Hi!!

Has anyone ever reused an hpt test and gotten a positive result the 2nd time around? I realize you aren't supposed to, but when anxiety is at it's peak, and no new tests around, what's a body to do??

This line of posts cracked me up and actually made my day... I am laughing with all of you and not at you because I have done the same thing and as I was peeing on it for the second time, I thought to myself, "wow, I have really gone off the deep end... am I crazy?" But I did it anyway... thanks for the laughs!!

I have an answer!! LMAO Well I went to looking after I seen this pop back up......and I found an old EPT box with a test in it. It had a very faint evaperation line on it...well I went ahead and peed on it, and sure enough, negative. LOL The evaperation line got even fainter, almost invisable after retaking it. So nope it won't show up....but it can't hurt to try just to make yourself feel better. :) Good Luck Everyone.

Hi...

LOL.... I'm glad I'm not the only one! I actually retested with the same strip before also.... it was one of those online test strips that you dip into the FMU.... well I actually got a second line.... it had color and everything. It got my hopes up and when I retested with a new test after AF was late and I got a neg. So who knows whats up with that..... but wanted you to know that I did get a second colored line and it wasn't really faint.... my dh saw it also. So I guess it's not really reliable.

Ok I agree, I just tried it!!! LOL!!! couldnt resist after reading this post. It didnt do anything. The faint line that was there before is just the same. Anyway... I have a funny story about this one... Late last year I went to the Town fair with my friend. Now she thought she was pregnant but was afraid to test. So i made her do it. after 3 test sticks, she wasnt peeing in them right and no results were coming up. no lines what so ever. so on her third stick, i looked at it for 3 minutes, and nothing. it wasnt activated. so then i said let me see something... so i peed on it (i know its gross but i was curious) and it came out positive. then we didnt know who was pregnant!!! Either i was pregnant or i pushed her pee in far enough to read positive!!! then we had to wait another 3 hours until she had to pee again, and buy more tests to find out who was pg and who wasnt!!! turns out it was her! she is due at the end of the month!!! I hope you all find the humor in this!!! LOL!!!!!
