Have you missed a period, as if you haven't and are testing earlier each tests have a different level detector.

I've heard you can have a false negative (ie if it's early days) but not a false positive. Hope you get the outcome you want.

which brands, they have different sensitivity. Did you use first morning urine?

cluckyduck · 04/05/2010 14:51

How many days late are you? Sensitivity varies between brands.

Good luck

i had a strange thing, where I had a positive on the Thursday, but then all the tests (and I did many) were reading negative until the following Monday, when I got dark positives with all brands!?! Very strange! But I've been told the same - you cannot get a false positive. The only thing that guves a positive result is the pregnancy hormone.

How dark was the positive line? ie. was it very very very faint? Did the line have a colour to it, or was it like a greyish colour?
