Took a home test yesterday and it showed faint positive, but mujhe abhi tak believe nahi ho raha. Can these strips give wrong result sometimes? Should i repeat it?
Mine actually showed negative first, and I went and ate spicy street food thinking I wasn't pregnant! Tested again after 4 days and it was a strong positive. So yes, they can definitely be wrong if you test too early.
Absolutely, a false negative is quite common if your cycle shifted. Track your ovulation on an app and test exactly 14 days after it, or just wait for a week after your missed period. Modern digital tests are usually more accurate too.
Cheap strip tests can sometimes give faint lines or errors if they are expired. Instead of wasting money on multiple kits, wait for 2-3 days and get a simple blood test at a local lab. It's much cheaper and gives 100% accurate results without the guesswork.
Yes, home tests can sometimes show a false negative if done too early, especially if ovulation was late. I know how stressful waiting for results is. It is best to get a beta hCG blood test done for accurate confirmation, sending you hugs.
