Well, I think the website is saying that because there are women out there who think it's alright to test the like the day you ovulate expecting for it to be positive and are disappointed that it is not. No, you could be 12 weeks pregnant and will still get a positive hpt. Some women haven't even gotten a positive hpt test 2 weeks after their missed period and still gotten a negative when they really are pregnant. It's not common, but I have heard stories. Go ahead and test now if you're past your expected period day and nothing has happened. Good luck!
**** now i am even more confused. i went to peeonastick.com and it says you should only test between 8-16 days past ovulation. getting a positive result before or after happens but is not common.
so does this mean, since I am potentially past that by a lot, that I will not get a true result with an HPT???
That heat from your car can change the make-up of the testing chemicals used to detect the pregnancy hormone in your urine. They should all say on the box to keep away from heat and store in a dry area around 65 to 72 degrees F. Cars can get over 100 degrees in the hot summer, so I would disregard that test. If you don't get that strong indicator line, then the test is damaged and shouldn't be used. Go to www.peeonastick.com, this might answer some of your tests. They have tests of hpts against eachother and shows you the good and bad of different brands.
Sounds like the website is confused. The further along you are
in pregnancy the darker the result. Maybe you should try a
HPT and see what happens.
I would suggest buying another HPT and testing again since you are unsure of the expiration date of the one you took. The climate change was probably not good on the HPT. Take another one and see what that one says. If you still are unsure about the results then go to you OB/GYN and have a blood test done. Best of Luck!
