:? Well I took a equate hpt this morning and the darn thing did not work. Instead of it showing like this -/-- it looked like this = - what the heck. This is my 3 one that did not work prop. I know go to the doctor but I do not have ins as of yet and no extra $$$ to shell out for a Dr. Testing at oer 500 a pop . I am just so frustrated about the whole thing. I guess I will just have to wait and see. Baby dust to you all.

Buy a different brand of test. There are so many different brands. Hope one works for you soon.

Even if the line is faint you can still be pregnant its so hard to get a false positive, I had 4 negative hpt and one positve on the fourth test blood work was really the only way to tell cause I felt pregnant but the dr kept saying I wasnt or it was too early to tell. I didnt find out I was preggo till about 2 months after sad but I was on the pill and I guess it must have done something thanks god there is nothing wrong with my son!

Tell Me About It
I took a test just over two weeks ago- I got a really faint positive, but it dissapeared? What is that about? Anyhoo, I waited a few days, used the 2nd test in the pack- definate negative- my husband and I kicked up our heels (much as we would have loved our baby, it's a bit soon after the last one!!) we wre pretty relieved (we were not trying, I am on the pill, but had a stomach virus the previous month, and priobably didn't keep the pill down)- I gave my period a few more days to show up- nothing. Tested again last wednesday- neg- went back on the pill saturday. Nausea started yesterday.
Continues today.

Grrrrrr.
Will have to test again in a few days.

You Think?
Why? I can't imagine there is too much wrong with me.
What makes you say I should run off to the doctor? I hate going to the doctor!

Lol - calm down .El, I hate the doctor too so understand your reaction - I think they were suggesting getting a definite answer instead of stressing over hpt's all the time.
