Not to mention what times of the day did you take them all?

They were ALL right after you woke up, the first time you peed that day? Weren't they?


If they weren't it means you wasted your money buying them..

None of those are "pregnancy symptoms" despite the false information you might have gotten on that (the internet is full of bad and incorrect information)... except for a missed period... there are no other symptoms for over 3 months AFTER it happens... and certainly none only a few weeks after.

Any test taken other than the first time you pee in the morning... is going to be inconclusive... your urine is too dilute when taken anytime other than when you first wake up after a full nights sleep and will result in a negative result even if you are. Even taken at the right time some women will still test negative for a month or more into her pregnancy.

If you have any doubt... you could request a doctor or Gynecologist do a blood test which would be more accurate..

False positives are very rare. The one that was positive was taken in the morning, first pee of the day. The other two, one was taken in the morning, the other in the evening (discount that result completely).

Fact is, false negatives are common, false positives aren't. I'd wait a week then test again using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait for your next scheduled period. If you miss it, test again using first morning urine, or get a blood test done.

Some women do feel symptoms early in pregnancy. To say that pregnancy symptoms start at 3 months is not accurate. But, the first symptom is usually a missed period, which you've already experienced. So you cannot discount the other symptoms you're feeling, they could be pregnancy related, especially since you had a positive test result.

The majority of the "symptoms" happen DURING the first 3 months. Sore breasts, morning sickness, tiredness, etc.

Exactly. That's when most women experience symptoms. By the second trimester things usually even out a bit. Not for everyone, some women have symptoms their entire pregnancy, but for most, things like morning sickness, fatigue, etc. are more prevalent in the first 3 months of pregnancy.

False positives are extremely rare, but they do happen. For now, treat yourself as if you are pregnant, just in case. Wait to see if your next period comes as expected. If not, wait two weeks then test using first morning urine.

Oops! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to J_9 again.

I couldn't agree more.

Treat yourself like you're pregnant, which means taking prenatal vitamins (available over the counter at your local pharmacy if you're in Canada or the US, not sure about other countries), no alcohol, no smoking. Treat your body like it's pregnant.

Wait for your next period. If you miss it, or it's off, test again using first morning urine, or get a blood test done at your doctors office.

Remember that false negatives are very common. It's very important that you test with first morning urine, and follow the directions of the test exactly.

Please let us know how it turns out, and good luck. :)
