very confused ..

i have had 2 HPT's that have been positive with one negative inbetween, i did a test yesterday afternoon as DH hadn't seen the slightly darker lines and it was negative :( Im very confused now 2 positive and 2 negative, Im 17 DPO so should well and truly be only showing positives by now, could it be a defective lot of tests and not showing true results? I would also be on CD38 which my longest ever cycle without being pregnant is 33, should i go buy a different brand of tests?

were they all the same brand?

yep all from the same bulk lot i got off ebay

oh ok, its entirely possible, have you got an appt to see a doc? I think in cases like this (and I have heard of it happenening before, with good and not so good outcomes...sorry..:redface:) its probably the best bet to get a hcg quantitive test, or a beta blood test, find out exactly whats going on.
Heres hoping for a sticky bub for you, fingers crossed all is ok hun! xxxx

Hi I would def run out and buy a test. I Love first response tests. I would try and do it with FMU to show DH. My packet says you can not get a false positive so maybe you afternoon tests have not had strong levels in them. Goodluck hun, I have :crossfingers: that your dark BFP is there for your DH to see soon.

:wall: sorry, I didnt read your OP very well! if it was in the afternoon, you may not have enough hcg to show it up then, definately do it with FMU.

i would def buy a first response test - i got my bfp at 11dpo with evening urine using first response and positive came up within 2mins, not very dark but definitely visible. i thentested again the next day at 12dpo with FMU and it was barely visible - had to tilt the test to see the line:( went to the docs for bloods and they came back showing i'd had a chemical pregnancy (egg was fertilised but did not implant) - my hcg came back at 10 and 3 days later AF started :( - I hope this isn't the case for you hun :hug:

Definitely get a First Response or Discover one step, I trust their accuracy over any other tests :D
:goodluck: hun xxoo

thanks everyone, my drs appt is next week so hopefully i will get some answers, i didnt show up on a HPT with DD1 until i was almost 7 weeks im hoping this is the same. It wasnt an evap line as it the faint line has definate colour to it, this ttc business sure isnt easy even now when usually you get your bfp thats it your pregnant i cant even get that lol
