Don't use 'em!    I just read on a pregnancy message board that there have been a couple of lots that were giving out some serious false positives!!       I took 4 test from DG last month, all positive, but now I wonder if they were from the bad batch and I never actually was pregnant? I was 5 days late and had elevated temps, but I am still breastfeeding and only had one other cycle to go by (that I kept track of). UGH. Only the Lord knows, right?

On a brighter note, two fancy dancy digital e.p.t.'s read 'pregnant' after I took them on Monday! Results from a blood test taken yesterday confirm!

Congratulations! I'll be praying for you.

What was the brand name of bad tests? I have some "New Choice" tests from Dollar Tree - I hope they're accurate.

Kris, I guess they are both the New Choice and Baby Test. The ones I took were the Baby Test brand - they are basically the same things. It's really awful to think you lost a baby, and now not be so sure. I feel angry and stupid.

Lisa, it's very handy to be close enough to your midwife that you can call her and beg her to meet you at the birth center at 10pm and she obliges joyfully! She called around 10am with the good news! 24 hours! Very blessed!

Congratulations Lisa!

That is awful about the tests giving false positives, I am always so excited that I can get a pregnancy test for only $1, now I am not so sure.
Praying for your peace about the tests you took earlier and in thanksgiving for your new baby!

Congratulations! I will add you to my prayers.
That would make me want to cry about the other tests. I am sure you have.
