Try not to go insane now. Thats what your baby is for. All pregnancy tests reflect the presence of the hormone HCG, as you almost certainly know. Different tests have different sensitivities, and I really don't know about this particular test. If you still have not had any vaginal bleeding by Tuesday, repeat the test. If it is positive, well there you go. If it is negative, consult your physician. A quantitative HCG (as opposed to the qualitative HCG which is the HPT) may settle the matter for you.
