positive test? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

[emma177]

I just took a pregnancy test and the second pink line came up but its VERY faint . does this mean im pregnant?

VERY QUICK ANSWER!

WHAT DO INSTRUCTIONS SAY!!!

once your aware of whether that line is a where positive result would read or just a control window then check how long you left test for before reading it, sometimes if left too long evaporation lines appear.

if you are still unsure then maybe test in couple of days and use a digital one

[emma177]

i waited 3 minutes and it came up in the right place.. its just very light but the instructions show two examples of a positive test. one with a dark pink line and one with a light pink line

[redcrx]

so it sounds to be like a very faint positive. It may just be that the pregnancy hormone isnt strong enough to show too much yet.

so are congratulations in order? :)

[redcrx]

emma? you ok?

hopefully youre off celebrating :)

[Lakitu]

She'll maybe be taking another test?

I'm pretty sure a line is a line, whether it's faint or not. I hope it's congratulations x

[MiniN]

congratulations emma, i hope a positive is what you were hoping for?

if I was you I would get another test and retest on the first pee tomorrow morning, or go see your nurse and get a test done with them

Nice one Emma.

hi Emma just read your other post too! So it is good news, congratulations you've made me very jealous!! Only joking I am trying for my 2nd child its only been for around 4 weeks but I did a test and it was negative. Its an awful feeling I have no patience and just want it to happen now! Anyway to answer your question I would definitely do another test to confirm it but usually even if a line is faint it means you are. Let us know and stay updated

[M-A-T-R-I-X]

celebrate without booze......as it will harm your unborn child.

congrats

I have a pregnancy testing kit in my bathroom and the instructions say "Two lines means you are probably pregnant (however, one line may be lighter than the other, they do not have to match)".

Therefore, your test is detecting pregnancy hormone in your urine, so you ARE pregnant. However, it is possible the line is light because there is not enough pregnancy hormone in your body yet because it is too early. Wait 3 days and do the test again and see if the line comes up faint again.

I too was puzzled by a faint line recently, on several pregnancy tests, even a weeks after my missed period. I say my GP and got a positive result but then miscarried at 8 weeks.

I asked a midwife about this and she told me that a faint line could mean that it is either too early to test or might indicate that the pregnancy is not established and therefore not producing enough hCG.

Best to speak to your GP. Good luck!

Very faint = boy

very distinct = girl

[emma177]

I went to the doctors and I am indeed pregnant.
