Got a positive pregnancy test, but also have a large ovarian cyst that the Mayo Clinic site could make it be positive when it’s not?

I live in a state where abortion is legal until 18 weeks so let’s pray I’m before then

    Go to the hospital and get a blood test to verify!

    I believe it’s rare and only with blood tests. A cyst wouldn’t affect a urine pregnancy test.

    Schedule a doctor’s appointment. The hospital will be more expensive than being seen in a clinic.

    Most ovarian cysts don’t give you false positives, as most are just fluid. If your cyst is a thecal cyst, which are rare, or if it’s a teratoma, then it’s a different story.

    You are most likely pregnant.

    Regardless of whether that’s good or bad news (and given abortion is legal until late in your case), the next step should be visiting a healthcare provider who can do an ultrasound to confirm a pregnancy, confirm if it’s in your uterus, and make some choices from there.
