ANYONE TAKEN EQUATE PG TEST

[NOTCERTAIN]

HEY, JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE EQUATE PREGNANCY TEST. I TOOK IT AND IT SAYS NEGATIVE. YET I HAVE EVERY SYMPTOM AND NO PERIOD. IM NEVER LATE UNLESS IM PG. AND NO I WAS NOT TRYING NOR HAVE I BEEN SO ITS NOT ALL IN MY HEAD. I HAVE 4 KIDS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER TAKEN THIS BRAND. WHAT I READ ON IT ELSE WHERE IS THAT IT GIVES A LOT OF FALSE NEGATIVES AND FALSE POSITIVES. ANYONE HAVE ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH IT.
THANKS

I believe I did take an equate test and it was positive and I was pregnant.  Did you use first morning urine???  If not, I strongly recommend it.  Especially with the cheaper brands.  You will get a more accurate reading because the HCG levels are higher in the morning due to the urine being stored in your body all night.  I know most of the tests now say you don't have to, but I always use first morning urine and I have never gotten a wrong result.  But every now and then a defective test gets put on the shelf.  It happens.  I would get an off brand early response test and use first morning urine.  If it still comes out negative and still no period, I'd test again a few days later.  Best of luck!!!

i've also taken the equate brand (and the target brand too) for all 4 pregnancies and i've never had a wrong reading either (they all said positive).  good luck to you NOTCERTAIN.

I have taken equate several times when I found I was pregnant. I really don't like them that much but they were all positive. I was maybe 2 days late for my period. Personally, I never had any problems with them. Have you tried anyother brand yet?
