False positives?

[shouldiworry1323]

Hi all. 28 y/o female, have been trying to get pregnant since this past June. LMP was around 1-13-14, and my cycle is usually 23-26 days. On this past monday, the 10th, I took a test and it came up 2 lines positive, not even a faint line, it was the same color as the control line, and it came up right away. Within the past few days, I have also taken a dollar store brand, 2 first response early response, and one clear blue advanced digital week predictor. All positive, all dark lines not faint, and all came up right away. The clear blue said pregnant 2-3 weeks. The only way I feel "different" is that I have been pretty tired easily, and my nose is running constantly like my allergies are acting up and that never happens for me, but no sore breasts or anything. This would be our first pregnancy.

My question is: how likely are false positives? I guess I am having a hard time believing we actually are. My appt isnt until the 24th and I dont want to be a nervous wreck till then! Ive been doing research and read that false positives can happen due to medical conditions or ovarian cysts? I sometimes worry that I may have cysts, but never had an ultrasound to check. Then other websites and other people say no way about false positives....please advise....I want to be excited but feel that I can't be!

Hi im 11dpo and did a test 8dpo which was negative. Yesterday and this morning i sat up and creamy/milky runny discharge came down. Plus ive noticed for last couple of days ive had a dull(not pain)ache on right lower right side of stomache. When im ovulating the pain is so painful. But havent had that plus i usually get pre-menstrual pains a week before my period(im due on next week) and havent had that...can i be pregnant or is it phantom pregnancy signs...please help

Hi!'
If you were my patient, I would advise you that there are very few things that can cause a false positive.  You are most likely pregnant! If you want, you could have your doctor do a blood test for confirmation.
Good luck!
