There are very few reasons for a positive pregnancy test 1) you are pregnant 2) you've had medication that has the HCG hormone in it (infertility drugs normally) 3) you read the test after the time allowed in the instructions so now the result doesn't count 4) chemical pregnancy (results in early miscarriage) 5) an HCG producing tumor.. very rare having an irregular cycle won't make you have a positive test when you are not pregnant, most likely you are indeed pregnant ~pawsalmighty

What is the meaning of a substance testing positive or negative for that nutrient?

A test coming out positive means that the test found whatever it was looking for. A test coming out negative means it didn't find anything. Like a pregnancy test coming out positive means a good chance of the person tested being pregnant. Negative means there are no signs of pregnancy in the tested substance.

Why is Down syndrome not always correctly detected in pregnancy tests?

Pregnancy screenings for Down syndrome have a 5-8% false positive rate (test comes back positive, but the baby does not have Down syndrome) and a 35-40% false negative rate (test is negative, but baby has Down syndrome). This is due to a number of different factors that the screening depends on, such as the mother's age and weight, the age of the fetus, etc. Since the tests results come back as risk factors- the chance that the baby will have Down syndrome, for example 1 out of 270- and there is usually an arbitrary cutoff, such as 1 in 250, where the test counts as a "positive", this is why sometimes it is not correct. The "positive" or "negative" depends on chance, and obviously a high chance the fetus has Down syndrome does not necessarily mean it does have it.

Can two parents with b positive make o positive?

Yes. The child will be either A positive or B positive or even AB positive. If the grandparents have a negative (A negative, B negative), there is a slight chance that the child will have a negative. A type O is out of the question. The fact that there are two positive parents means that there is no risk to the mother of Rh negative disorders.
