what is wrong with these HPT's?

October 05, 2008

OK, im just curious, I bought Hpt's online. From a place I have bought before, and never had a problem. They are supposed to test at 10 MIU's which I thought was weird to begin with, but I bought them and OV tests as well. Anyways, I tested this morning, yes I know i am only 9DPO.... and its super early, but I had to try, lol, I have no patience at all. Anyways, this test takes a good 3 minutes being dipped in the FMU before the color starts to go across it. I have never had a test do this before, as it takes about 15 seconds or so for the color to cross the test and see the test line, but this test takes atleast 3 minutes before the color starts going across, is there something wrong with these tests???????? anyone experience this?

Sounds like these are faulty tests cause like you said most tests start working instantly and you can see the color start to cross over and also most tests give you the result in 3-5 min...not take 3 min before beginning to work.

Sar, that is what I thought, the other tests I bought from the same company a couple months back, worked just fine... and my ovulation tests work the same way, these tests are just weird... now im afraid they won't work right if I am pregnant, they might tell me its negative if it is positive, now I don't know if I can trust the tests??????

Bobbi... I agree and I think that u should call the ppl that u bought them from and let them know that there is something w/ the HPT's and see if they will give u ur $ back or send some other ones.

Have u tired using another one and see if it does the same thing or not?

Katie, yeah I tried 2 others and they all do the same thing! :( So I am emailing the company I bought them from, because I have never had any do this before, so hopefully they will be helpful and replace them. thanks for the help ladies! :)

I think you should just run to the store and get a test and take it :) Good luck!
