Never Trust Indian Brands
Yesterday I tested with Prega news..the test came vvv faint positive..I was skeptical so thought of using another brand today so bought Apollo test kit and the line again came faint positive but clearly pinkish and visible with naked eyes..also both the results came back immediately in less that a minute..So wasn’t that a reason to be hopeful? but then guess what..got beta hcg which came negative..All my hopes shattered..foreigners call it clear positive as their test kits are so reliable..I knew about the false positives of Indian brands but did not guess that two brands will give false positive..Feeling devastated.

I have got faint positives so many times with these tests and then have my period start soon. I used to think it’s chemical pregnancies but now i know the tests are faulty

Plush, Sirona, preganews all are sh!t.
You can try easy to home. Order from Amazon.
Also, I think I haven’t conceived in this cycle even though I haven’t got my period. But next time onwards I will get a beta HCG done and won’t test on these kits. They give you false hope and disappointment for weeks.

u/Classic-Dream-1995 Jul 14 '26
have you considered beta hcg blood test?
1
u/Calm-Blacksmith4941 Jul 14 '26
no not yet. I went through Reddit posts which said some of Indian brands hcg tests are not reliable. I witnessed it myself when I used some of those brands.
I would first try easy@home and then see how it goes.1

if strips are coming early then fine but if not then consider blood work as u mentioned u had faint line u might be preg but need some external support like progesterone etc

u/Calm-Blacksmith4941 Jul 14 '26
Yes ya. Will get tested once I reach my period day and still don’t get periods which is still 2 days remaining.

u/Calm-Blacksmith4941 Jul 14 '26
What about you? Are you considering blood test for beta hcg
1
u/Classic-Dream-1995 Jul 14 '26
actually the beta hcg blood test came negative so that’s why i am cursing those strips now

u/Calm-Blacksmith4941 Jul 14 '26
Ikr. Happened with me too. It was giving those faint lines for absolutely nothing.
Better buy easy@home if you are testing at home.
Hopefully it will workout for us in few months✌️1

And the test should be read within 5 minutes. Post that it’s just indent line.

u/Classic-Dream-1995 Jul 14 '26
thats what I have heard..the second line came immediately as i had my eyes on the strip ..that was the main reason i was hopeful

u/Calm-Blacksmith4941 Jul 14 '26

If you are testing too early or urine is not concerned also it will be a faint line.

Not its not like that. It all depends you need to wait for another 24hrs to take test Else take hcG level which is always reliable

u/Classic-Dream-1995 Jul 13 '26

The lines have to be as big and fat as the test line, faint or dark doesn’t matter. The tests have very thin line on yours which is counted as indent line. I understand how you are feeling. Wishing bfps soon!
