Best pregnancy test?!

I used the Superdrug home brand as a test and came up positive, but then went negative?! So I did another one using Tescos test and that came up negative so I waited a week, after my bleed, and it still came back negative again?

Am I pregnant? I have all signs and what's the best test to use?

Was the original test you used blue dye? I have used the superdrug blue dye ones and they appear to look positive when they are not. I find pink dye ones the best. If in doubt, get a digital one. Boots own brand picked my pregnancy up early this time around and they were buy one get one free!

Did you read the test within the recommended time frame? Sometimes if left too long then you can get an evaporation line. Yes good idea. Try that!

Yeah the box said 3 minutes and everyone I showed said it said two lines and then it went negative afterwards? And thank you!

That's odd! Maybe if it's early then there isn't enough of the hormone to hold the dye? Sounds promising though! Keep us updated ☺

First I used cheep tests from Home Bargain (2tests in one pack for £0,75) it was 2 days after my missed period and both were positive. Then I bought Clearblue just to be sure how far I am in (though I knew when I ovulated) - and it came up as 2+ weeks 😊

Good luck!x
