2 positive hpt's and then a 1 negative a few days later?

Hmm..am I pregnant or not?? I had 2 tests that came out positive. I took another a day later, today and it showed negative. I also went to the doctor today and took a test there. It was a faint line but he said it's positive. I am thrilled but not convinced. The doctor wasn't too convincing. Am I being overly critical/hormonal? Should I take another test in the morning with the highest level of hcg?? 

 

Thanks for your feedback:)

That is confusing!  Yikes....you must be on an emotional roller coaster.  I would say keep testing.  Sounds like you are most likely pregnant!

were all the HPTs that you took, the same brands? 

It may be that it is just so early that your hcg levels are just getting high enough to have the tests register positive. As I took each test (I took 3) each day the line was darker and darker.

I would just retake another with FMU tomorrow or even wait another day just to be sure, but if doc says it's positive then I would consider it positive.  Congrats!

I'd recommend waiting a day or two and testing with FMU. When you test  during the day could make the difference between a positive and a negative result because of the varying hormone levels.

Did you use your first morning urine with each test?

Did you use pink or blue dye? (Blue dye is known for false positives)

I would get a First Response One Minute pink dye and test in the morning.

I recently had the same issue. Got online and saw a lot of people saying the blue dye hpt gave false positives known as "evaporation lines" so...I convinced myself for sure I must be crazy. I showed my husband the test and the line was so faint it was almost like I was willing it to be there. He didn't see it. So the same day mid afternoon pee I took the clearblue easy digital and it said PREGNANT. right there plain as day. ; hope this helps

I'd make an appointment, this happened to me and it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. Hoping it was just a wonky test for you though! GL

each test has a different threshold. there's a chance you are on the lower end of being able to pick it up (hence the faint positive)

It can also be affected by how much you drank prior to the test (and how long its been since you last peed)

if you're worried, then wait a day, first thing when you wake up, pee on a stick (best time of day to test) the "sooner" it claims to detect pregnancy, the lower the threshold is.
