,

FYI - you can *still* get a false positive on the AFP even if your dates are

right on. I knew my exact date of conception, all my ultrasounds were right on,

and the correct date was used in my test, and I still got a false positive. I

think they need to get a better test!! :-)

Just don't want you to worry (or freak out like I did) if the same thing happens

to you!

Ula

P.S. Sorry for the two e-mails on the same subject but I didn't mention in my

other mail that I knew my dates were right.

Thanks!!!! I too know EXACTLY when we conceived (not so romantic this

way) and they have been on target with all my appts, and ultrasounds,

etc.....
