On 12dpo, i took an equate hpt, it came out faintly ++, but on the same day i started my period or bled?  it was about the same as a regular period, it never soaked a pad it was mostly on the toilet paper or dripped while urinating.  Then on 14dpo, i stopped bleeding and did another equate hpt and it still said +++.  i am now on 16dpo and i have tried 3 other brands of hpt and all say ----.  Why would that have said + if i wasnt?  Could it still be to early for other brands to say +++?  What is the latest that i could take an hpt and trust that it is ----? could there be something wrong to where my hcg isnt increasing?  I cant get into my dr for a week so i am very nervous and curious if i am pregnant or not and if something could be wrong.  Please help and thank you so much for your time.  Signed,  confused, frustrated, and going crazy from thinking and wondering 24-7....tammy
