Question

FALSE POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST WITH EQUATE?

how many people have gotten false negs from the brand equate? i took one yesterday morning and it said positive almost immediately. the line was a little faint but you could still tell it was for sure a positive result. well i was thinking that is weird because me and my BF didnt have sex without a condom till march 28th so that would mean i would have had to have gotten prego like that night wouldnt it? we have had sex pretty much every night with out a condom since then but isnt that a little soon to tell? im also 7 days away from my missed period so wouldnt that make it even MORE hard to tell? idk just seems strange to find out so soon. would make sense if it was a false positive, but i also took 2 other tests that same day and they both came out positive the lines were a little harder to see, kinda had to hold em up in the light to see but ive never had this happen before the other times ive took neg tests....

Semen can live in your body for 3-5 days. Even if you didn't ovulate that night, you could have ovulated within 3-5 days of that first incident of unprotected sex. March 28th was like 18 days ago, so this would be the right timing to get a BFP. Both of your tests do look positive to me, so I'm thinking that you ovulated sooner than you think you did. Try taking a digital to see what it says but it looks like you're pregnant based on both of those tests. GL!
