    That means that you are pregnant.

    Reading the test is only accurate within the first few minutes after taking it. Most directions say 5 or 10 minutes after taking the test. Waiting longer than that is giving you a false reading.

    Once you take a test and get the result, throw it away.

    Yes, you let it lay around all day ?

    But yes it means it is positive. If you want a second check, do another check the next morning.
