Pregnancy Test Confusion
Posted: 03-27-06 01:44am

Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for a year. And, it has been very hard for us to conceive. We have tried different things to increase our chances. We have went through alot of pregnancy test and still nothing. It's always the same negative signs. Well lately I have been feeling cramps, getting very tired, having the feelings of getting sick. So I took the same brand of pregnancy test I have always taken and the results were different. It's a + or - test. Well the + is supposed to be on the left side and _on right. Well, instead my test was - on left and +on right. The positive sign was very very darker than the other fainted looking line on the left. So, I bought another one and it was the same exact thing again. Could I be pregnant or what could it be?

Were you holding the test upside down??? Lol!!! I couldn't resist...But stranger things have happened. However...It would be very odd for two tests to have the results show in the wrong window. I would look at the instructions again to make sure:
a) you were holding the test the right way (usually with results to the right and the end you pee on...On the left).
B) you read and followed the instructions properly (maybe you thought the result window was the control window and the other way around).
It sounds as though you did have a positive result. I would do one of two things...I would either buy a different brand of test to compare results or I would call the manufacturer of the test you took to see what they think.

Hope this helps! Best of luck!

I did what the instructions said to do the second time. But the first time I didn't do it exactly right. But it was still the same results. I mae a doctors appointment for april 12 but I can't wait that long. I might go buy a different brand. And, hopefully it will show the results how it's supposed.

.Get one of the digital tests that reads either "pregnant" or "not pregnant." and follow the directions exactly.

The ones that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" I think you can buy the pee sticks and insert them into the handel that reads the results. This will prob. Save you tons of money!!
