Blue dye pregnancy tests?

I took three blue dye pregnancy tests (equate brand), and all three were positive. Now, I'm reading that the blue dye ones give false positives all the time, so I'm worried! Has anyone had a positive on a blue dye test that was accurate? How many have had false positives on blue dye tests?

Update:

Well, I went and got a First Response and it's positive too. Guess I really am pregnant! Woohoo!!! Thanks everyone! :)

    In my personal opinion and experience, I don't like them. I took a clear blue easy blue dye test 2 weeks after my missed period and it said negative... with an evaporation line showing up 5 minutes later... they SUCK!!! then i took a first response the next day and got a DARK line. my recommendation is to avoid blue dye tests... use first response... a little pricey by to me are much better.

    Even if the Equate brand DO give false positives (which I wasn't aware of), doesn't mean that THREE different tests would be defective.

    If you really are concerned, go buy a different brand test. The ClearBlue (digital or the regular ones) are VERY accurate. Or you could go to a Doctor or Health Department and have a blood pregnancy test done.

    If it is any concelation I have been there, My last pregnancy I was freaking out, I had blood work done when I was 2 days late it said negative, over the next week I took 8 tests and finaly on day 11 of being late I got a BFP. Dont rush it though, your stress could be delaying the responce of your HCG lvls. Just wait till monday and try again :) ****Baby Dust****

    Why don't you just try taking a different test, or better yet, go to a doctor? Doctors are very accurate.
