best HPT???

Ok experts out there.....what do you recommend? I bought the only brand at our local 4 square and have got some pretty ambiguous results. First time I did it (last night) I watched as the moisture spread up past the test line to the control and a line appeared....therefore BFN (as I expected). But this morning I thought I wuold do it again (as you do) so I did the same thing. peed, dropped the drops in the well and hopped in the shower. Now I would have been in there between 1-5 min (not long as Tom was SCREAMING in his room). Get out and there is a fine test line! So now I am thinking....did I wait too long or is it a BFP? Would there be such a fine line between the right time and too long?

I want to test again (obviously)n but think maybe a different test so What do you reckon is best?????

I just think I may have left it too long. I am just re-reading the instructions as in the past I had the idea that BFP should show up in the first minute. (its an MDS Quick Card).

This is what it says

"Positive results may be evident within 1 minute but negative results should be read at 5 minutes."

Now I always took that as your positive should show up within 1 minute and that it might take 5 min to get the control line up if itisnt positive. But now thinking about it it could mean that it may take up to 5 min to show the test line.

So then I read on and got

"The test is completes in 5 mintutes and should be read at that time a discarded. The test has a certain amount of flexibiliyt built in with regard to its reaction time. After 5 minutes, a negative sample may appearto be weekly positive, therefore any interpretaion read after 5 minues must be considered INVALID"

How close to the 5 minutes does it change. Like I said I thought it was only about 5 minutes later but maybe it was 6 or 7.

Arrrrrgghhhh....guess I will have to test again tomorrow morning.

Imagine if I am...how cool would that be

I used the quick cards with both my boys. Josh's one I stuffed up (left it too long) so did another one straight away and it was a BFP.

dont get your hopes up I am betting that my shower was alittle longer than I thought. but a BFP would explain a few things and maybe why I got that weird spotting but no actual AF

yep bel...had 2-3 days of that last week. thought it was AF starting but it never really did anything. Had a day of spotting a few weeks earlier as well. Very weird. So it is either something positive or (as I am thinking) my cycles doing weird and wonderful post baby things

well ive done a test recently and it was neg, checked it when i got home after work just to be nosey and there was still definately no line at all. Plus when I tested with Kobe it was a really faint positive, went to the doctor and it took 6 minutes to come up on one of her tests but she still said it was a positive (and it was) I reckon you are preggie but will hold my congrats till tomorrow hehe

I think it will be a positive too.

oooh exciting for you nikki! Please let us know either way tomorrow!!

This happened with me just recently, the line didn't come up until the 5 mins and then I could only just see it, but I was pregnant. The GP uses the same test and his came up negative, funnily enough he also scrutinised it under a light, lol. but my blood test came back positive (he couldn't explain why his test had failed) Take another test tomorrow and if you get another faint line go to the docs and get a blood test.

oh and all the times i've used them, there's never been a problem with dodgy lines appearing .... or not appearing
