If You Have Ever Taken an Ept Test Apart?
I know your not supposed to take them apart but i have before and just a random question have you ever noticed 3 lines but it says negative? Or was it 3 lines and appeared to be positive? im talking | - | or | | | ( like that) of course there more spaced out.....
thanks :-D
It was a + - ept test ( blue dye) ive heard bad things about blue dyes too! With my son i took a 99 cent store one 1 day before my missed period the next day with a store brand
So What Happened?™
I do know that after 10 min they can turn into false positives( i personally have never had that happen) and I know you are not supposed to read them after the time frame! I meant to add taking them apart within the time frame after the results have been read.
I originally deleted the question because it seemed to have bothered everyone that i was talking about taking a test apart i figured it would save a lot of drama but it looked like it added some so i added the question back.

I would be one of those right with you taking the thing apart to see how it works. I love taking things apart to see how they work! I never have though, just not gotten around to it I guess.
Why on earth are people having an issue with you taking it apart?

Dissecting ept's? Hmm.
Grow up, no need to delete your question. The answer's remain.

Why would you take it apart? I'm so confused about your question. Plus why DO YOU PEOPLE JUST ERASE WHAT YOU SAY!!!?!?!? It is so annoying and (to me) juvenile to delete something, as if your trying to take bad what you said.

Wow! Posted 33 minutes ago and already erased? Sounds like you took apart the EPT tester? That would be something I would do just to see how it was put together so if that is WHY you erased the question I'm dissappointed because I want to know if it looked any different than what we would expect. Did you take it apart to save part of it? See now you are just causing more confusion and conjecture!

I opened up my tester thing, just to see a little test strip inside. I was curious what it was & how it worked & WHY THEY COST SO MUCH LOL. The test results dont always change, I saved mine for several hours & handed it to my hubby, thats how I told him I was pregnant... Now Im also wondering why you deleted such a recent question, and it doesnt even seem contoversal!
It sounds like the test you have was maybe defective. I havent seen multiple lines, but I also havent tried every test. The ones I did, the positive result was a different color than the control window. & only shows up if enough of the hormone is present.
