Can 3 hpts be false positive?

Q : hi, i had a miscarriage 10 weeks ago and havent had a period since. (i confirmed with blood test 3 weeks after that the pregnancy had ended.) i had a blood test done on the 18th feb and it was negative for pregnancy so i went home and was to wait 2 months for period and doc would repeat tests if still no period, but on the 24th i did a home pregnancy test and it was positive, then again the following morning so my doc asked for another blood test to be done. i also did another test today (1st march) and it was positive again, but the nurse mentioned when i had my blood test today that the dr thought i had a false positive, surely 3 tests cant be false can they?

Basal Body Temperature

Basal body temperature is your body’s temperature prior to rising from bed and after having rested for a minimum of three hours. This can vary slightly from one woman to another. Increasing levels in the hormone progesterone result in a slight increase in body temperature of approximately 0.2 C degrees Celsius following ovulation. This increase may be smaller of greater and can be seen as either a sudden increase or a more gradual climb over several days. An increase in body temperature does not predict ovulation but rather signals that ovulation has already occurred. Once your body temperature peaks and remains at this higher level for three days you can conclude that ovulation has occurred. This temperature increase continues throughout your cycle until immediately prior to the onset of menstruation when it will dip slightly, however if you are pregnant your temperature will remain elevated.

The Basal Body Temperature method involves measuring your body temperature each morning prior to rising, plotting these temperature readings on a chart and examining the resulting patterns. As you see changes from month to month you will gradually build up an overall picture of your fertility pattern. By including other fertility indicators with your charting this should provide you with an even more detailed understanding of your menstrual cycle and fertility patterns.


Obtaining a thermometer

A digital basal body temperature thermometer or an accurate digital thermometer is recommended as these are easier to read and will 'beep' to let you know when your temperature has been accurately recorded. You should use the same thermometer throughout a cycle.

There are a number of manufacturers that produce thermometers especially suited for charting basal body temperatures. Typically these have a finer range, increased sensitivity measuring up to 1/100th of a degree and specialised memory features.

Taking your temperature

Prior to going to bed in the evening leave your thermometer within arm's reach of your bedside. As soon as you wake up (and before doing anything else) take your temperature according to the directions given with your particular thermometer.

You can take your temperature orally, vaginally or rectally so long as you take in same place for the duration of your cycle. You should take your temperature as close as possible to the same time each day, as your temperature can vary with time (0.1 C per hour)

Male Infertility

When couples are having difficulties becoming pregnant, it is generally the female who will seek treatment first. This is probably due, at least in part, to enduring stereotypes surrounding the woman’s responsibility in conception. However, the statistics show that men are the infertile partners in 40-50% of couples unable to get pregnant. There are many factors influencing male fertility, including lifestyle and family history.

This is not meant to be discouraging, but instead to enlighten you to the many possibilities available to infertile men wishing to seek treatment. Many of the same medical treatments available to women, such as assisted reproductive technologies, surgery and fertility drugs are also offered to men.

And while some men may try to disguise their embarrassment to shield their pride, it is important that men learn how to come to grips with their infertility so that they can seek treatment. Indeed, less than half of all infertile men are totally sterile, so the chances of being able to reproduce, given proper treatment, are quite high. For example, men who are experiencing impotence will be happy to know that there are many treatments available, especially now that open discussion around erectile disfunction is becoming more and more common.

While female fertility, and specifically, the female biological clock, has long been thought to be the factor contributing to a couple's infertility, a new study has found that a male biological clock does indeed exist. Learn more about the link between male fertility and age, and also what types of male infertility treatment can help to minimize the effects of age on male fertility.

Hormones play an integral role in maintaining healthy male fertility. However, a low testosterone level may indicate a fertility problem known as hypogonadism, which may adversely affect reproductive functioning. Varicocele is another common cause of male infertility, but it can normally be treated effectively to improve fertility..

Additionally, you may be surprised to learn that the immune system can have an effect on male fertility through antisperm antibodies.
