I have a baby boy that is nearly 4 months old. I did have a period last month, January 18th start date. I missed this month and was about to go ahead and start birth control, but thought better take a pregnancy test to be sure. They have all come back positive.
So, I am just curious if I could get a false positive after giving birth back in November of 2008.

My friend is giving me parenting advice non stop because she’s been reading a parenting book written by a Nun (of all people to talk about being a parent) and she isn’t even a mom herself! I have a 2 year old who is just like every other 2 year old. She doesn’t want to eat, she throws fits etc.. But anyone will tell you that I’m a great mom and that my daughter is happy and a sweetheart. I’m sick of being told ” Don’t feed her this, don’t ever do that.. don’t punish ever!” I keep thinking “Just wait until theres a dirty diaper smeared across your kitchen wall or your kid is having a tantrum in the store and you are forced to leave” I would never ever spank my daughter but my friend is going so far as to tell me never to even give time outs. Who is she to give me this advice? She’s been married for barely a year and has no idea what parenting is like. She’s driving me nuts!!!

i think it’s just silly. people need to get their own ideas about parenting. it is a constant effort, you try different things and learn what you like and dont like by your own experiences. i dont understand why some people parent by things they read in books. is it that they dont have a mind for themselves?

If I gave birth to my daughter on August 24th and I take a pregnancy test today or tomorrow morning would it still show positive? Typically how long does it take to get all the pregnancy hormones out of your system? Im not breast feeding and havent been bleeding since my second week post partum. Thanks in advance for your answers.
