how accurate are the thin hcg strips?

Question

how long do you think it would have to be before one of those showed positive? this is my situation: I have been spotting for 9 days. only brown and only one pantyliner a day. AF was due 6 days ago. so far no red blood and nothing more than one pantyliner per day. took one of those hcg test strip tests last night: negative. took one first thing this morning: also negative. what could be going on? Do you think it's still too early for that type of test?

Answer

me too. And with being 6 days late you would think they would definitely say positive if pregnant. very discouraging and makes you feel crazy.

Answer

I got the 20 pack for $8 on amazon and all are negative and I’m 5 days late. Might go back to getting the expensive ones. I hate waiting😑

Answer

i think i gor mine off ebay it was like 50 of them for 5 bucks. im just so confused. with my last pregnancies i didnt have this problem.

Answer

I use a brand from amazon, 25 for $7. And I got my positive 3 days before AF was due. Mine was accurate.
