i took an FRE this morning, got a second line that was faint but definately there and pink. about 15 minutes later the line disappeared!! this is the third test in three days that i had a second line and it disappeared, even though the line got a bit darker each time it still disappeared. is this a BFP or a bad batch of tests? anyone else have this happen and end up pg? i don't ever remember any of my bfp with this test ever disappearing on me. even my husband saw the line. i wanted to make sure i wasn't seeing things and i wasn't! so now what? i also don't ever remember having a second line with FRE unless i was pg. could it be that it is just so early? i have no clue how many dpo's i am. haven't been temping. so now i'm really confused. am i or aren't i? any psychic's out there??:)

I have been hearing a lot about FRE tests which is weird. My suggestion to you would be 1 of 2 things. Either go for a blood test to confirm or wait a week and take another HPT and see what it says. I'd go even for a different brand maybe although I don't think using the FRE would really be a big problem. It could possibly be that it's just too early.

i don't know for sure about that test, but the vast majority of hpts say to read the test within 10 minutes because it may show something different after that. the first time i ever took a pregnancy test, it showed a negative (over a year ago - so i know i really wasn't), but when i went to throw it away (i was so excited that i wasn't pregnant, i forgot to throw it away before calling my girlfriend to rejoice! my bf and i had just broken up cuz he cheated. jerk.), if showed a positive. so, retest, and make sure you find the time window in which you're supposed to read the test, and ONLY read it within that time window!

I am experiencing the same thing. I skipped my period earlier this month and took a home pregnancy test and it came out with two lines, took another one to make sure and two lines. Now, I showed a friend of mine and it was two lines. So, I made a Dr's appointment. When it was like three days before the Dr appointment I took another one, this one said the word PREGNANT on it. So, I think ok, I'm pregnant. When I went to the Dr, the nurse gave me a due date and then said I wasn't pregnant. I don't get it. I have now taken four - five pregnancy tests and they are all positive. But the Dr.s office said no. What gives? Why am I having these positive reactions? I just took two on Thursday night and they were positive. What gives? Any clues? Anyone heard of false positives before? 4-5 false positives? Was I too early to detect the pregnancy?

Thanks

it's possible that your levels aren't high enough for the doctor to want to say "yes, you're pregnant and you're probably going to stay that way." that would explain them giving you a potential due date, but at the same time saying you aren't pregnant. did two different people tell you those two things?
