I went to that site and could not find info on an experiment conducted on the issue of cutting HPT's in half.

Thanks Katie for the link... very ineteresting site, but I looked at all of her experiments and nowhere does she conduct one specifically on cutting a test in half lengthwise.

Hi Kat....

I don't really know the answer, but I wanted to say I'm glad you posted this, it makes me wonder if it works! If the tests are really made the way that you were saying, I bet it does work okay to cut them again, unless you don't cut them well and it causes problems or something. Hmmm. In any case, If she really thinks she's pregnant she might invest in a digital test or double checks with the doc, then there's no worries at all. If I thought I was I wouldn't be upset making sure, I got a blood test with DD to make sure.

Just my opinion though, doesn't mean anyone has to listen, lol.

Its so funny, when I got my positive HPT with DD I had another one in the box so of course the next morning I double checked with FMU...I was like, the more positive tests I see the funner it is, hee hee. And then my DH really wanted me to get a blood test, so I was like, okay, then I got to hear a nurse say "You're Pregnant, It was positive" over the phone, which felt really nice :D.
But if she's happy, then that's all that matters!

Hope you get your BFP next!

Goodness, to think about trying to cut those tiny OPK strips in half...


Anyway, I tend to think that she did get a BFP.

They are pretty wide actually.... she buys name brands like clearblue and FRER and then cuts those in half, not the tiny strips people buy over the internet.
