Anyone used equate hpt and had false positive? I have taken 2 tests, one yesterday afternoon and once with my first urine this am. Both were such faint + lines I wonder if it just shows up on every test, and is not really positive. TIA for any info. I have an appt w/ a mw on Tues and will be tested there but really want to know now.

Hi, I didn't use that test but a used a First Response Early test this morning. I got a faint positive line. I'm going to retest in a couple of days, but I saw a line even if it was faint so I'm assuming I'm prego.

First, Thanks for repling to my question. That's the same test I used and I got 2 clear negs. So you may be in luck with your light line. Hope all works out well!

Hi! I did an Equate HPT test this morning--I think I am 10 DPO--there was a VERY VERY faint line--even my husband said "well it looks like there is a bit of a line there?" I was wondering the same thing if it just shows up on every test? Anyone else had the same experience?

I just took an equate HPT this moring...no faint positive line, just a very clear neg. So I would say it doesn't happen on every test and you are in luck...best of wishes!

I have used equate in the past, only when I turned out not to be and had clear negatives. I would try another brand, or test in a few more days, equate I believe reads at 100 according to the sites I have read.

If you try a First Response Early test, it should show a line...it is much more sensitive than the equate brand. Good luck!
