HPT - can you trust their accuracy?

[~clover~]

My gp told me that there was no need for further testing once a hpt is positive. They are usually accurate enough!
I'm sure your gp will do further testing for further confirmation for you, but I'm pretty sure your UTD!! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone! Here's hoping it is true. I turn 30 in 2 weeks & this would be the best birthday pressie ever!! I used a Crystal Clear HPT, which I have read give many false positives, but it just seemed to react so quickly.....anyway, time will tell. How am I going to sleep?!

I would say its a definite darling - congratulations!!!

False positives usually occur when there is some confusion over weather a line is a line is a line.

Your line came up bingo and bright.

You my love are pregnant!!!!!

Do you have any inkling how pregnant you could be?

A line is a line darl!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Best of luck at the Dr tomorrow.

I haven't slept hardly a wink. Between being excited, scared, anxious, hoping that the test at Dr shows same results!!!! Inanna, I don't really have a clue how preggers I would be. I know today is Day 86 since Day 1 of last period, so if that's where its counted from its 12 weeks+. My "cylces" this year ranged from 40 - 60 days and everything in between, so don't have a clue when ovulation would have occurred either!
Aaagghh!!! Come on 11am so i can get this sorted (or at least on the track to sorted). I am guessing I will have another pee test & then probably a blood test too.

I used a Crystal Clear and got a very hard and fast positive with DD - it is a fabulous feeling!!

Good luck for a VERY Happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Oh wow - how wonderful! I'd say it's looking pretty good!

Dr will probably send you off for an ultrasound too. Hope it's all wonderful news!

You'll probably go for an ultrasound to find out how far you are (IF its +ve of course, but I'm pretty sure it is) Then they'll be able to give you a reasonably accurate due date.
So excited for you! I'm getting impatient for 11am!! lol

I agree with everyone else.

A strong fast positive is a positive. True false positives are virtually impossible with HPT. Where the false positives come from is where people are seeing evap lines or similar.

Roll on 11:00. Good luck.
