All pregnancy tests should read the same

MommaEA

Ok, so I was such a hormonal mess yesterday and the day before that the girls at work were convinced that I was pregnant. I knew it was pretty much impossible with where I was in my cycle, but I also didn't want to be on I Didn't Know I was Pregnant. So, I POAS this morning just to reassure myself. When I got my BFP with E, the test gave a line for positive, no line for negative. I remember because it was super early in the morning, I was brushing my teeth and hardly had opened my eyes yet. I looked at the test and saw the control line in one window, and then thought, "wait the control line is in the other window" and then I did a double take. So anyway, this morning, when I picked the test back up, I saw a line in each window! I have to admit, I was a little excited, but in extreme disbelief and already freaking out about what DH would say. Then, I realized that this test gives a plus or minus. Shew! At least it woke me up.

i think we should just eliminate all this line no line bullshiit. every test ought to be digital with a whole freakin word there so there's no question.

same with OPKs. you can drive yourself nuts with the "is it darker than the control? darker than it was yesterday?" gaaah.

I agree. I hate the non digital ones because I hate that moment of "Is it a line?Am I just thinking it's a line? Should I wait to see if it gets darker? Did I pee on it enough..." Just give me a clear "pregnant" or "not pregnant".
