 Topic: False positives

Hiya, not sure if this is the right place to put this , but anywho
False positives ? anyone had one before ? what were they like , did they look exactly the same as a BFP , or were they slightly different, did they disappear ?
What brand did you use when you got one ?

Yup had 2... they were dipstick internet cheapies and the lines did fade out over a couple of days to an evap looking line.
I think they are very uncommon on midstreams though....

Thanks for your response Mel :-)
Im wondering cos of that clear blue one I did , which is here
the line hasn't faded at all since I first saw the test , which was thursday night , prob is , I didn't see when it came up (could well have been in the time limit )
and i've had BFNs on first response which makes me wary .
Surely one so dark wouldn't be a false positive would it ?

Yeah I would think a false BFP would be no where near as dark and convincing as that!! GL hun! (And I say get a discover if you can... They are great and sensitive, and I dont think I have ever heard of getting an evap or false BFP on them..)

I thought that you could only get false negatives not false positives??? Cause you only have the H?? in your blood when you are actually pregnant?
OMG though....hurry up and test again!

OMG Congrats Kelly!!!!
I've always used Clear Blue and never had a false positive. Had plenty of duds where NOTHING comes up (not even the control) though.
Also I've found that even with a really faint early BFP the Clear Blues do tend to get darker after a few hours IYGWIM.

You can definately get false +ives.. I have had them and had HCGs done and 0 so not chemical pg.
Kelly I dont think its a false though with it that dark, mine were faint... dark enough to know its a line (ie DH could see them) but way lighter than that...
Since this pg I no longer believe FMU is alwasy best.. if T has you up during the night and pee and/or drink while you are up then your pee is going to be diluted so even if you have a midstream test I would personally catch your pee in a cup until its nice and dark LOL ALL my HPT's (until about 16DPO) were darker with afternoon pee than fmu...
Oh and congrats again
