Help! Which cheapie HPTs have false positives.

jjtyler · September 2013

OK, so I am shaking right now and I'm a little scared.

I am about 11-13 DPO. I did not plan or do anything this month because it was end of summer craziness with the fact that my job is officially ending and I was working out severance deals and going on job interviews...and my 36th birthday.

I ordered pre-seed and a combo of 50 OPKS and 50 HPTs on Amazon.com. I don't know what brand name, I just assumed it was Wondfo because it was pink. As I mentioned, it came in a pink package labeled HCG...the actual exact writing from my bill is:

Combo 50 (LH) Ovulation & 20 (HCG) Pregnancy Test Strips
Health and Beauty
Sold by Test 'A-Sure

Anyway, I got them in the mail today and just decided to pee on one to get it out of the way because my period is due on Sunday and we didn't even really have sex that much this month (I have an issue of peeing on sticks when they are in the house LOL). Pretty quickly there was a line. I took another one...and line.

But, I also know that there are a lot of batches of these tests with False Positives. How do you tell the difference? Other than the obvious (get another PT test).

Help. I am in shock and it's a lot to process because I ended a job this week, my 8 year old started school, and I started a new one that I am planning on quitting because it appears that the CEO is a tad bi-polar and a little abusive to the staff and as her COO, I may strangle her.

What's the false positive stories I keep reading and what are the chances that this is it (cannot go out for a test until tomorrrow.

All I've read here says you will have to google the lot number to find out if the tests you have are false positive-prone. Other than that, waiting until tomorrow to get a FRER won't be the end of the world will it?

I know I have the batch that was giving false positives. It's wondfo but I don't know the lot numbers. I haven't gotten a positive so it hasn't happened to me.
If you think it's a false positive you can either wait until after you are late or go to the store and buy a different brand.
I hope it's really a BFP.
Good luck
