I think it would have been too early for a sonogram to show anything so a blood test would really be the best way to check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305964 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 08:19:34 +0000 mrsrain 2305964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be a bad batch? I've never heard of that brand, sorry! Hope they get back to you with the blood test results quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305943 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 08:02:24 +0000 Sharon 2305943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So then that many Evaps (though they appeared immediately) or false positives is possible? I guess from what I've been reading online, they're kind of rare. But that's why I'm asking - I don't believe them myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305940 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 07:55:58 +0000 Alivoo01 2305940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since the sonogram didn't show anything and the hospital urine pregnancy tests are coming back negative, I think they're false positives or evaps possibly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305928 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 07:45:10 +0000 Sharon 2305928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, then it's a terrible brand of Hpt!! It would have given me seven false positives now in a row, actual faint pink lines that appear immediately. What an awful test if they're false positives! Thanks for the input. 😊 I'm not holding my breath. The blood results tomorrow should put this to rest, and if they're negative too, I'll be posting some very bad reviews of this brand online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305913 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 07:34:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2305913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sharon: I've never heard of it but based on your example it sounds like it has false positives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-testmedica-home-pregnancy-test#post-2305867 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:04:46 +0000 Sharon 2305867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone! This is my first time posting to any board, though I've lurked for a while. 😊 I am 11 months postpartum from my first daughter's birth, and we are not trying to conceive (just using condoms at the time). Last week a couple days before period was due, I felt off, so tested using a Testmedica hpt that I ordered from iherb.com (I live in Taiwan and hpts are very expensive here! Iherb is my cheapest option). It showed a very, very faint positive line. I tested twice more, both the same result. However, the following two days were negative using local brand hpts.<br /> I then began bleeding right about when my period was due, so I gave up, thinking maybe it was a chemical.<br /> But I couldn't shake the "off"feeling I had, so I tested again in the middle of my period, with a Testmedica strip, and again a faint positive! Now I have gotten faint positive lines for four days in a row on this brand of test.<br /> I went to the doctor yesterday, and their urine test was negative, as well as showing nothing at all on a sonogram. They drew blood and will have results tomorrow.<br /> But I'm going mad because I took another Testmedica strip today, positive. With the same urine and a different local cheap brand, it was negative.<br /> Is the Testmedica brand of cheap test strips known for false positives? I can't find anything in a Google search. I'm so limited here in Taiwan. I'm mostly concerned about an ectopic pregnancy due to the heavy "period" bleeding I had.<br /> Sorry this is so long. Thanks for any input! 😊 </p>
