    Believe it or not, cheaper tests tend to be more sensitive and can give results sooner. Here is a great site that explains it all: http://www.peeonastick.com/

    A false positive is very rare. False negatives are very common.

    So, if you got a positive result, I'd say congrats. :)

    The accuracy of an HPT increases exponentionally the longer you wait after missing a period. In the first week its less than 50%, increasing to over 95% after 2 weeks.

    It is very likely you are pregnant, I would wait about 6 more days and do another test. And/or go to the doctor for a blood test to be sure.
