Hey! pregnancy tests do not usually give false POSITIVE results as they test for a hormone you only get when pregnant, so you are 99.99999999% more likely to be pregnant, head to your doctor and get another test

hope you are happy with this result! lots of love and good luck for the future

Head to the doctor. You need to find out as soon as possible what is going on so you know what options you have.

Explain what you have done so far and he will be able to test you and let you know for definite. If you are not pregnant then talk to him about contraception, you can get an implant put in that will protect you for 3 years.

If you are then get onto your partner, and talk to him about whether you want to keep the baby or not. Talk to your uni about whether you could take a year off and if they have a crèche or a nursery.

Don't drop out of your degree, if you are pregnant then you will need it to be able to provide for the baby if you decide to keep it.

Good Luck!! xx

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Im not sure exactly, i was on the pill when my partner was home, but he went a way for 4 months, so doctor suggested having a break from it. Definately had at least one period since, but was very late, just put it down to having come off the pill.

Thanx for you advice xxxx

It depends on what brand you use i think. I know some brands claim they are 99% accurate, however i dont know how true that is. My mum always advised me to go to the doctors and have a blood test if i wanted to know if i was pregnant as that is the most reliable way to tell. However these days doctors actually do the pee in the cup method to test you. But if you tell them you have already tried one of those and you have doubts about how accurate it is, they will probably suggest a blood test to be sure. So yeah you should go to your doctor to ease your anxiety.

When was your last period? These tests are usually 99% accurate. Of course there can be mistakes though. I advise you to go to the doctor or get another test to do at home. Tell your partner what is going on.

Good luck..
