What's this I'm reading about ClearBlue Easy giving false positives? I know blue dye tests arent the most accurate, but I was being cheap. Help a sister out. Both mine were positive within minutes, then faded to an almost invisible light line after an hour or so.

** Update **
Oh, I'm soooo pregnant. Three falst positives would have been weird, but I got another brand, and Lo and Behold ... Baby #3 is due in May!

I have heard the same. A lot of women in the ttc forums swear by the dollar tree tests, they are cheap, accurate and sensitive.

good luck!!!!

I love the dollar tree tests! Can't beat the price, and they work just as well as the expensive ones. Keep us posted!

go to peeonastick.com and you can compare accuracy on all the brands of tests including generic drug store tests. its rare I read to get a false positive its usually way more common to get a false negative. after 5 -10 minutes the results are not useful anymore on my box in the directions it even said to throw away after 10 minutes so after an hr I would'nt count that as a reliable result. within 3 minutes is the result i would go by then buy another test like a twin pak and do it again later. I took 3 tests to be sure and it was a yes 2 clearblue and one generic drugstore test. good luck!
