positive pregnancy test after the time limit and missing period

Hi,
I am 2 days late for my period and I took a pregnancy test this morning using clear blue. The one which shows +/- signs. For 2 mins nothing showed up. I just threw it. Later when my husband looked at it after few hours I guess there was a faint vertical line indicating positive. My period is usually 27 to 31 days. I am on 32nd day. For the last two months I had em on 28th day I guess. Can I rely on this till I get another test?

I got my periods this morning so you were right it was a wrong result. I just thought of replying so that if someone else see this post they will know.
Thanks

Morning

Sorry but as the tests work you can not take a reading after 10min then its not valid. Maybe you should retest or go see your DR!

Good Luck :)

Results are invalid after a certain amount of time I think five minutes

i wouldnt... I would just take another test... if you are already "late" like you say you are.. then a test should already show you results... but i would test about 5 days after your missed period just to be more sure...
