I took an HPT (home pregnancy test), and it read positive. My packet came with another HPT, so I took it two days later, and it was negative. Then a good while later, I looked into the trash can at it just to be sure and it was positive!
I've made an appointment with my doctor, but I wonder if I should bring in the HPTs? How long after using them do they keep? A few hours? Days, maybe? I can't seem to find any information on how long you can keep a used test, so anyone who might know, I'd really love the help!
The only thing I could find on how long the results last was that positive results last 24 hrs and negative results don't last. Not much help, but I think we can assume that after 24 hrs. the results
are no longer reliable. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
