planning to start TTC in July. I was just thinking how disappointed I'd be if I had been TTC now and got this false BFP. So when it comes time to test again, I'm going to make sure that I use two different brands. I'll PIAC and use two tests at the same time. That will hopefully, error proof my results so I don't get really disappointed.


Thanks for everyone's help!

just wanted to add that i also got 2 false positives this week
with 'the dollar store tests'

pos on monday at 10dpo
then neg on tues,
i used my 3rd test and it was a pos.
(i had bought 2 at one store and 1 at a nother)
so i used an EQUATE and it was neg.

i googled the LOT #10267C36E
and it turns out that there are a number of others that have had this happen recently as well

i was so embarrassed calling my dr back the next day to cancel the apt.
trying to explain the problem.

good luck to you
