How reliable is a cheep PG test, when used in the middle of the day?

[mummyloveslucy]

I'm hoping that it might be a false negative, as I'm about a week over due. I took the test two days ago.
I used to be very iregula, but since losing weight, I've become very regula, so it's unusual for it to be so late.
I don't want to get my hopes up too much. What do you think?

I think you should take another test!!

IME cheap ones are still very accurate but may not work so well when urine more diluted - try again in the morning with first urine. Fingers crossed you get the result you want

sorry posted too soon. Tests should be pretty reliable, esp a week overdue - that should be long enough from what I remember to show up a pg. was there any line at all, even faint?

No, there wasn't a line. I did stare at it from every angle, willing it to show up. I was only about 2 days over when I last tested, I think.
I will try again on monday morning, as I don't have another test at home.

With ds, I didn't have a line first time I tested - mid afternoon. I waited another week and 2 days, re tested first thing in morning and there was a definite line. So don't give up hope yet! hope you get result you want on monday

Thank you. There's still hope then.

My mum said that with me, it didn't show up on a PG test for months. She was also still having light periods until she was 5 months! I find this hard to believe but that's what she said.

Read around on here and it does happen. my false negative is fast asleep upstairs so don't give up yet. Fx for monday!

daww, that's lovely. Thank you.

My 1st test was negative, taken in the afternoon when AF was 2 days late. Went on a hen weekend, drank loads but when AF still hadn't arrived a week later, did another test first thing in the morning and immediately got a BFP! So do retest in the morning - and let us know how you get on.
