Please read my reply to your last post.

The science behind this test makes false negatives a possibility but rarely false positives unless you read it after it tells you you should.

Take a sample to the doctors if you don't believe it.

Its not that I don't believe it just don't wanna get all happy then to be told it was a false reading, and. Read the result within the 5min guidelines

It would be unusual. Be happy! But take a sample to the docs if you have any doubts just for your own piece of mind.

No I didn't have to. They took my word for it xx of course if you wanted to do one im sure that would be fine too xx

I've never heard of a false positive from a test....I'm not sure they are possible. So, sounds like it should be good news for you :-) congratulations and hope it all goes well at the docs to double check :D x
