Hello all!
I am new here, just a few months so far TTC so I know patience is a virtue at this point!
I have seen all the frustrations about the blue dye EPTs and know all the basics of evap lines and all of that!
What I want to know is, is anyone familiar with false positives on a Walgreens EPT?? (Actual false positive - pee for 5 seconds on the stick, wait 2 minutes, wonderful solid blue line albeit slightly lighter than the control line, still there days later, read the test in the 2-10 minute window and the line was blue and DH was right there to confirm it wasn't a hallucination and was in the limited 2-10 minute window).
Last weekend I had THREE what I thought were BFP! One at night, one the next morning and one the day after that in the afternoon.
Went to Dr and got 2 BFN tests. I was so disappointed I didn't even think to ask for a blood test.
I know there can be evap lines and misdone tests and even faulty tests...but 3 what look like legit BFP in a row?! Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance and good luck to all TTC!

To be clear, I don't expect, nor did I ask anyone on an Internet forum to tell me if I am pregnant LOL!!
I just want to know if this is a common error with Walgreens tests so I know not to use them again or if it was freak lighting!
Good luck to you
If you didn't get your period I'd get a new type of test and do what the meme says^^^

@eggplantface the walgreens tests are blue dye tests, which brings me back to my original question...are those not accurate? (again, not evap lines, just straight up 2 minutes after peeing on the stick blue line). I will check out those other tests - the price of drugstore even generic adds up so fast!!
Good luck! If you end up sticking around, read the newbie guide and tell us about yourself in the weekly intro post! ☺
I am going to get the ones off Amazon!
People dirty-delete posts like yours all the time. It's totally standard for a qfp. Hot tip, maybe don't come into an established community, claim you lurked but post something that you wouldn't have if you had actually lurked, and criticize a regular? We're happy to have new people but not at the expense of regulars.

If old timers @adirat @cheframsay and @heatherdubrow cared to use their apparent long-time status here to point me in the direction of some board I missed in several days of going through various threads and general Google searches and key word searches here, including searching terms like "Walgreens" I will be happy to follow you all leading the way!
If for now you just get off on roasting newbs without actually addressing their questions, well, you lovelies do you. Ain't nobody got time for internet bullies at our age! LOL
After learning that the Walgreens tests apparently can actually be faulty, I filed a complaint with them and know to never use those tests again! And obviously I don't recommend them for anyone else!
Good luck to you all!!
What we are big on is snarky gifs.
I'm seriously laughing at being called out.

1. Your question was answered -- comprehensively, in my opinion. I don't have more to add than PPs already did.
2. I actually had no problem until you criticized someone for QFPing. If you had lurked, you would know that this happens in most posts because of how often dirty deletes happen. It's just the nature of the beast. And like I said, I had no problem -- but I do have a problem with new posters criticizing my friends on here.
3. If you had lurked, you would have known that your post both needed a TW and that it isn't kind or socially graceful to put a BFP in the title of your post when you are posting here. I give you credit for hearing those responses and changing your post title. But the fact remains that I doubt you lurked by the way you titled this post originally.
4. Like I said in my first post, we are happy to have new people. I welcome anyone here in good faith. But based on your responses now, I don't really think that you are.

Thank you!!!
OP no one roasted you, actually they were super tame considering your ignoring board culture despite insisting you lurked well enough to know it. You were the one who was rude calling out a valued member of this group for quoting you, which again if you had actually lurked you would know is done regularly here and does not denote any animosity.
Give an honest apology and join the weekly threads. You'll learn a ton from these amazing women.

You're normal until you're not. If spotting isn't common for you and you're not KTFU, you should probably go to the dr for an sti screening. https://www.girlshealth.gov/body/sti/symptoms.html Ooh look I did the googling for you!
