ovarian cysts false positive pregnancy test

I have ovarian cysts and 2cm isn't that bad, but it also won't give you a false positive. My little ovaries are riddled with cysts, but the two times I've taken a pregnancy test and had them come back positive were because I was pregnant. Congratulations!

I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts last month and I was reading on the pregnancy instructions that if you have ovarian cysts then it can give a false positive. Have anyone had this before? I got a positive test but I'm scared it's a false positive.

Ectopic pregnancy, and sometimes ovarian cysts can cause a positive test. But i believe it's unlikely because I suffer from cysts. And I found out I was pregnant by being 8 days late and seen an obgyn and I'm definitely prego. But i also have a cyst on my ovaries.

You can have a false positive with ovarian cysts or menopause. But having a line fade away is still a positive test. No worries!

There is one kind of cyst that can give a positive pregnancy test, but it's really rare!! If you've taken tests before while having ovarian cysts and the result was negative, then I'm pretty positive you're positive!!

Does that mean they could cause a false positive or a false negative? Do ovarian cysts produce HCG? I thought they only produced progesterone? I am confused. I really hope my level doubles tomorrow..it is so hard to wait. By the way, I forgot to mention that I know that I have three cysts on each ovary which is why I am concerned with a false positive. Could a blood test for pregnancy be false too?

I have been having pretty bad pelvic pain the last few days. It comes and goes and it sharp. I was telling my mom about it last night and she suggest that I take a pregnancy test. I just took one and it was positive. My husband and I have been trying for some time so I am getting really excited. Now, I have been reading online that pelvic pain is a symptom of ovarian cysts and that ovarian cysts can make a pregnacy test positive even if the woman isn't pregnant.

Even a faint 1st line means a positive test result. Ovarian cysts can be triggered by a spike in hormones, usually during ovulation. However, not to scare you, ecoptic pregnancy pains closly resemble ovarian cyst pain in the beginning. Please go see your obgyn to test for pregnancy and tell them about your pain. Good luck!!

I was then told by my byn that i could have been pregnant and miscarried, therefore there were still hormones in my system that made the otc tests come out positive, but not enough to get a positive blood test... i am now experiencing a late period again and took 2 pregnancy tests both positive, i dont wanna go to my doctor and look like an idiot, so ive been reading about this... and i read that having cysts in your ovaries can give a false positive, is this true ?? and how accurate is this...

Any ovarian mass, will excrete a certain hormone that can sometimes cause a false positive pregnancy test. Ive dealt with them my entire life because i have endometriosis so if ut says negative, then ur not pregnant and u have nothing to sweat. So no a cyst cant cause a negative but can cause a positive even if u arent.

Yes, an ovarian cyst can cause a false positive. It says so on the pregnancy test instructions. I just went and bought one because af was due today, and is not here yet. Do you have an ovarian cyst? It says that is a rare condition though. Good luck sweetie. Did the nurse call you back yet?

At this stage you are only just due for your period the pregnancy hormones are not very strong and you can get a false negative or give a very faint positive. But, it for sure sounds like you are preggo becaus a positive is a positive. As far as the pain goes, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an ectopic pregnancy. When I first found out I was preggo with my son (4 months old now) I had the same scare. Pinching, stabbing pains on my side.

Ive been doing research and read that false positives can happen due to medical conditions or ovarian cysts? I sometimes worry that I may have cysts, but never had an ultrasound to check. Then other websites and other people say no way about false positives....please advise....I want to be excited but feel that I can't be!

The thing that kinda gets me is the ovarian cyst part.. I was looking up online what can trigger false positive results on a preg. test and it says cysts can but I looked more into it and it has to be a certain kind? So its kind of confusing. I'm planning to get things checked this weekend.

Ive taken about 6 home test and they all came back positive and when i went to the ER they did one and came back negative , what do you recommend i do?

Then they did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. They then checked my hcg levels (pregnancy horomone) and it was like 350. They couldn't see anyting on the u/s, so they said it's either too early to see anything or I'm miscarrying. Anyways, a friend of mine told me how her sister had a pregnancy test that was positive and turned out to be a cyst (a big one) which caused a false positive.

2 weeks after I spoke with the doctor on this, I was feeling ill, took a pregnancy test (5 days before my period) and it was positive ! I was thanking God and getting all excited, calling my mom.. etc.. until I read cysts can cause false positives,, anybody know how rare this is?? or am I getting too excited for nothing?

I have heard of women getting false negatives on home pregnancy tests in early pregnancy. But, usually as more time passes, the home pregnancy test has many less false negatives. The reason for so many false negatives in very early pregnancy is because it takes a certain amount of time to get high enough pregnancy hormones in urine and sometimes women conceived later than expected. This makes them not have enough hormone to register positive on a test as soon as expected.

A number of conditions, including endometriosis and ovarian cysts as well as some other benign conditions, can cause an elevated result (false positive).

I have taken a total of 3 pregnancy test, 2 came out positive(I took these first thing in the morning) the other one was negative(I took this one in the afternoon). This morning I woke up with some cramping, and spotting. I'm not sure if this is my period coming on or whats going on. I am going to the dr, but has this happened to anyone else?

And ive been having an almost constant body ach for two days along with a bad back pain,(in my upper back and its normally in my lower back) took a hpt today and it was BFN Not sure what to think though, i dont normally get sharp pains like this so part of me is worried my cysts came back, (I used to get hormonal ovarian cysts when i was younger)

via of Vaginal Ultrasound after false positive (pregnancy) I am 52,No family history,Tubal Lig. menopauseal. My gyno did ca125 and Endomentrial Biopsy yesterday and mammagram and abdom and pelvic CT today. In conversation he mentioned Complex Mass. Can you give me alittle info on these facts.Does my treatment seem to be going in the right direction.

If u read the small print on a pregnancy test it says that ovarian cysts can give a false positive..sorry if I scared you..

I am having some issues right now that I would like some help with please. On July 2nd I had my first positive pregnancy test. I was excited because I haven't had a period since April. I've had 9 positive test so far the last one being today. Obsessive I know but I'm not convinced. Anyway, I went to my ob yesterday for an appt since they weren't sure how far a long I was since I had a negative blood test the beginning of June.
