Home Pregnancy Tests

How accurate home pregnancy tests?

I have had a really light period over the last few days but thought i had had my period earlier a few weeks ago, so I decided to do a pregnancy test. I ended up doing 3 & they all returned a positive result. I know my hcg level must be high to get a result at night but before we get to excited I wanted to check if there is any chance that having my period could affect the result of a pregnancy test?

Id say the light bleeding you had was implantation bleeding

Congratulations!! When i tested i got 3 faint positives and my doctor said a line is a line that its uncommon to have 3 false tests.

I don't think so, I'm thinking it may be an implantation bleed & congrats are in order
But you could head to your gp for confirmation
goodluck xx

Thanks ladies. My husband & I are very excited & my poor husband got the news at work because I couldn't wait to tell him!

Hopefully I don't have to wait long to get into my GP!

omg get excited id agree sounds like implantation bleeding home tests are rearly wrong espiecally if you've done 3!! if you have on faint line usually just means early pregnancy congrats hunni

My bleeding has continued so my doctor is performing HCG comparison tests to see if in fact i am still pregnant. There is a 50 / 50 chance that i may have lost the baby already. We get the results on Thursday so I am praying we get some positive news! It would make the best birthday present!
