Wait, now I'm freaking out re: blue dye tests

Ugh!!!  Why do I do this???

I just read that blue dye tests are not reliable and should not be used because they can give false positives?  Is this true?  I didn't think there was such a thing as a "false positive."  Both of my HPTs were with blue dye and they both showed lines.

I'm so scared now that they weren't in fact BFPs.

    blue dye testing has more of a chance of evaporation lines.  i also found most blue line tests didn't always get darker.  i never got a false + on blue line test.

    i would go get some first response w/ pink lines to make sure.

    i think you're fine but FRER are my fav HPT's

    Thank you Worms... I'm going to run out now.

    ARGH!  I'm so mad!  I had no idea there was a difference between blue and pink dye!

    Stay tuned....

    It's not going to be a majority of false positives, or they wouldn't be on the market.  I'd listen to worms and go get a first response.  GL!!!

    i never got a false positive on blue line tests but i will say they were darker than FRER (i po frer and target brand (blue) everyday) so I was worried when i got a line on target before frer, but really it turned out i did have a line on frer but didn't see it until after (like you know days after when you're not supposed to read it).  but i also started poas 3dp5dt (and got positive on blue) soooooooo anyway i would have to say you're pregnant dear!
