So for 3 weeks everytime i test i get the result of 9.8.

That seemed a bit odd , so i did a retest and it showed 6.2.
On my normal test kit it also shows 6.2 ish.

Why was the first test always wrong . I do was before and after i do the tests so what the heck ? lost two sps do to this .

Anyone came across this before ?

Yep - I have. I solved it that way that I always suck up 1 ml - press it back in the reagent container - suck up 1 ml - push it back again. Third time I suck up 1 ml and use that.
