Defective Preg Test? Defective Preg Test?
Posted: 09-09-06 19:26pm

Has anyone tried the equate preg test that shows a pink positive plus sign if pregnant /and a negative pink horizontal if not prego..I took a few equate test ,but also found out after the fact I may have tested 2 early(10dpo) 3 were positive 1 was invalid then my sis bought a diferent generic ept test &it was negative..Now I dont have the best eyesight so I asked others around me wat did the equate test look like to them/ even called their 1-800 # and everyone said positive but just really faint ,i guess my question is has anyone ever got a postive from this test where the vertical line was off centered and not as wide as the horizontal but near the middle and noticibly white almost all my equate test were like that with the horizontal line being pink then the other brand said negative and I do feel like im starting period soon..Also I did my test correctly accept 1 which I pee'd on too much I also didnt read after 10 min ..All these test were read within 2 to 3 mins ...Cant the white line be an evaporation line even though on all test it showed up before 3to4min..Is equate just not a good brand?Has anyone been thru this :(

Hey hun. Usually if you get a positive preggo test,
then that's it, you're preggo! It's very very very
unusual to get a false positive. It's pretty doubtful
to get an evaporation line after only 3 or 4 minutes.

The only brand .I will use to test is .First .Response .Early.
Get one of those &test with that- it's meant to take a few
days before your period starts- so you should get an accurate
result with that!

&.Early pregnancy symptoms can all too often
seem like pms symptoms.

So it sounds like you're preggo!

If anything else go to the doc &have a bloodtest done!
