I had bought the 2 test kit a while back and used one before. Now my last period was 44 days ago and I used the other test stick but I had thrown the instruction sheet out last time. It came out reading "See Leaflet" Anyone know what that could mean?
1. I am never late
2. Over 40... Could I just be going through the change?
Was at the Dr's office for my son and had the nurses do a preg. test and it came out negative. I talked to the Dr. b/c I haven't had a period since 1/26. He said it could just be a hormonal imbalance and not enough estrogen being produced. My son is 14 and I have a 2yr old that I am still nursing. So maybe with all that plus going on 43, hormonal changes are going on and possibly just going through early parts of the change.
I bought the same WalGreens preg test....it gave me a negative, but it was really positive. Don't trust the off brands. Go to the doctor or go buy a name brand. Good luck!
How old are your other 2 children? If they are older, you MAY be going through the change. However, I was 15 and my bro was 11 when My 40yo mom got preg with my suprise sister! Was there even the slightest possitive sign on the preg test? You can have a + test that is just really light. It has to do with the level of hormone. I would go to the $ store and buy another one. The $ store brand is really just as accurate as the expensive ones...they just can't detect early levels of hormone. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whitney,
I find this kind of humorous because this happened to me as well. It means the test is defective. You need to buy another test. For me it turned out that I was pregnant and we nicknamed our baby "Leaflet" for the longest time!
Good luck!

Sounds like change of life but could be as easy as something you're going thru that's affecting your nerves. If you're under more stress than you can handle. being late can happen. Any other symptoms of the change? Hot flashes, disoriented a little or confused, snap at things that you use to get thru easily? Etc
Hi Whitney,
This is an error message and it means the test did not funtion properly. The test stick cannot be reused. The "See leaflet" message will stay on the display for about 30 minutes. Once the words disappear, you can reuse the test holder with a new test stick.
Try again tomorrow morning!

To ease your worries, I would call the doctor and request a blood test. This way you will know for sure and can start you prenatal care. Good Luck!

according to consumer reports, First Response is the most accurate and reliable pregnancy test on the market. I would go redo the test with a First Response one. good luck
I would buy another test or go to the doctor - that's the only way to know.
It means you did something that doesn't agree with the test so you would most likely have to take another one. Maybe the test was laying on a flat surface and it didn't get an accurate reading or something of that nature. Take another one and lay it on a flat surface. Don't pick it up, don't shake it. Just let the results show when it's ready. Good Luck!
WJ... I am chuckling since my last pregnancy occurred at age 44 (suprise blessings DO happen). Go buy another test - spend a couple extra bucks and get a good brand name one. Sometimes those generic tests that come 2 in a package have one defective one, it's a rip-off.
Of course, call your doc's office - but I don't think you are going thru the change - you'd likely have hot flashes and other unpleasant symptoms.
Let us know what happens. ;0)
WJ, since you last bought the test awhile ago, it's probably expired. Either purchase another pregnancy test or go see you ob/gyn. Do you normally go 44 days in between periods, probably not. You may be pregnant. Jenn, RN.
Usually the "see leaflet" means the test wasn't able to able to get a strong reading which could mean a number of different things from not doing the test correctly, etc. You may want to just go get the blood test from the doc just to make sure. I'm sure it would ease your mind to know one way or the other! Good Luck!
