sorry i was babbling so much i didn't answer the question yes i did use an asda one and it worked fine. Not as easy to use as the more expensive ones but gave the same result. Good luck

I use to work in a pharmacy which done pregnancy testing. I asked my pharmacist about this one day and basically all pregnancy tests test for the pregnancy hormone. If its present you are pregnant. There is no such thing as a false positive. You can get a false negative as you may have teste too early for the test to pick up the hormones but not a false positive. BUT i do say this as i have experienced it myself. There is such a thing as a chemical pregnancy. Basically you test around the day you are due get a positive then a few days later you have your period. Many people then think oh the test is wrong its not wrong its basically that conception has taken place but implantation hasn't occured and your body has not carried on with the pregnancy. Its only the recent years more and more women are having this occur because of the fact tests can be used so early now. This happened to me and the sad thing is it is not recognised by the medical proffession as a misscariage. I had this happen 2 months before i got pregnant this time. I tested the day i was due on and got a pos only to have my period 2 days later. Its an awful thing to get summit like that in your head and then for it to be taken away.

Now my doc recommended to me that when i miss a period to only test once a week has gone by so i dont get disapointed again and i would tell others to do the same as its all very well these companies saying their tests can be used from 2 days before a period is due etc etc cos they make money that way but its not worth going through what i went through.

Sorry so long ladies.

i used asda's own and got a dark line on both ( double pack did both as couldn't believe it only took 2 months lol).

sorry was meant to add

*which is why you may have a faint line. Test again in a few days*

The NHS have done an evalutaion report on over the counter hpt's and their findings on Asda hpts showed that Asda hpt's test 10mIU - 25mIU even though on the box it says 25mIU.

I personally found tescos hpts to be spot on

Thankyou well i did the other test this morning and the line is fainter than yesterday is that a bad thing?

Asda tests have always given me a clear result, when other tests were really faint I would get a nice strong +tive on an asda's own brand, so for the price I think they're great x

Congratulations x

Thats what i thought about not being able to get false positives but theres a couple of ladies on ttc forum and they did an asda test which was pos they then told all her family and friends, followed by a different test to confirm and it was neg i hope im worrying for no reason

lol, 4got to say, mine wasnt false. hence why im here lol

but it is VERY very unlikely, u will ever get a false positive. xx

i agree with mummyannie. They can't give false positives. The only thing that can happen is a false negative, you did the test wrong, or you read it wrong. If you're unsure hun then get a different brand. Clearblue digital is the easiest to read, or go to the docs and ask them to test you. HTH Ellie 13+1 x

I got my bfp with an asda test worked fine for me

the asda ones i used both showed up positive.

hi i have never used an asda test but i wanted to let u kno ive been told by my mw and doc that peg test cant give u a false positive only a false negative so id say congratulations

I used an asda test on the day my af was due and it had quite a dark line, so it worked fine for me x

I used the asda ones and on the monday when i did a test they were negative but when i did one on the tuesday with a cheap pound shop one it was positive. x x x

i never used asdas so i wouldnt know, the only thing i can suggest if your unsure, get a different brand and try again in a few days. goodluck and hope it works out for you

Hiya im just wondering what are peoples experiences of these tests? ive heard they give false positives does this happen often, ive just done one and theres a faint line but dont want to get too excited please help xxx
