False positives and endometriosis

Hey everyone I wondered if anyone has experienced multiple false positives? We started ttc at the start of this year. I have endometriosis and have experienced multiple false positives (across different brands) I had another last week (positive) and did a digital clearblue today and it was negative (AF Is due tomorrow). I don’t know if my endometriosis has any effect on it or I’m just super unlucky as I know they are rare?

I don't think the Endo would cause a false positive, as Hcg isn't produced by the endometrium. What do the false positives look like? Are they evaps or indents? Are you looking outside the testing window?

@Charley that’s what I thought but was completely unsure! This is what they look like (photo below) I’m looking straight after I set a timer so I would say in the testing window!

And do they stay positive for a little while then turn negative, or are you getting negatives the same day/next day? Could it be chemical pregnancies? Multiple false positives on multiple brands when you're looking within the time frame is basically impossible.

@Charley they stay positive and then go negative! That’s what I was thinking also to get them across multiple is so bizarre!

I have stage 3 endometriosis and as a result I would get positives followed by negatives and a period, unfortunately with endo you tend to have quite a lot of chemical pregnancies xxx

@Vish I’m so sorry to hear that! I have stage 4. It’s just rubbish isn’t it! That’s interesting to know thank you for sharing!

I'm sorry to say it sounds like chemical pregnancies then, where the embryo is implanting and beginning to grow enough to release HCG and then not managing to stick around for much longer.
