Woman claims she took apart her negative pregnancy test only to find out it was actually positive

A woman has claimed that she took apart a negative pregnancy test and found out that it was actually positive.

Taisen Terra, from Boynton Beach, Florida, recently explained on TikTok that she and her partner, Blake Cassandra, are in the midst of trying to conceive.

The Florida native, who is already a mom to a one-year-old daughter, said she decided to take a Clearblue digital pregnancy test seven days after ovulation.

It said ‘not pregnant’ on the results screen, but Taisen wanted to be sure, so she decided to open it up and pull out the test strip – and what she saw took her by surprise. 

She noticed an extremely faint second line on the strip, which she believed indicated that she was indeed pregnant.

‘I took this apart like I’ve seen people do because I’m crazy too,’ she said in the video, which showed the test in pieces next to a pair of scissors. 

‘There is definitely two lines on this. Please tell me you see that second faint line. It’s there. Does it only detect it if the blue line is really dark maybe?’

In a follow-up video posted three days later, Taisen revealed that two new digital tests confirmed that she was expecting. 

Many people flooded to the comment section of the first video, which was viewed more than 337,000 times, to share their own stories with false negative pregnancy tests.

‘I found out I was pregnant with my twins this way,’ one person wrote. ‘It is def true.’ 

‘I found out I was pregnant this way as well,’ said someone else. ‘It was just too early for the test to recognize. You are not crazy.’

Another user added, ‘Mine has done the same in both of my pregnancies. I think the line is too light for it to read it correctly so I stopped doing digitals.’

‘Yeah this is how I found out I was pregnant too,’ read a fourth comment. ‘You should always go to the doctor when this happens.’

But unfortunately, later in the week, Taisen posted another TikTok and revealed that she had lost the baby.

She explained that she had experienced ‘a lot’ of bleeding and felt like something was ‘not right’ so she went to the doctor to get an ultrasound, and she was told that ‘there was nothing up there’ anymore.

She said she had something known as a ‘chemical pregnancy,’ which is ‘a pregnancy loss that happens before the fifth week,’ per My Cleveland Clinic.

‘It was a rough week,’ she said. ‘I thought I was pregnant for like a week, I had all this excitement for a week.

‘The only good thing I can say about this is that it happened very early. I was pregnant but when the egg and sperm went to fertilize in the uterus, one of them wasn’t strong enough.’
