False Positive??
Posted: 09-25-04 13:04pm

Well I was just sitting here thinking about this and I couldn't seem to stop thinking about it.. If anyone has ever been in my position I hope they kno how it feels! I asked my sister to take me to the store to get a hpt and I got two.. I took the first which has come out positive and I was so scared! My sister told me to take the other, and it is negative.. Is there such thing as a false positive??? I dont understand why they came out differently?? Is it too early to tell, i'm about 9 days late..

How soon after did you take the second one?
Your urine for testing should have been in your bladder for at least 4 hours or it may not contain enough pregnancy hormone.
False positives are very uncommon, false negatives are very common.
If you took the second one right away I would doubt it's accuracy and also if you had drank a large quantity it may have been that your urine was too weak.
Either take another test but be sure to wait long enough before peeing, or make a doctors appt.

So Complicated
Posted: 09-25-04 13:18pm

Thanks.. Jeeze I had no idea there could be so many complications with taking a pregnancy test.. No I waited about 1.5 hrs.. I want to be sure so I think even if I take another hpt I will still be wondering no matter the result, so I should maybe just go to the doctors?.. Does anyone have any advice on how to tell my child's father if I am pregnant?? I dont think he will take it well..

I wouldnt say anything just hand him the pregnancy test..Planned parenthood has free pregnancy tests but blood tests are always the best!

Go to the dollars store and buy some more. Remember...Morning urine is the best...So then youll know for sure.
Just go to the doctor and get it confirmed if you are really worried about it.
