Hi all, not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Was out with friends tonight and one close friend confided that she thought she may be pregnant...this is huge for me, said friend is only 18yrs old and I worry for her but mostly because if she is preggers it is to her ex. who just happens to be my baby brother!!! I talked to her about how she felt, what she thought she may do etc etc.....and then I offered her a pregnancy test ( I always have a couple in the house!) she agreed it was a good idea to know for sure and she did the test...we read it immediately and were relieved it was negative.....friend has just gone home, was clearing up, picked up test and realised it was reading pos!! have gone back and re-read instuctions it says not to read after 10 mins. We read after 2 mins and cast test aside, friend left very quickly afterwards and I am pretty certain I'm reading test no more than 13-15 mins after taking. Have tried to call friend but no answer, even got dh out of bed to re-read test for me! (he agrees - it's reading pos) How reliable are these tests??? the ones I had in are cheap ones made by a company called 'acon' >> anyone heard of them? are their tests reliable?
I know I HAVE to tell my friend about this and urge her to get a reliable test done..but for my own noseyness ( and the outside chance that I may get to be an aunt!!) what do you mumsnetters think??
