wait til the morning, HCG levels are stronger then.

and congrats

Imawurzel · 25/04/2007 19:02

Did think of that.
But if it was a BFP this morning wouldn't it still be a BFP this eve?

prob, but depends on how faint it was.

(i am the queen of faint bfps )

mum03 · 25/04/2007 19:04

If you drink before a test - you will dilute the hcg in your urine and get a negative test, do as Lissielou suggests and wait til first morning urine.

worz - when I got my fiant it was in the evening no word of a lie, took the full 10 mins to show up (q me to go to tescos 24 and get 2 CB digital) literally 2 drops of pee later nice BFP. it should be ok. (obv i'm not there nor an expert on these matters! lol)

how many tests are in the box?

mum03 · 25/04/2007 19:06

hcg levels measured by the pregnancy tests take 24 to 36 hours to double, you will get a clearer result if you can wait, but I know how that feels impossible when you just want to know for sure.....

munz · 25/04/2007 19:06

(ooh yes agree no to the water as well )

Hopeitwontbebig · 25/04/2007 19:11

Would agree with the water thing. With DS1 I got a faint line, then went out and bought some more tests, drank some water and then tested negative. I tested again the following morning and got a really strong pos. If you really can't wait till morning then wait for a good few hours, don't drink too much or it'll dilute. Good luck x

Imawurzel · 25/04/2007 19:14

I had a drink when i got home bout half hour ago.
Only one test, tis all i could afford til friday.
I shall wait til nearer bedtime then.
Dh is like do it now, but DH i got no pee!!

munz · 25/04/2007 19:15

LMAO ooh my DH was exactly the same (stood next to me saying I cna't hear peeing - run the tap etc! lol)- and if you wait till tomorrow it will be like you're 5 again waiting to see if santa's been to visit you - can you tell how excited I am yet for you??

munz · 25/04/2007 20:07
