A false-positive result is considered when a second dim strip appears when using the test. This option is available in the following cases:
• when using an expired strip. In this case, it is recommended to try again during the day, but with a product from another manufacturer;
• when taking medications that provoke an increase in hCG;
• in the presence of tumor or other pathological processes affecting the pelvic organs;
• in case of untimely assessment of the indicator, for example, if a woman did not wait for time or, on the contrary, left a strip for a long time.
In any case, with a false positive or negative pregnancy test, it must be retaken during the day or the next day to make sure of pregnancy or its absence.
