Can Home Pregnancy Tests Show False Results ?

hello, i took three urine pregnancy tests...two last night, and one this morning. ALL three of them came back positive. but when i went to the hospital this afternoon because i was having cramps in my lower abdomen, the urine test the doc gave me came back negative, but positive for a uti. i am three days late for my period. and i want to know whats going on. then to make matters worse, after leaving the hospital, i went and brought another test, and of course, it came back positive.

hi,

Home pregnancy tests can give false results.

If you are having contradictory results then go for a blood beta HCG test and a sonography.

They will confirm the findings.
