confused

I had taken a pregnancy test and it came up negative so I layed it in my cabinet and forgot about it. two days later I found it and it had a positive reading on it. What does this mean and does the test change after a few days?

Oh and to add to that I was 12 dpo and my HCG about 5 days later was 15,000!!!! So very high!! Again, just depends on the test!

What test was it? I can tell you by the brand if it's an evap or a positive, not with 100% certainty but I've taken so many that I'm well aware of which ones give you readings after a long period of time. I've had it happen with two pregnancies, even this one Im pregnant with now. The tes was NEGATIVE I mean real negative, I held it in my hand and it took that sucker forever to change to a positive. It depends on the test.

do not take that at a positive that is whats called an evaporation line a positive should come up in the time limit the test says I would take another one and check that. sorry to burst ur bubble i know if u want a baby that pos brought a smile

You're not supposed to read them outside of the time limit. But just in case I would retest. I took a test with this pregnancy and threw it out after a couple minutes because it appeared negative. Next day I saw it again and it had a very faint positive. I freaked and bought another test and sure enough it was positive. Got my blood drawn the next day and my hcg level was at 42.

They give you a time frame of 10 minutes I believe. (check the box to see what theirs says) Anything beyond that is inaccurate and should not be read.
