Reliable pregnancy test result?!?

[starburst_90]

Hi guys,

Currently ttc our second child as ds is now almost 3. I'm in my two week wait as we speak and 7 days away from my supposed next period.

Doing some serious symptom spotting and on day 3 of having extremely tender breasts so hoping that this is it for us.

A complete random question but this morning even though I had a feeling it would be too early, I poas on eBay cheapie and got a thick line which I thought was evap as there was very little if any colour to the second line. I went back to sleep after this and rechecked when I woke up to see the same result.

I decided to use another one to see if the same evap line would come up again. After I used this one I held the two together to compare and they accidentally touched. Some of the urine from the second test touched the first one and it started to soak up the liquid again. In a panic I put the stick down and the colour went slightly funny on the test. Once it had stopped soaking again however I had a rather pink line in the test section which was still faint but most definatley noticeable. As the other test was still showing a thick very very faint line which I don't see a lot of colour to and this one is now technically showing as positive I wondered how reliable this could actually be.

My heads all over the place but just wanted to know what you guys thought with regards to the possibility of the test doubling the levels if it had soaked up a second lot of urine.

Such a silly question and I probably know the answer already but worth an ask.

Thanks guys 😘

Well at 3dpo it would be impossible to see hcg in urine that fast since the bean has not even made it to the implant stage (blastocyst hatching from shell in order to implant, and being in the uterus no F tube to implant) that's usually 5-7 dpo
So unless you think you may have O'd sooner and be further along than 3dpo...I'd say it's not a true bfp.
I rewet used tests for fun a bit back, same day with a preggo friends super hcg (5 months) and the rewet ones either ran ink weird or the new urine washed away the faint lines i had seen before - weird. to you and GL!

If you accidentally touch two tests together you'll get a false positive

Go with a Frer.. Im always going to stick with these ones & very reliable. I did sime cheapie test strips last Friday & had some light pink positives & then Saturday morning had my period.. Wasnt sure if they were rubbish evaps (as frer showed up negative) Good luck though
