i got a +hpt from orange juice

I bought a heap of internet cheapies and i've been testing for about 6 days. lol I've been getting extremely light lines. almost not there. I'm 13dpo today and i tested again with the same result. I decided to test the test and dipped one in orange juice. If I'M pregnant then so is my orange juice. :o I have lost all faith in internet cheapies. It wasn't an evap line either. It came up in the normal amount of time and is the same faintness as the one i did with FMU. goodness knows what is going on with them!

:o That is interesting.

Congratulations to your glass of OJ.

What a shock to see it come up positive - I wouldn't believe it even in front of my eyes lol.

I think maybe a trip to the chemist is in order to get a reliable test ;)

Good luck!!!

Did you feel weird drinking the pregnant orange juice afterwards? :lol:

Bwahahahahahahhaaaa - I wonder what the baby will look like!!

I wonder how many it's squeezed out before?

Can I ask what brand of internet cheapies they were?

Pmsl - it might come out oompa loompa orange!

That is so weird that OJ gave a "positive". Maybe just that individual test was faulty and your lines are real :)

Pmsl. Congratulations to your orange juice.

I wonder how long it will take til 'baby' is cooked? You might never need to buy orange juice again!!!

(on a serious note, it doesn't say much for the cheapies does it? Good luck with a chemist-brought test)

Oh no! I had to reply to this as it made me LOL!

I hope it was just a faulty test and your lines were real :hug: xxx

Is very strange though! I guess its a good thing i didnt give in and buy any IC's! lol

My dh drank some of that juice. I wonder what effects he might have? man boobs maybe. LOL
I bought them from fertility2family. I saw on another website a pic of a test that came up positive in coke. That's what made me experiment and so i just grabbed orange juice. I had to try and amuse myself today lol

A hint, I wont advertise any companies, but I know you can get the tests Dr's use from various Medical & Surgical suppliers for around $50 for a pack of 40 tests. I know they aren't as cheap as the internet ones, but they are reliable, they work and per test, they are no where near as expensive as the chemist ones.

PM me if any of you want the details of where you can get them from??

oh, interesting! thanks Kimmi. I also did 2 crystal clears and they both came up with very very faint lines. but they are blue and i know blue dyes are notorious for being weird. Unfortunately AF seems to be here. :( Maybe i've had a chemical pregnancy. I don't know. :( I've had all the symptoms AND lots of extremely faint tests. I was so excited too because i finally ovulated. :( ooh well, next cycle.

My diet coke also comes up preggy :) I tried it ages ago too funny!
Love that the oj is utd!

It's crazy!!!

That is bizzare. I wonder if you put the ones that come up 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' if it would say 'pregnant' and then how many weeks?!

hey all,

anyone had issues with clear blue digital tests??

I'm curious as I had a weird RH side pain which I thought was O ing, went for scan on 9/05/12 - NOT pregnant...
HAd a BT done on CD 25 (same day as scan) and results showed elevated TSH hormones (thyroid) so Dr thought tyroid was hyper..
went for U/S on throat, and second BT, levels decreased Dr wasn't sure so re testing in 4 weeks...I did ask him what if AF doesn't come, he said it could be the thyroid
DTD the 10th
AF was due 26/05/12, but is a no show..
I thought it might be the thyroid, but then today I almost puked having breakfast after one mouth,
but ABSOLUTLEY NO OTHER SYMPTOMS!
and then I thought i'll just rule out a BFP and guess what
BFP - clear blue digital says 2-3weeks
DH says wait a couple more days (he is a man after all!) but i think i should go get another brancd test and check again..
any suggestions?

maybe wrong thread....

Was the juice packaged in plastic? Or plastic lined cardboard?

Hormone-Mimics In Plastic Water Bottles Act As Functional Estrogens

ScienceDaily (Mar. 26, 2009) — Plastic packaging is not without its downsides, and if you thought mineral water was ‘clean’, it may be time to think again. According to Martin Wagner and Jörg Oehlmann from the Department of Aquatic Ecotoxicology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, plastic mineral water bottles contaminate drinking water with estrogenic chemicals.

In an analysis of commercially available mineral waters, the researchers found evidence of estrogenic compounds leaching out of the plastic packaging into the water. What’s more, these chemicals are potent in vivo and result in an increased development of embryos in the New Zealand mud snail. These findings, which show for the first time that substances leaching out of plastic food packaging materials act as functional estrogens, are published in Springer’s journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

Wagner and Oehlmann looked at whether the migration of substances from packaging material into foodstuffs contributes to human exposure to man-made hormones. They analyzed 20 brands of mineral water available in Germany – nine bottled in glass, nine bottled in plastic and two bottled in composite packaging (paperboard boxes coated with an inner plastic film). The researchers took water samples from the bottles and tested them for the presence of estrogenic chemicals in vitro. They then carried out a reproduction test with the New Zealand mud snail to determine the source and potency of the xenoestrogens.

They detected estrogen contamination in 60% of the samples (12 of the 20 brands) analyzed. Mineral waters in glass bottles were less estrogenic than waters in plastic bottles. Specifically, 33% of all mineral waters bottled in glass compared with 78% of waters in plastic bottles and both waters bottled in composite packaging showed significant hormonal activity.

By breeding the New Zealand mud snail in both plastic and glass water bottles, the researchers found more than double the number of embryos in plastic bottles compared with glass bottles. Taken together, these results demonstrate widespread contamination of mineral water with potent man-made estrogens that partly originate from compounds leaching out of the plastic packaging material.

The authors conclude: “We must have identified just the tip of the iceberg in that plastic packaging may be a major source of xenohormone* contamination of many other edibles. Our findings provide an insight into the potential exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals due to unexpected sources of contamination.”

:sick:

I really like the clear blue ones MLR!

I has three negative test with another brand from the supermarket and no af last time I was pregnant, went to the supermarket and got a clear blue one ( i only ever use thoes ones) and got a positive!

I have never had any issues - or heard of issues with clear blue digitals MLR. I think a congratulations may be in order! :D

In the meantime, I'm still annoyed a carton of juice can get UTD but I can't :lol:

I have used internet cheapies many times (I think I have a problem!) and they were always accurate. Sadly I had a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage after a few positives but AF ways weeks late so I can't blame the tests for false positives there and the 15 (yep...I was worried about another m/c- can you tell?) I did with this pregnancy all came up positive! when I wasn't UTD I had clear negative results. I am more worried about the beverages TBH! what was the OJ in? was it a tetra pak?

Same with the ones I use :) they're not from where you got yours from so maybe they're different somehow. Can't say I ever tried testing beverages though so :dunno:. I have heard of diet coke getting a BFP before though. Got a few tests left, might get bored enough to try during the week :)

My diet coke was preg ages ago. Not sure how long the gestation period of diet coke is but no sign of any baby diet cokes yet!!

Someone needs to tell Juno...

Pregnant brain.

When it comes to cheapie tests there is still a way to check if they are any good. When purchasing them make sure that they are listed on the ARTG (Australian register of therapeutic goods) - if they are they will have their ARTG number on the packaging (sometimes prefaced with ARTG sometimes Aust L) if they have this then they are a properly regulated product and have had their manufacturing methods tested. A correctly manufactured hpt will never give you (or your beverage of choice) a false positive.

If it doesn't have an ARTG number then it's dodgy and probably won't work.

The other thing to remember is that technically it is illegal to import them from overseas and people are fined regularly for doing it.
