What Causes A Positive Pregnancy Test Without Missing A Period?

my name is vikki and i recently had a baby on october 28th 2010 i recently took a home pregnancy test on february 17th and it came back positive. I went through my calendar and seen that my last period was on the 24th of january which means i am not expecting my period till about the 24th or 25th of february. is there any chance that i could of got a false positive due to the circumstances or is it more than likely that i am pregnant again?

Hi,
Thanks for the query I understand youe concern.
There are two possibilities.
-Mostly it's rare to conceive after delivery... specially when you are breast feeding.
At the same time spontaneous ovulation can occur.. if you are not/irregularly feeding your baby
-At the same time false +ve pregnancy test is also possible with Contaminated urine sample or contaminated cointener in which urine was collected
*Better way to repeat the test with careful collection of sample in sterrile container... for confirmed result.
Thanks.
