Curious about HPT.


Question Posted Tuesday March 13 2007, 8:12 pm

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!

No, do not take them with you to the doctors office.
They will run their own tests which are much more accurate.

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.
