Hi everyone,
I took a home pregnancy test today because I am late on my period and I just feel pregnant.Anyways,the test has the two boxes that if pregnant have a line in each if not pregnant there is only one line in one box.
I got a line in each box but the one that is supposed to tell you whether you are pregnant or not was horizontal instead of vertical like the instructions said.I'm just kind of curious whether that makes a difference or if maybe the test is defective?
I am on birth control and I take it religiously at the same time everyday.I missed one day so I took two the next day and refused to have sex for a week.My period has been extremely regular(I even know what time of the day it's going to show up!)so I'm kinda worried.
Any advice or answers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure that it was not supposed to show a plus sign if pregnant. That is how some brands are.

no I read the instructions...it was also the same test brand that I used when I found out I was pregnant with my son.
I took another one today and there was nothing in the window at all so I am hopeful that it will come out negative when I go see my doctor on Tuesday.
