    Im no expert but it pretty much seems like your pregnant.I believe you can't actually get a wrong positive.

    If you leave the test with the urine in it to long you can actually get a false positive,

    Lolly I think you are pregnant, go to your doc have them do a blood test to measure your hcg levels and if they are rising as needed this will also to let you know if the pregnancy is viable.

    You may also want to schedule an ultrasound to see if the fetal heart tone can be heard as of yet.


    Good luck mommy to be

    Lolly you are not in the minority many women including myself have had miscarriages in the past, just because you have had a miscarriage in the past it does not mean you cannot carry a baby to term, don't worry too much I know this is very hard to do cause you are extremely hormonal now, but try to relax and talk to your doc about your prior loss. He may want to work out a regimn for you in this pregnancy.
    Good luck lolly

    I think lighterrr has already answered that question... To be on the safe side, see your doc, but since you already have an appointment...

    That's a pregnancy symptom.

    You've had two positive results. The test itself is pretty difficult to screw up. If you followed the directions and have gotten two positives, well, congratulations, you're pregnant.

    Time to see your doctor, have the pregnancy confirmed, start prenatal vitamins, drink lots of water, eat healthy and hope for the best.

    Whatever happens will happen, it's up to you to make the best of it by taking care of yourself and the life growing inside of you. Will you miscarry, no one knows, but one miscarriage doesn't meant a lifetime of miscarriages.

    Good luck.

    I also think you are pregnant. You have missed your period and took two tests that were positive. Pretty good chance you are.
    Congrats! :)

    My mom and aunts wore these things called sea bands around their wrists when they were pregnant to help with the sickness. I believe the original intention with the things was for motion sickness but they seemed to help with morning sickness anyway. Ginger is supposed to help with nausea too. Hope you feel better. Congrats on the baby.
