Is Pregnancy Confirmed By Two Positive Pregnancy Tests?

i have taken 3 early pregnancy tests. The first two were a faint positive and the third (taken this morning) was a full positive. Even though I am not supposed to start my period for a day or two would you say I was pregnant. When should I contact a doctor

Hallow Dear,

Pregnancy test on urine shows positive results after the missed period - usually after a week or so. If your test results are positive even before missing a period, it denotes the levels of hCG hormone are very high in your body. This happens when the pregnancy is not normal. This is a diagnostic feature of Hydatidiform mole or molar pregnancy. In this condition, the products of conception undergo either degeneration or neoplastic growth in the form of vesicles which appear like grapes. This pregnancy later on may land into bleeding emergencies. There are some chances of cancer formation from such molar pregnancy.

Beta hCG test, which is a quantitative test of hCG estimation will be useful in finding the evidence of molar pregnancy.

Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP.
