HI,
- Yes, infected urine with protein in it is altered chemically, & it can give false +ve
home pregnancy test.
- You should go for -
* An internal examination by a Gynecologist/Pelvic USG will help for pin pointing the diagnosis ( as it's already >3 months )
* If you are still breast feeding & have irregular menses, Blood HCG testing will diagnose as small as 1.25 months of pregnancy.
Thanks
