Re: 'dollar store' HPT's

Just my opinion, but, I would think that these cheap hpt's would have a higher percentage of false NEGATIVES, because they may not be as sensitive as better tests in picking up the hormone in the urine. But I don't think a false positive would make sense. I would say you are prego, so CONGRATS!!! Considering your age especially, make an appointment right away with your doc. Your age alone makes you a high risk pregnancy.> GOOD LUCK! Peace, Lynn
