DON'T use Target blue dye tests, Up and Up brand.  I had heard bad things about Target brand blue dye tests, a different store brand.  If you missed my one post, about 3 weeks ago DH and I had a condom mishap...  Lately I've been crampy with a lot of headaches.  I decided to test yesterday...note- I do not want to be pregnant, Sage is only 11 weeks, BUT if I was it would be ok....

I bought a 2 pack of these tests, BOTH came up positive in the matter of a minute or two... yesterday I was beside myself with worry thinking I was pregnant.  I wasn't sad because of another baby, I was sad thinking I wouldn't be able to spend the first year of my baby's life focusing on her.

Thank goodness DH was doubtful..  He went out and bought 2 EPT digital tests, the same ones I took last year when I was only 9 DPO so I knew they were very sensitive.  I took one last night and one this morning with FMU, both negative.

I know a lot of ladies are TTC here, if I had taken this when I wanted to be pregnant I would have been VERY upset to learn I wasn't.  These effin things need to be pulled of the shelf!!!!!!!

omg at having a scare so early out.
I know i too have heard of the blue dye tests being known for false positives. Will u be testing again with different tests? just to make sure its the target tests that were wrong and not the digital ones?

good luck =)

Men have peed on various brands of blue dye tests and according to the tests, were pregnant.  ANY blue dye test, regardless of brand is considered extremely unreliable in the TTC world.  Stay far, far away!

Um, I don't wanna scare you. I took FRER's and a few other tests that were all positive. The only ones that didn't come up were EPT's. Try another brand just to make sure.

I took EPT tests twice and they were both negative... and then... pregnant!!! I would take another one, just in case. I heard you will never test a false positive but will in fact test a false negative so be careful.
