How accurate are pregnancy tests?

[Souljah]

Hi

The girl I'm with hasn't had her period for 9 weeks now, she took a pregnancy test 2 weeks ago and got faded lines more toward the positive side. She took another one 2 days ago and go more faded lines but more in the negative (one strong the other faded - something like that)

So she went to the doctor today, who told her its probably stress, after just performing another pregnancy test with MORE faded lines. She told me this a while ago too but said its never been more than a month. The Dr said to come back in december if she still hadnt had a period and she'd get a blood test..

We've been having sex without a condom (after both being tested to make sure). Alsmost every time I ejaculate outside, but a couple of times have been borderline, though she didnt seem too worried despite me telling her to get a morning after to be sure.

She's also been getting belly pains and a little sick at odd times, which made me think she might be pregnant.

She has been through a lot of stress lately, she moved over here 10 weeks ago and has had alot of work to cope with (she's a solicitor)

I'm just confused and want to find a way of knowing for sure. Is there a sure way of knowing?
I'm quite young to be a father but for some reason I got my hopes up thinking she was pregnant.

im surprised the DR just didn't go ahead and do a blood test...eh oh well.
If I were you, I wouldn't buy the one w/ the confusing detector. Buy like 2-3 different brands of tests. There is one now that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant"
That is what I would do instead of trying to decipher the faded lines.
good luck

If you are placing an uncovered penis in an unprotected vagina, she will eventually be pregnant. I do not care where you ejaculate, there are millions of sperm being transferred into her.

Your questio: The data sheet with the test should give the the experimental accuracy of the test. They are mostly pretty good. Demon's advice to use a couple different ones is good.

Beyond that, she has to deal with her doctor.
