If memory serves, I used First Response three days befor expected period (faint pos.) Clear Blue on day of missed period (neg.) and first response again later that day (faint pos. though darker than first one). Thats when I called the 1 (800) number on the box and was told to give it a couple of days, but that there was hope as false positives are v. rare. Oh yeah, FYI, a day or so after the first faint positive, I tested first thing in the morning with First Response and it showed up neg. which I credited to the double dose of prenatal vit.s I'd taken the night before. (the whole stick turned yellow!)

I hope this info helps. I'm pulling for you Alison, please let me know how things work out. L
