E.P.T Error proof test, my ASS!
I took an E.P.T the other night and you can see what it showed on my profile. So I thought i was pregnant, well in fact I am not. I am confused, but how do they have the right to say that about the worst test ever! I took a blood test at dr's office and confirmed neg. less than 5. They say it is rare to get a false positive. guess i am the lucky one.

You read the test past the time limit, so I doubt they'll give you any money back. It's not so much a false positive as it is an evap/indent. Blue dye can leave things looking more shadowy, causing an optical illusion. Sorry you were let down, but that's why there are time limits on the tests(been a victim myself)

When you say "less than 5," do you know the exact number? I believe if it was greater than 1, you were pregnant but aren't any longer. HCG levels can rise and then fall off quickly if the pregnancy stops progressing. Maybe you can call the dr. if you don't know and see if it shows you were pregnant. Would at least give you an answer and a possible reason for the + test.

I think you should keep going to the doctor. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with my daughter. I took several home pregnancy tests that came back positive (7 different brands!) I went to the doctor and had both blood work and a urine test twice! Both times they told me I was not pregnant. I didn't understand why the test would say positive. After about 3 weeks of arguing with the doctor I finally got a confirmed test by blood work! My daughter is now 8 years old and perfectly healthy!
