Could Home Pregnancy Tests Show False Positive Because Of High HCG Levels Produced By The Body?
I have taken three home pregnancy tests and they all three have came up positive with the line being faint consecutively. Although I have taken the tests in the evening time. And I just had my period last week or at least i thought it was my period, but its irregular anyways. Could my body be producing too much hcG to have the test show positive? Should I go to the doctor or wait? Should I take a test in the morning to see the outcome?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Positive home pregnancy tests denotes hCG in body either produced due to pregnancy or any tumor. Its very rare for home pregnancy test to come false positive. Period can come & pregnancy test can be positive in case of ectopic pregnancy OR any tumor. Kindly consult doctor as early as possible.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
