Don't TRUST HPT Sticks!!!


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

How on earth is a POAS addict supposed to distinguish between a really faint BFP and an evap line when she keeps getting faint pink lines even after AF!!!!!!

Why can't they make HPT sticks that are TOTALLY WHITE with no possibility whatsoever of an EVAP Line!!!

I bet they would make a fortune!!!!!!!!!

It's an evap line I know, Boots brand. I'll post it later to show how you can still get little evaps no matter what time of the month you test!!

I WANT ALL WHITE TESTS!!!!!!

2 tiny thin pinky lines either side of where the strip is....very faint, came up really clearly after 10 mins, was just a fuzz before ten mins....

It's so frsutrating that you can't get test sticks that are pure white when they are wet or dry!!!!

Babe if you had a chemical last month it takes a while for the hormone to be out of your pee. I kept getting the slight CBs till way into AF, after AF and so on. In fact they didn't let on till a week ago or so (CD17 now I think).

I heard a whole bunch of tests got recalled because of a lost of false 'pregnant' women complaining. I would complain to the company via email or their website and maybe you will get a good explanation (And get their minds in the right direction for future products!!)

I hear ya, I tested yesterday and got a , looked away for like 6 minutes and then I saw the second line... but it wasn't there a minute ago! And then helen told me it was the evap line... and I was almost getting my hopes up! It's our feelings that they play with!

I agree 100%, there shouldn't be any evap lines!
(Or the digital ones should be cheaper, the ones that say 'Pregnant' or 'Not pregnant')
