Hi all
Its been awhile since I was on here. Hubby & I went thru 18mths of IVF from 2006 & have been riding the adoption rollercoaster for the last 12mths. Anyway, I don't have a regular cycle as such & it has been 85 days since Day 1 of my last period. I did a HPT today and it came back as a very fast & strong positive. Given our history, I am hesitant to believe this (as much as I would be soooooo excited if its true) and have made an appt to see the Dr tommorrow.
Are these HPT's really that accurate? It says 99%+ on the box, but I just don't know if I could be that lucky?
believe it, you're preggers!!!!!!!! False positives are EXTREMELY rare, and they don't turn up that quickly or strong. This is a very magical time for you, congratulations, you're going to be a mummy. Get in to your doctors hun xox
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 believe that false positives are extremely rare in HPTs. My GP said that they don't usually bother with urine tests to confirm pregnancy now as a positive HPT is a positive HPT!
HPT - can you trust their accuracy?
