    Possibility of a false positive pregnancy test
    My last period ended on the 4th of June. All of last week I've had brown spotting, and just recently its started to appear redish. Mid last week I did a pregnancy test and it was possitive. Could there be a possibility the outcome of the pregnancy test was wrong?

    It could be, but a false negative is far more likely then a false positive. The odds that it was a false positive isn't high.

    Have you tried testing again, or get a blood test to confirm?

    Chances are you are pregnant. False positives are rare. Time to make an appointment with an OB.
