Can ovarian cyst cause a false positive pregnancy test?
Patient: My wifes LMP is 06/01/2010.Yesterday we did home pregnancy test morning and afternoon and both are positive.We went to appolo BGS.There they did blood test and routine urine test and transvaginal US.But they didnt test for HCG.US result is no gestational sac seen and cyst in rt Ovary.Dr ask us to take another Ultrasound next week.We are not satisfied with Dr's dcecsion.Just they want to make money out of us.Does home pregnancy test may get false?can we see G sac at this early time in US.Does the cyst is the reason for Positive Home Pregnancy test.Please advice. Doctor: Hi welcome to the health care magic I will solve your query and will give my opinion in this answer..... Let me explain you false positive urine card test causes...... _abortion history in last 6 week _Test not done as per kit insert _reading not taken in prescribed time in kit insert _expired kit _urine contamination with blood _trophoblastic tumour etc... I advise you to repeat urine card(at home)  or blood hcg estimation done (at hospital) I need to know USG done by Transvaginal route or transabdominal route?? Tvs sonography able to visualize gestational sac 5 week after LMP if conception occured And for Transabdominal time period is 6 week after LMP Urine card positive 5 week after LMP And remember USG confirmation needed to rule out pregnancy Hope I have solved your query Take care
