Got a faint positive on the home kit and im not sure if i should believe it or not. My cousin said sometimes these can be false. Just want to understand before i get my hopes up too much.
Mine showed negative first and I was so confused, then positive a week later. I kept doubting the kit honestly. If yours feels off, just retest after a few days or get a blood test, it will settle your mind.
Home kits are quite good but timing matters a lot, too early gives wrong results. For a sure answer the lab beta hCG blood test is the gold standard. Just dont over rely on one faint line.
Yes, false negatives are common if you test too early or with diluted urine. False positives are rarer but can happen with expired kits or certain medicines. If you are unsure, a blood test at the lab gives the clearest answer.
