Pregnancy Info HOME

It depends on the test. I have had some where the evap line disappeared after it dried and some where the evap line stayed after it dried up. The point is, the test is invalid after 5 minutes. Try not to get caught up in wondering whether it is a faint positive or an evap line. Wait a day or two and take another test. Read it at 5 minutes and then throw it out. If you are pregnant, you will see some sort of line within the five minutes. Waiting a day should help too, because it will give your body time to produce more hcg to show up on your test. Good luck!

thanks deb.......
i did write it of as an evap, didn't want to get my hopes up.
i have tried three different types, all with bfn, so i daubt it will be any different tommorrow, but will do one anyway.
thanks again, x x

hi kelbabe thought i would let you know to not always trust hpt. i have just found out i am 12 weeks pregnant confirmed through a blood test!! i thought it would be fun to do a hpt as they have always sayed negative and right enough it is still negative!!! i am 12 weeks pregnant heard my babys heartbeat and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought i would add that i am still not having any symptoms with my first i was sooo sick but absolutely nothing with this one not even sore boobs!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow. congrats.
brings hope to loads of people who keep getting bfn's, my included obviously.
ill keep going with the hpt's till im near the time my next period would be due, then i'll go to the doc, if no bfp.
thanks for your post, it really has made me feel a bit better. x x x
