Could It Be A False Positive For Pregnancy If HCG Showed Weak Positive And My LMP Was 16 Days Ago?
I had a HCG (qual) test done today and the results came back Positive weakly. My LMP was 6/23/13 which means I had my period 16 days ago. I was thinking that I was ovulating and there is no way I could be pregnant. Is this possible. Could it be a mistake. Also am I risk for a tumor??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern in my opinion the best test to confirm the pregnancy is ultrasonography test this gives very accurate result no chance for mistake while the HcG test is not that much reliable because it gives false positive and negative result, if go for ultrasonography test this would clear your other doubts too, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
