I have been using the off the shelf tests! I have a feeling that the tests are lieing to me, I feel like I am prego but I guess I will have to just go to the doc and find out! I used a clear test and I peed on the stick, it didnt do anything it was a faulty one. I dont trust those store tests

Yea, I bought them because I thought they were suppose to be pretty accurate and also because it came with 5 tests instead of 2 like Early Response. Lol, I never thought trying to figure out if your preggo or not could be so difficult...

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for responding...it's always good to hear different opinions. Congratulations by the way! Wink How far along were you when you found out? I've had a scare or two myself, so now if and when I test it turns out negative, I like to take it that I'm not pregnant. I mean, if it ever comes to a point where my period is more than a week late(which has never happen), then and only then will I know for sure something is definitely up! I think right now, I'm just going through something else that seems to be giving off pregnancy like symptoms.

Lol, well I'm actually not. I'm definitely a worry wort. I had a scare this past summer and we totally thought I was. Mind you at that time, that's when my mom told me to get a blood test...that's when I got treated like a was a lunatic. ;( So recently( once again I'm worrying) I decided to just test and clear my mind. Then I read reviews on these test and I was curious.
Really though, we want to wait a few years before we have kids so we can enjoy our time together now.

Sometimes the tests that claim they can provide early detection provide plenty of false negatives b/c the body is not producing much hcg(human chorionic gonadotropin) yet b/c it's so early on. The test detects the presence of hcg. A common reason for a false positive is reading the test later than the instructions say to. Hope that helps.

Yes, thank you.Smile That's why I bought this brand because it had 5 tests, I figured I could test a couple of times to make sure and still have a couple left over for a rainy day.


I also wanted to apologize for posting this topic in two different forums. I wasn't sure which one to put it in and figured I'd delete the other once I got a response from someone, but turns out I had gotten responses on both at the same time and could no longer delete it.
