Pregnancy Info HOME

Just thought I'd let you all know my situation since I found this thread really helpful. My period is now almost 2 weeks late & I've taken 3 hpts -- 2 of which showed negative and the third didn't work (no lines at all). I spoke to the nurse at work who suggested that I wait at least a week, maybe two after a missed period before taking these tests because the hormone level in most women doesn't appear for that length of time. Just thought I'd pass that on -- I know it's hard but try and wait a while before taking these tests... after waiting just over a week, I took another test and it's positive!! (Remember, those tests are more likely to give false negatives than false positives!!) Good luck everyone!
