I was concerned about magicalmom too. I know what a heartbreaking feeling it is.
Sometimes one gets so tired and life does feel unfair. But, the contrast, finally feeling that baby inside will be worth the heartache now.
Gina that sucks about them sending you the wrong tests. You could probably return them or maybe call them and they might send you a new free pack. It's worth a shot?
*Edit, sorry, re-read and saw you did that already. I'm kinda spacey today.
Velathria, it would be SO weird if that positive was a false positive. It was SO POSITIVE lol! I really hope that isn't the closest I get to a positive...ugh.
I just read this. It might help one of you later on or someone else who reads it. It did help lift my spirits while I am waiting to test again.

Best Answer: All pregnancy tests are made really cheaply, and even two from the same batch/box can have different sensitivities. ALL will be at least as sensitive as they are labeled (say 25mIU/mL) but one might be able to pick up a level of 10 while the other only picks up 25.
Also urinating more, drinking more, etc, etc can dilute the hCG. I would assume the positive is correct and take another test in 48 hours when your levels should have doubled. I would pee into a cup rather than doing the midstream method. If the pee isn't a medium yellow toss it out as it is too diluted and use urine from some other time. Even so 3 tests at $1 are cheaper than 1 test at $15. (which have the same problems).

9. I took another test and the line is lighter. Does this mean anything? Should it get darker? Not necessarily. In general, the positive line will be darker when a greater amount of hCG is present in the urine, but not always. Some tests contain more or less dye (meaning there is just more or less color to "stick" to your hCG.) Some tests are more or less sensitive-- even 2 tests in the same box can be different. Also, your urine may have more or less hCG in it depending on what you ate or drank, or how long it's been since you last peed. Food itself does not cause false results, but can affect how much urine you have and how dilute it is. Eating salty chips and drinking caffeine all day will result in more concentrated pee, whereas gorging on watermelon and ginger ale will result in lots of very dilute pee. But an HPT is not meant to tell you "how" pregnant you are. It only tells you if you are pregnant or not. As long as there is a line in the results window, you are pregnant.
Some women experiencing early miscarriages do notice their lines getting fainter or disappearing entirely, but even if your line gets fainter, it is not a guarantee that you are miscarrying, or that anything is wrong. See FAQ 21 for normal levels of hCG and how to properly measure it.
10. I took several tests and got both negatives and positives. What gives? See FAQ 9 above; there are many variables-- concentration of urine, sensitivity of the test. Since true false positives are pretty rare, if you get at least one positive HPT, you are probably pregnant. Wait a couple of days and test again or try another brand if you are suspect. If you suspect you have a true false positive (meaning you did not conceive and still got a positive), please share with us so we can let other women know about that brand!"
they might let you keep them plus give the money back
