All right...I took one of those test that you can take 5 days before AF is due? Well, it came back positive....but then I was reading the box and it says that antibiotics can cause a false positive and I am on Macrobid for a UTI (which btw I always get when I am pregnant)So, I was wondering if anyone has gotten a false positive from these tests. When i took it it was at 830 am and I hadn't had a pill since dinnertime the night before...

AF isn't due till 10/27...this was the 2nd test i took and the line was darker on this one that on the previous one....What is your opinion.

I think you are pregnant!!! I really think these tests only pick up HCG in your system, and especially if your test got darker, then that means your level is increasing. I just found out and my af is due the 26th, so maybe we will be on the July board together!!! Keep me posted and sorry to hear about your UTI, but I really thing you are preggo!!!

sounds like you are pregnant to me... how many tests have you taken? I took one first response and two 20 cent strips I got online.

I know its hard to believe when you see that second line! Mine are not that dark but they are definitely there (AF Due Oct 24 - Due date July 3)

Okay...I gave up on confusion and called my doctor about the anti-biotic false reading thing? I am on Macrobid for the UTI (Oh, joy) and she said that the only false you could posibly get would be a false negative not a false positive....So...I am going in to see a new OB next week....my last one up and moved away.....I hate having to start over with a new doctor...but that is just my ramblings. If everything comes out positive there our new addition should make his/her arrival 7/4/04
