Q: Hpt Turning Pos. After Time
asked by: caracook on February 1st, 2004

Why does an hpt turn pos. After a certain time? I know it doesn't mean i'm pregnant... I'm just wondering why after like days or weeks it turns pos. What makes it do that?

???
I don't have any idea? I have always just pitched mine like an hour later so I don't ever see that...

That is very interesting though...

Evaporation Line
Your hpt can look positive when you try to read it past the allowed time because there may be an evaporation line. The urine goes past the windows and picks up the pink or blue dye that makes the lines pink or blue when it detects hcg in your urine. It can dry and leave faint lines where there would be lines normally. Whatever you do don't read an old test. Smile

Sparkletots is right, u should never read an old test.

Just out of curiosity how long did wait and check the test and get a false positive.

Oh and has af showed up yet

I know not to read the test after so long. I just wondered why. I found a test from a week or so ago. It's just weird because none of the other brands that I had did that. I tested today and got a bfn. I'm due for af 2/4.

And why do pos. Only stay pos. For up to 48 hours but you can get a false pos. After you read the test past the time you should wait?

I just know on the box it says they only stay pos. For 48 hours. I wish I would just get a pos. Right away! Crying or Very sad i'm hoping that I don't get af tomorrow... I'm really not stressing so if I don't get af by 2/6 i'll know something's up. I'm such a nerd... I've got my names picked out. Haha. I guess it's not too weird since a lot of women think about it before they even start having sex. Laughing
