Answer
Hello Catrin,

I just found your question in the question pool at ALLEXPERTS.com
Evidently the person you asked your question to was not able to answer for some reason. That is why I am going to answer your question that I found in the pool. I realize that it's been a while since you posted this question but would still like to advise you if possible. Yes, sometimes you get a positive pregnancy test even at this point. I would recommend that you take a another test. You can find a pregnancy resource center at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. They will give you a free test and help/advice.
Let me know what happens. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and give me an update.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
