the ept pregnancy test said "pregnant". should I assume I am and get my hopes up?

Question

or not. how accurate are those things is basically what i'm asking. I'm super excited but then i'm like "what if this test is bull".

thanks

ps...i tested today when i am already 3 days late. (with my menses that is)

Answer 1

You are pregnant.

The fact that the line showed positive, means there is the pregnancy hormone in your body.

Even a faint line is a pregnant line.

Congrats mommy.

Answer 2

Well, if you got a pregnant, you are more than likely pregnant! I took several tests, like 3 were Equate brand and they were all positive, and one was EPT and it was positive. They are 99% accurate! And if you go to the dr. it is the same thing they do. Just like a home pregnancy test! So, guess what!!! Your pregnant!!! Congratulations! Now, make your appoitment!

Answer 3

Well I would trust the test and say CONGRATULATIONS.... I myself tested with the EPT with my daughter and it said pregnant.. I retested 5 more times before it finally hit me the first test was correct.. With my son "this pregnancy" I tested using the Clear Blue and it said pregnant as well. Went to the doctor and it was confirmed.. I am now 26 weeks.. If you feel you got a false negative then retest, but please be advised false negatives are very very rare... Congratulations. Now all you have to do is get started on prenatal care.. The sooner the better....

Answer 4

Its next to impossible to have a false positive. The test is searching for specific hormones. Sometimes your levels are too low at first to get a positive reading. That's why people get false negatives. But if the test "finds" any trace of those hormones.... well, you can't fake those, so its VERY accurate. Assuming you didn't VERY recently give birth, CONGRATULATIONS, you're pregnant!

Answer 5

False positives are VERY rare. I would say Congratulations are in order!

I understand how you feel, though. I have two children, ages 9 and 7, and am now expecting our third child after MANY years of TTC. It took literally more than TWO DOZEN tests, including several blood tests, to convince me I was pregnant! And I was still scared that it was not real until I saw my baby's heart beating on the ultrasound.

Congratulations!

Answer 6

Let's put it this way...my wife used EPT when she was late for the first when we were trying to have a baby. She took the test and it was positive. Then she when to see the doctor for confirmation that same day. And they used the exact same test!

In other words, congratulations!

Answer 7

I was told by a nurse once and read online that you're more likely to get a false negative than a false positive. A doctor will be able to tell you for sure at around 8 weeks, either by blood test, as with my second pregnancy, or ultrasound as with my first.

Answer 8

Congrats your pregnant! As long as you followed the directions the chances of false positive is slim to none. Call your doctor tomorrow to set up and appointment to confirm. I know what you are going through I couldn't fully grasp that I was pregnant till we had an ultrasound at 10 weeks. The second that image popped up on the screen I was like "WOW this is for real". Lots of luck to you!

Answer 9

I took 3 ept tests and they all were positive. I definitely was! :-) The doctor told me that at home test are very accurate now. But see your doctor that way you can be sure/.

Answer 10

congrats mommy time to get excited! pregnancy tests are 99% accurate so the odds are definitely on your side! I didn't trust the pregnancy test either, went to the doctor and yep I'm pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 11

I think it means test Gods power. Like when Satan tempted Jesus to jump off a cliff and said won't God save you? And was provoking Jesus. There is actually scripture somewhere, not sure where, that says how to test a spirit whether or not it is from God. Anyone want to bother looking for it? Its near the end of the Bible somewhere.
