Question about those test strips...
| Tue, 07-29-2003 - 12:16pm |
Has anyone tested negative with one of those early pregnancy test strips (ordered off the internet), but tested positive with a different. Af is late and I tested this morning with a test strip and it came up BFN. I feel like I am doing it wrong or something. Is there some trick to these? :) I know they advertise as being the most sensitive (able to test 6dpo), but is that true? I have an Equate brand test in the closet, but don't want to waste it if the test strips are the best and most accurate. I just wondered what other people's experiences were with these type of tests.
Thanks!

I have ordered preg test strips off the internet twice and the ones I got this last time didn't seem quite as sensitive. I tested like all week before I was suppose to start af and got nothing but neg. The day I was suppose to start af I tested again and I got the FAINTEST line. So I tested again the next day and it was a tiny bit darker (I think) so I used the other test I had (I don't know what brand), and I had a line that you could see pretty easily. With the first line I was pretty sure I was Preg. but I liked the darker reasurance. I tested again yesterday (I am 5 weeks and 3 days along today) with the same ones off line and I had a very dark line. That was nice to see, my Doctors appt. isn't until the 11th. So I would suggest that you don't use your test from the store untill you are at least a day late. If you can hold off, I know how hard it is. Anyway good luck to you!
