An ovarian cyst that burst - could it cause a positive pregnancy test??

I had an extremly large ovarian cyst for the longest time, and I was 2 weeks late when I started bleeding, but not too heavy. I went in 2 days later and the doctors said I had miscarried, and they followed my levels back down to 0 .... okay so the thing is, my levels were only 27 the day I went to the hospital, and they couldn't have been higher than that, because a few days before I tested with HPT and they came back negative. I heard that Cysts carry the HCG hormone, so Im wondering if my cyst burst and that's why when i was suposed to be 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, my hcg level was only 27 - (as I stated a little bit ago, was taking hpts every 2 days since 5 days before my missed period, all negative, but suddenly when I bled for 2 days I got positives) - so I was just curious if that may have caused my positive tests??.....

Sweetheart. Having gone through the same experience I know a cyst can't cause HCG levels. The chances that you were pregnant are very possible. I to had very low HCG levels and my Dr went in to remove what he thought was an ectopic Pregnancy (Fetus outside the uterus) I was having pain so they went in to see. Turns out, it was 3 cysts, 1 of which burst and 2 others. After having them removed and drained my HCG levels skyrocketed.





From personal experience, Cysts have caused 2 miscarriages very early on. We almost lost a 3rd but thanks to some wonderfully, in tune Drs. Everything turned out well





I'm sorry. I hope you will be alright with this and make it through. Feel free to talk with other women about it. It's very healing!
Reply:no it won't.just have a recheck with your doctor
Reply:I think maybe you are hoping that is the reason for the positives, so that you don't have to grief for something you were wanting so badly. However, I am sad to say, that would not have caused your postives. I am sorry for your loss, and here's to hoping you get a bundle very soon.
