Possibility of a False Positive?

So I had my prenatal paternity test done in August and I obtained the much desired he can't ve excluded as the father result. Now that I am getting closer to my due date of March 11, 2016 I am very nervous the results were incorrect. Is there any possibility that I had a false positive or is it more common to get an exclusion than an inclusion? I am really worried because my bf is really really dark and I recall my one night stand was not dark at all. My bf is always saying his babies should be dark(brown) and I am not dark so I am kind of worried about my children looking so different from him. I did my test through a lab that does testing through ddc and my results have the ddc logo on them. When i called the number on Ddc's website they told me that they could not do a prenatal blood paternity test because I am carrying twins AND I could be pregnant by two men. I dont care if I am pregnant by two men what I care to know is that I am actually carrying my partners baby. So I shoppped around by calling numbers on natera's collection sites and found a reliable lab that said that it would not matter if I am carrying twins because the dna would be in the blood no matter what. Can someone give me their opinion or experience if possible?

...when they are born...and the n i got nervous because what if the test come out he is not the father. In my mind i plan to test if i find no similarity whatsoever in the babies with him. Then i think of whats the point if the other person in question was a one night stand and i dont even have his name and way to locate him and do not want to. It would just cause more misery to me for the rest of my life. I just hope ddc/natera are right...i will update in this forum with my findings when my babies are born.

We did the test together and he had the results in his hands. Yet he stil doubts they are his because of the way it happened and because I am good at desktop publishing he thinks i created the results to show he is the father. We talk about this constantly. Every week. Plus I doubt the results too because it doesnt make sense to me how I got pregnant either. Then just last night we were at a cookout and his friend was aaying that when his wife then gf got pregnant he doubted they were his because he was told he could not have children....when the child was born he did three paternity test and they all came out he was the dad. Then my bf was asking more details as if trying to say that he is going to do the same when they are born

oh okay I see that makes sense but I have read your story and it seems too me like ddc got it right , the way it could be incorrect is if the condom broke failed but you said u guys checked and it all looked okay. And with your bf there is a chance he didn't pull out in time the odds point more too him regardless. I know we can't all help but stress.. Yess please do come back and update,Im due in 4weeks from nowso i will be letting u all know as well. Hopefully the girls on this forum update as well. When r u due??

Im really nervous because we are going to move in with each other next month. I am telling him my family does not look alike because we do not and that our babies can have blond hair and green eyes :):) so maybe appearance wont be an issue but i hope test results are right.

Not sure if I read this correctly but didn't your bf do the test with you and it showed he was the father ,you said u two would do the test just too show him would your bf still question it after zhowin
*Showing he is the father.
Ethier way I truly think you have nothing too worry about even though I think we all or worrying . Im due in 4 weeks and I worry my results may not be right but everything does add up too ddc results and so far from the stories I read DDC picked the guy we all most likely thought too be the dad in each situation that gives a little hope and mind ease .
