Yeah, it does but you'll get a better
reading if the hcg in your urine is
concentrated. Thus, you'll get a positive
and have it actually .B.E positive and you
won't have to take test after test after
test waiting for a real positive result.
If you take a pregnancy test when there is
a higher concentration of the pregnancy
hormone, the test will work better.

Ya, so right, especially if her hcg level
isn't high to begin with.... I guess I
was just like superhcg girl lol. Cuz I
peed on a stick at like 11:00 at night,
and it was darker than dark before I even
was done peeing lol. (like 10 seconds)
and this was 4 days before I even missed a
period hehehe.

Everyone is different. You may have
ovulated early and so were 'farther' along
in the number of days you were pregnant.
She may or may not be pregnant, but taking
(and paying for!) multiple tests is silly.
If you follow the directions.
Some tests say they can pick up the
pregnancy hormone as soon as 4 or 5 days
before your missed period - but that is
only if your body is producing enough
hormone for it to pick up! It isn't
guaranteed and that statement isn't always
true. Even pregnant women sometimes have
to wait a week or more after they miss
their period for a test to be positive.

Megums1211---all pregnancy test say you
can test any time of the day just not
first response. It's just recomended that
you use first morning urine it's better.
And it's more than likely to pick up hcg
if there is any.

So to the original poster, have you
retested yet? Pm me if u want so we can
have a better conversation. Sorry I
replied so late I was in bed, asleep as
you do.Lol
and u said u should be due on your period
again, u can wait a couplde of days to see
if it comes, to save yourself from wasting
money, and if u get one that comes up with
a + or - thats better than the ones that
say pregnant or not pregnant.
Do it in the morning
with a first response clearblue pregnancy
test
let me no how it goes
good luck mate!

Hi everyone
sorry for the late update I went away for
the weekend.
I havent re-tested yet I am trying my best
to wait just incase I am really late for
some reason.
I still havent had my period, I did have
the smallest amount of spotting on sunday
but nothing much and nothing since. I
will re-test on friday if I still havent
had my period.
Thanx everyone for your advice, you are
all being a big help.

The question is: is that a lot for you?
Some people have longer cycles. Some
people have 21 day cycles. Other people
have 34 day cycles. This is where you
have to advocate for yourself, be aware of
your own body and how it works. If you
feel like you are pregnant and are also
late on your period, take a test. This is
a message board, that is really about all
we can tell you.
Good luck!

Hi have you retested? If you are 44 days
you should get a real result by now. I
also recommend 1st response. I did it
witmy daughter 4 days before period was
due and got a definate positive

Hi everyone
well I couldnt wait till friday I
re-tested last night. I used clearblue
digital as I bought a 3 test kit.
It came up 'not pregnent' so I have made a
dr apointment for the end of the week to
find out what is going on, and to see if
she is willing to try anything other that
barrier methods for me.
Thanx everyone

Well I still havent had my af :cry:
as some of you may remember my post
'testing question' I thought I needed some
suport or advice.
I have been getting cramps and headaches
feeling asthough I am about to start for
what seems like ages now but still nothing
... Grrrrrrrrrr
i went to the docs and he thinks I might
have pcos, he has sent a sample to the lab
just in case the clearblue digital tests
were wrong though.
My last af was the begining of april and I
had some spotting about the 29th ish of
may but no af. I did a test with a cheap
brand in may and got a faint possitive and
since then have doen 2 x clearblue digital
tests which were both bfn's. What is
wrong with me???????

Hey I have been a big fan of first
response and the dollar store brand in
fact the dollar one showed up faster than
the first response.. It detects 20 miu's
compared to the first response.. But I
live by the first response.. It tends to
be better at least for me. Try that
brand.. Maybe that will help.. Even if
its a faided pink line. Its still means
hcg( the pregnancy hormone) was detected..
So check it out if you havent got the af
or your doctor hasnt confirmed anything
yet!
