HPT Questions?

Hi everyone! Ok, I swear I'm seeing things.


I am 10dpo, and my AF isn't due till Tues. 4/14, but I am very impatient. SO I went to the Dollar Store and got a HPT just to try, even though I was sure I"d would be neg. When I did it at 6:30pm, I saw nothing, just a neg. As I'd assume it would be, since it's so early. I just went in at 8:45, and I looked closer and I swear there is the faintest line. Am I seeing things? Could this actually be a positive?


Has anyone ever gotten a BFP on 10dpo?


How reliable are the HPT sold at Dollar Tree? Comparable to named brands?


Since it sat for about 2 hours, could that have made it invalid?


Should I try a digital, named brand now, would it even say "Pregnant" or should I wait a few more days?


Any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Nikki,
I'm in the same boat, 10DPO, knew I'd get a BFn but couldn't hold out any longer, woke up at 0630am and using FMU got a BFN... i wasn't using a cheapie. I know its probably too early, but i have heard of several BFPs at this stage, they say its about an 8% chance of getting a BFP at 8DPO. I would say not to rely on anything earlier than 12DPO (not that I can help myself either)

They say any line after 10mins is neg or evap line. Wouldn't stop me testing again the next morning just to be sure. I'd get a First Response Early Result or digital aswell.

Hope you get a postive!

I know that some women swear by them, so I am only speaking from my own experiences here.


First of all, it's imperative to remember that any line appearing outside of the time frame should not be considered a positive. If you checked the test at the 10 minute time limit and no line was there, then the test was negative.


A few cycles ago I got up to pee early in the morning and decided to POAS. After
