Sometimes a Corpus Luteum (filled with blood or fluid) can form a Cyst & is mistaken by pregnancy too and it shows false positive pregnancy test. This Cyst disintegrate by the time too or sometimes it starts growing and is mistaken for a Pregnancy. Because the corpus luteum contains hCG, it is possible that a pregnancy test will detect the presence of this hormone as being positive for pregnancy. Might be your cousin faced it and the cyst brokedown by its own and is now disappeared from her body.

Wish her best of luck for her future Pregnancy

Queen I have never heard of corpus luteum containing/secreting hcg. Yes it secretes progesterone and estrogen to facilitate pregnancy but i have never heard of it producing hcg and giving false positives.

The corpus luteum is what’s left of the follicle after the women ovulates. The “luteal phase” is the second part of menstruation. It only last for 12-14 days unless it receives hcg from a developing embryo. The embryo is the one that releases the hcg and tells the corpus luteum it needs to keep producing progesterone to support the developing fetus.

What is the corpus luteum?

A cyst formed around a collapsed follicle will not trigger hcg unless there is a fertilized egg/embryo.

Nadz’ cousin’s situation sounds like an early/chemical miscarriage
