Hi all,

So a very quick recap. My wife was told a couple months ago that she was suffering from 'Premature Ovarian Failure'. She is 31 years of age.

Last couple weeks her breasts have been aching and tender and she last had a period on Apr 19th. (They are usually light and irregular anyways so didnt think much of it)

But on Sunday she took a preg test and it came back positive. So we then went and bought another 3 lots of different brands and they were all positive!

Doc sent her to hospital to have an hCG blood test, but when we rang the docs this morning the secretary said it came back as 'Lab test error. Unable to perform hCG test'.

Naturally we are gutted as we were hoping for some kind of confirmation so the earliest time for her next test will be Fri or Monday even. So next week we could know! Stessfull or what!!

So my question is has anyone had this lab test error before? And what does it mean??

If it was a negative result or low hCG levels would that come back as test error or would they simply say this is your level so not likely your pregnant??

Forgot to also say she has been spotting last couple days which does worry us a bit as its about her usual period date.

Any advice much appreciated!!
