Acuracy of Pregnancy tests... a request...?

Question

Okay... I am 22 weeks preganant with my second child. Confirmed... I was in the local dollar store, and as a joke bought a pregancy test from there and took it. Obviously i knew i was prego, but this said it was negative, i went back and bought 10 more, out of different boxes, hopeing for different lots. 9 more negative, one positive! I was shocked... I called the manifacturer and told them about the tests. They had no answer for me.
My question is that if any confirmed pregnant women will help with my inquiry, buy a cheap test and take it and tell the results....


Also if you wish to do this with any other brand please do, but post what brand, or if it was a dollar store one.

Answer 1

well i'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and to tell u the truth i actually found out i was preggo, by taking 3 preg. test from the 99 cents store not too far from my house- and they all tested positive within seconds! i also had my friends go to that same store when they thought they were pregnant and the results they got were true. i don't remember the brand name of the test but i'll tell u- they worked, and i was better than buying the usuall ept or first response- those were the ones i had false results with in the first place. weird right? but true..

Answer 2

you should circulate to a doctor ASAP. HCG hormone the single that turns a being pregnant attempt effective would not take 9 wks to get out of your device no remember how some distance alongside you have been. The longest it may take is approximately 4-6 wks or maybe thats somewhat long. It seems such as you're the two pregnant returned or they did no longer get each and all of the fetal tissue out. in the event that they didnt get each and all of the fetal tissue out it may bring about incredibly undesirable infections which could be existence threatening. i might deff see a doctor. by capacity of ways in case you in basic terms had an abortion and are suspecting a sparkling being pregnant you are able to desire to truly prepare safer intercourse. Having many abortions isn't in basic terms irresponsible and expensive yet be risky and reason scaring on your uterus. GL and wish this helped

Answer 3

My friend bought from the $$ store, and the same thing happened. She got a negative, but was actually positive.
Theres a 99% on the ones u buy at like target/walgreens etc...
even if theyre generic brands. If its even a bit lite its most likely positive.

Answer 4

I tooka dollar store pregnancy test and it came up negative I took an ept test a couple of hours later and it came up positive. I wouldnt rely on the dollor store test at all

Answer 5

When my wife was pregant, she had a test show negative, and then like the next day one was positive. They are not 100% accurate for sure. They were name brand tests of some kind.

Answer 6

okay, the tests are accurate till around 11 or 12 weeks, then the level of hormone on your body drops back off again but it goes back up again at about 22 weeks, so where you are now. Dont be too worried.

Answer 7

I got two positives with EPT Early Response - at 16 weeks pregnant.

Answer 8

With my first child I was 4 months and the test ($15.00) said neg. The tests you took were probably expired. My second child the test was accurate ($1.00).

Answer 9

I could be wrong, but I don't think those tests are meant to be taken that far into pregnancy. They test for hCG a hormone that is present in early pregnancy.

Answer 10
