Several false positives possible?


So, I'm wondering how common are false positives.  Today I took two equate (blue dye +) tests both very light, but positive *I think.  They are thick, not thin like some evaps.  And 2 days ago I used two of the ll tests and both were positive as well, although very faint.  FRER didn't work before and I'm hesitant to spend the money.  And $.88 ones at walmart aren't picking up anything.  Does anyone recommend the equate pink + tests? or ept?  I don't want to go bankrupt!  lol.  Thank you!

Get a clear blue digital. It will either say pregnant  or not pregnant. If its not pregnant then try again later. Saves you the Hassel of wondering if it's a faint positive, false positive etc

I took 5 tests (they were all 99p so was sceptical) and I am very much pregnant. If you want confirmation, visit your doctor who will hopefully confirm. When I visited my doctor after I had the positive tests, she made me do a urine sample and tested it before she referred me for my booking appointment with the midwife.

When I mentioned to her about taking so many tests, she said it is very rare to get a fake positive.

Congratulations :)

I always bought the dollar tree ones first, when those came positive I used the ones that said "pregnant" or " not pregnant". May just need a little more time...
