There is really no such thing as a false positive, though the pregnancy can be chemical which would give a positive and then a negative. Also, if the test is read after the time limit it may show positive, but it really isn't since it wasn't read following the directions of that particular test.

False positives are pretty rare. Take a test again in a day or two with first morning urine but I'd say Congrats!
