How To Confirm If Pregnancy Test Result Is False Positive?
I took almost two weeks ago the morning after pill because the condom broke.Yesterday I did just one test because I was feeling nautious and had stomache. It was positive. Could I be pregnant or could it be a false positive? Should I try another test?

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. If you tested positive with a standard test kit, you need not repeat the pregnancy test. Instead, see a specialist for a proper clinical evaluation and go for a sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route, to confirm the gestation sac, the location, the age and the viability. Emergency contraceptive pill offers 85-98 percent protection depending on the time duration elapsed after unprotected intercourse. Please plan further management after review. Hope this helps.
