Is it possible to get a false positive pregnancy test?

You want to know if it's possible to get false positive home pregnancy test results. And it is possible, but the chance of it happening is very very rare. When it has happened, the explanation has been traced back to a very unusual set of circumstances. One of those examples is the fact that the tracer or the marker in a home pregnancy test that detects HCG can be animal-based, and if a person has spent a lot of time with animals or with animal byproducts, their body might develop antibodies against that, and those antibodies are read as positive in the home pregnancy test result. In a few other cases, people have had a very severe E. coli infection in their blood, and that has caused it to be falsely positive. So again, these circumstances are very unusual, and false positives are very uncommon. If you see a positive pregnancy test result, then you're probably pregnant, and you should call your OB provider, make your first appointment, and go from there.

I got a very positive result on a first response this Saturday the 11th and then got negatives yesterday morning and today...also got a negative urine test at the hospital..haven’t done a blood test yet but I’m not sure why I would get a strongly positive test and then immediately negatives the two following days?

I was seen in the ER and was diagnosed with a UTI. Also got a positive blood pregnancy test.
I was given antibiotics and recommended to follow up with my OBGYN. Could this be a false positive?

I have pcos and corpus luteum cysts which I have been told is the cause of the positive tests
