I tested at home and got two lines but a faint second one, so now im second guessing the whole thing. How reliable are these kits really? thinking of testing again to be sure.
My doctor said the kits are around 97 percent accurate when used correctly, the key is timing and using concentrated morning urine. Early testing or diluted urine throws it off. For full confirmation she still does a beta hCG blood test.
They work well yaar, just wait till youve missed your period and test in the morning. If you get a faint line dont panic, retest in 2 days. And if youre still unsure just go get a blood test, dont stress too much.
Home kits are quite accurate if you use them right, mainly with first morning urine and after your period is actually missed. Testing too early gives false negatives. If youre unsure, a blood test at the doctor confirms it fully.
I felt so nervous doing mine, i actually did it twice to be sure. Both came positive and the doctor confirmed it later. They are reliable but i totally get the urge to double check, its such an emotional moment.
With my irregular cycles the kit was tricky because i never knew the right day to test, so i got a couple of confusing results. For me a blood test was more reliable. If yours feels unclear, ask your gynac for the blood test.
