I used clearblue, and the instructions say 5 seconds....

I am trying to remember from having taken a previous ept brand test, if the 5-second rule was for the "stream" method and the "dip" method was 20, or the other way around. I do recall that one method was longer than that 5-second interval.

Thanks for the reply ... This is so nerve-wracking and I do not have anybody to go through this with.

Sweetie, dip it in the urine for 20 seconds. You're supposed to keep it in the stream for 5 seconds, and dip for 20.

Now take that test and let us know what the results are. Good luck!

Thank you! I am running off right now to go do that. Thanks, both of you, for the help.

So what are the results???????

Well my instructions say 5 secons for both methods.....

But ya...How did it come out....And what result were u hoping for???

Result was negative, third time to be negative, actually. But no period since november 16!

Well sometimes a women doesn't produce enough pregnancy hormone to have a positive home preg. Test. If you still suspect you are I would go to your doctor and get a blood test. Good luck, and keep us updated!
