HPT Question for you Guys in the Know

Alright, I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, I've been to school and all :) Last night while bored I took an Answer HPT that came with my OPK and two lines appeared. (BTW, my husband and I have been trying for about a year). So of course in the pouring rain and at 2 am I head out to the 24 hr Wal Mart and buy a First Response and EPT. The First Response was positive (pretty distinct Result line, the Answer as well). The EPT had a line but seemed to be fainter than the other two. Surfing the message board made me even more confused about HPTs. Are the results pretty accurate?? They claim 99%.... Any thoughts, I would sure appreciate it as I sit here with mine.

First of all, how exciting! I don't really consider myself that much "in the know", but I have become obsessed with testing lately as we TTC. I THINK that from what I have read, a line is a line even if faint. And since you got positive with the other tests, that sounds like GOOD NEWS to me! I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and I really think your results sound good! Best of luck, please keep us posted.

Thank you so much for your reply. While surfing I called my doctor and have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Very excited. My husband is in the Army, newly returned from Baghdad and now about to go back until April. I'm hoping that this will be some great news to keep his spirits up during the long months ahead. I appreciate your encouraging note so much! Farrah

AF was due only two days ago, thanks for your prayers. I was reading another posting of yours earlier and I really related to you touching your breasts at work to see if they're sore. I do that too. My nipples are quite sore to the touch.

I got my positive results with a First Response test and it was a very bold line. I also took a couple with an ept from Wal-Mart and it barely showed a line, and one time the entire window just turned pink, so obviously I had some faulty package (I bought the one that came two tests in a box). SO...if your first response says yes then I would bet you are pregnant! I went to get a blood test to confirm mine, and now I'm 8 weeks along!
