EPT TEST QUESTION

lulubemadness

Well this is going to be a bit long, SO finally since id had stopedd breastfeeding I was thinking of some birth controls to try out.my first PPPeriod was coming (idk bout that yet) it eas a couple days and extremely light literally there was no point for a pad. Hubby and I had sex without protection(before ny light period)  so before getting on ANY BC I wanted to be 100% sure I wasnt pregnant first. I took a EPT with FMU today and there's a faint line. My question for you mamas out there is what was ypur experience with EPT? Did you ever received a false BFP ?(and just to add I did take A FRER which is my preferred test. But I took that a couple days ago and I dont think I seen any line.)

Id take another test with my first morning urine and see what happens. But there is definitely a line there!

I've never heard of a false BFP. I do agree with PP. Take one in the morning, if you are, it will be darker.

I took that ept early this morning soon as I woke. Should I use the FRER tomorrow morning?

FatPony

There are basically no false positives with a standard pregnancy test. Even a very faint line will indicate a positive. Try again with your first pee tomorrow morning, the line should be darker

Thankyou ladies. I'll keep updated. Little nervouse about it all, I mean I'm happy if I am and happy if not either way is great so we'll see!

Are you checking the tests within the specified window of time? Because that looks like a typical blue dye Evap line. Don't mean to be a downer if you're looking for a positive but as a LTTTCer I've taken quite a bit of PTs and a thin line in my experience is usually a dried test and an evap.

Pink dye I think is usually more reliable but even they will show a thin Evap line when they dry but it's usually a grayish color.

@yellow1daisy - LTTC?

I had two false positives with the blue dye tests. They got warmer the next morning too.

LTTTC= Long term trying to concieve @FatPony

It got darker later on I do look at it in time frame only thing is that its there but a very light in color blie line very faint not gray. That one later on was darker. (I lmow.I dont prefer blue dye ines either but hubby had a coupon for the epts so went ahead and got them haha, my preferred pregnancy test are First response ) no not TTC just wanting to make sure I'm not pregnant before I get on Birth control

Well I took another the same test ept and its got a very faint blue line (of course within time frame)  very faint tho. I just don't trust it tho haha I'm going to try first response in a couple days see if I also get a faint or not

@lulubemadness your obgyn should test you before prescribing BC anyway, so maybe just make an appt.  good luck!

The waiting is hard. Whether you want to be or not, it's impossible not knowing! I like First Response better too. Hopefully it gives you better answers
