Been feeling a bit odd since 2 weeks ago when we were TTC. My period is due on 15 november. We decided to test yesterday with a Clearblue kit.

It stayed negative but after 10 minutes it turned positive. In the leaflet says, that any results after 10 min should be disregarded.

Have any of you encountered this situation?

Thanks in advance!!

not sure, may be faulty test or not done quite right? I think though htat they can give a false negative (not enough hormone level) but rarely give a false postive. Don't want to get yr hopes up, but if i were you I'd go and get another test! Good luck

It may be an evaporation line though - there is a website called pee on a stick with all kinds of answers...byt why not wait a few days and try agaib (hard I know).

yei, thanks Miss Chief... very weird indeed! I think i will wait until day period is due... this testing thing is very tiring (emotionally)!

I would get another test to make sure, and do it on the 15th (I know it seems too long to wait ).

Because you are a few days early it could be that it took a while for the result to show up (because of low preg hormone levels), but if it did appear clearly I would (tentatively) say you are pg. I've heard you cant get a false positive, and evaporation lines don't look like positive lines.

Good luck x

Have done three pregnancy tests in my life, also at very early stages, none looked convincingly positive to me (ie line very feint, took a while to appear) - all were accurate! Fingers crossed for you.

I had a absolutly 100% convincing positive on a clearblue last month after the 10 minutes and wasnt pregnant. Clearblue are notorious for it, i've never had anything like it on any other test apart from Clearblue, i wont be buying them again as it really upset me.

Sorry

www.peeonastick.com is really good for all hpt related questions.

Good luck

i had a pos on a tesco test after 10 mins but very feint. then went to docs and they did a surgery one ( think they are really crap0 this was also feint. nurse said that positive is a positive. then went on to mc. they thought this was due to low hcg hence feint lines.

thats not true, they tell you to throw pregnancy tests away after a certain time because they can give false results, usually evap lines are clear but clearble do give evaporation lines which are coloured and look exactly like a positive. I know so many people who have been sucked in like this and ended up upset and disapointed. you really should put tests in the bin straight away.

i've never been on 2ww.com, didntnknow it existed.. oh dear, another forum for me to frequent ?! lol.

i should have taken a picture of my clearblue evap line, it was astonishing, blighter then my bfp when i was pregnant with my daughter !

I find poundland tests are the best and clearblue the worst ( and most expensive !)

worzsel · 14/11/2007 15:20

i dont think the drs tests are all that sensitive really.

i dont think most drs are fertility experts either, mine certainly isn't lol !

how long have you both been trying?
