Help Needed....freaking out!

OK. I posted a message below about getting a very faint + here on CD 33 (dpo is a mystery).

I read the results after 3 min, neg, but picked it up to look in the kitchen. After about 2 mmore minutes, I got a faint vertical line. The EPT test said to read between 3 and 20 mnutes.

So b/c I'm crazy I called EPT to find out if moving the test was ok. They said it could affetc the resutls.

Does anyone know why picking up the test after 3 mins would affetc the results? I mean, either the HCG is in your system or not, right? The box said wait 3 mins and I did....

I have no more tests and due to logisitcs of my afternoon (DS napping, I have to wake him to catch a train and will be out all day) I can't tets again until much later?

Anyone help????

Despite what EPT said, I really don't think moving the test would have affected it, especially if the urine had already moved through it. Heck I used to drag mine around with me all day checking it!

that said...with my first PG, I tested a *VERY FAINT* + after 20 minutes with Confirm, then later negative with CBE, then on 13 dpo, I tested with EPT, and after about 15 minutes I got aline...it wasn't light, but I aslo had blood drawn that day and my HCG was 156, so it should have turned right away. I would be cautiously optimistic, and test again tomorrow! Not much else to do!!

Good luck!
