False positives?

33 replies

Hi all

I had a BFP this morning and another this afternoon, however I have since read that the brand I used (One Step Ultra Early from Amazon) is notorious for false positives. Now I feel really deflated and I dont know what to think until I can get hold of a different brand on Saturday.

Anybody had a false positive before?

Xx

By "those" I mean the test that the OP took

kell2126 · 02/01/2020 21:24

I've had false positives on those. Or at least, they very much seemed to be false positives because every other type of test came up BFN. None of which means this isn't a real BFP for you, OP– and I really hope it is– but personally I wouldn't trust it unless confirmed with FRER or similar. Best of luck to you x

I have done two Tesco’s own pregnancy tests 4days apart of each other .. negative results within 3 minutes on both but left them in my bag , both now showing quite clear blue plus signs ???
I’ve read a lot about Evaps etc
I am perimenopausal , only started with this in jan , periods are still regular in a sense although have changed ...
I had my last period 27:11:2019 and had some spotting on 13:12:2019... ovulation spotting ? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ my body temp went up before 13:12:2019 and I’ve remained at this temp , if I didn’t have the spotting I would be past my usual period date ... so did those tests , it’s probs too early but at this juncture ... I don’t know what’s going on lol

Do they? God I am naive I take everything at face value Blush surely they wouldn't be allowed to keep on producing them if so many have false positives? Keeping my finger crossed x

People make shit up on amazon reviews.

Thanks both, I thought they were impossible as well, but several of the Amazon reviews say they had false positives Shock

Congratulations on your BFP! It's very hard to get a false positive. When I found out I was expecting, I used a very cheap Wilkinson's test and once I saw a line got a digital Clear Blue to verify it.

I know it's easier said than done, but please don't worry! X

I thought false positives were impossible?
