How Accurate Is Hpt?
Posted: 01-29-05 14:12pm

Is it true that if you test really early, (like within a week), the hpt may not be really accurate? It will come out negive first, but positive later on?

I hate to say this but if you have a positive test then you are most likely pregnant. Go to the store and get a cheep hpt. Most people say that they dont work as well but if you get a positive result with one of those then you know you are pregnant.

yes this can be true. It all depends on your body and how early you are. Also it depends on your level of hormones as well the quanitive level has to be at a certain amount for some preg. Test to detect preg... Good luck hun I hope I answered you, but if it wasnt positive. I would wait to see if you get your period and if you dont re take a hpt. At that point

I had a false postive, but really its not false, the egg doesnt attatch to the wall so therefore you are pregnant for a little while. I was told by mr dr that is very rare to actually get a positive result from that. Also she said you cannot get a false problem unless you have a dud test or what happened to me. The most accurate way to see if your pregnant is blood test.
