Hey, me too! Nursing for almost 15 mos now and I can't remember a darned thing. I also blame it on the hormones. :)

I would imagine they are both pretty definitive. Either the paper is blue or it isn't and the ferning is present or it's not. When I had what I thought was leaking during my 4th pregnancy, the doc used the litmus paper first but then double-checked with the microscope.
