False Positive??

I had a faint positive line on a pregnancy test this morning and was a few days late on my period and also had other symptoms like sickness and dizzyness headaches etc but now it seems like I have come on my period. Is this normal to get a false positive??

Intralipids

After 3 failed embryo transfers I had my NK cells tested and they were very high. Yesterday I had my first intralipid infusion pre FET. It went fine although I felt very tired afterwards. Has anyone else gone down this path and how did you find it?
