Default BEWARE of the FAR confirm clearly pregnancy tests!!! False positives!

Please don't even use these tests if you have them. I have been receiving alternating postives and negatives from this test. This caused me to question the accuracy of the test. I googled it and read of other false positives. I decided to try a test on my tap water. What do you know? My tap water produced a postive result. This test is a worthless peice of garbage.

Makes you wonder about your area's water filtration. Maybe some pregnant woman peed and it got recycled and not filtrated enough :P

I too got a false positive with this test. It was actually on the 18th (my birthday). I read the reviews after taking another test and receiving a negative and then the confirm clearly test again and receiving a negative. There are so many false positives with this test it should be pulled off the shelves. I can't imagine how people felt that received a positive and have been trying for a child, only to find out they were not. How awful.

Thank you for your post. I have been meaning to do the same. The company definitely needs to be reported. There is no way this test is 99% accurate.

Hows it going. I just wanted to let everyone know that I emailed the company with a complaint and this is the response that I received.

well, there is one way we can all fight back! Together!

Let's all get our $10 back from these scam artists. The ultimate double dip-- for a cause!!!! Everyone gather up your tests and mail the boxes back for some nice profit. Maybe if it hits them in the wallet they will understand the consumer will not tolerate this.

I understand these tests are not 100% accurate...but for crying out loud, she tested positive in her tap water.


I am definitely returning my boxes (I have 4-- whoho! $40!) -- thanks for your post with all the info. Stick with the known tried and true brands ladies.

Default false positive

OH MY GOD!!!

For a week I thought that I was pregnant! I had a false positive two weeks ago with this test! Both my doctor and I wondered what was going on when I started my period- I couldn't remember when my last one was. I was devastated because I did NOT want to be pregnant again!

Now to find that this stuff is garbage...........
