Pregnancy tests, ovulation and ovulation tests
A bit of a weird question..

Hi ladies!
I have a question about dipsticks. Since I'm a bit (read: very!) test addict, I tried doing 3 tests with the same urine sample. I dipped one for 5 seconds, one for 10 seconds, and the third for 15 seconds. Now, a faint line appears on all of them, but it's clearest on the one dipped for 15 seconds. Does the dipstick pick up more hCG if you dip it for longer?
Greetings!

Yeah, sounds like it to me. Maybe it's comparable to sun exposure? If you're in the sun for 5 minutes, nothing happens, but if you're out there for hours, you get burned. It makes sense in my head
, but I'm not sure if I'm explaining it properly. -

I think so too, but I don't see the point. You can just do the test the right way. Then you'll get the best result!
