I have taken two preg. tests. Both were negative and after several hours were completely psitive. I have 4 more days of waiting. I am experencing some tightness and a litttle discomfort. A light cramping. I'm seven days past my ovulation. What could this be and can a test give a false positive ever? Anyone have these feelings???

Hi. From what I understand, you are not supposed to read the results past ten minutes or so. Being that you looked after several hours, probably what happened is the chemical on the test strip dried unevenly leaving a faint line. Try to wait the four days to test next. The more negatives you have now, the less you are going to believe them, if that makes any sense. And yes, they can definitly give a false negative. If it is only 7 DPO, you probably don't have enough of that chemical in you yet. Again, try to wait it out!

Good Luck
