morgan_minx80's picture

Iv been feeling fine. My period is due today. Iv done a test (do one every month because of having a few pregnancy scares) well iv did a test and the 1 line is strong but there is also a very faint line as well. Iv done another and it's the same. Does this indicate it's positive?

4 tests later and yes they are all positive. It's official, im pregnant Smile just shocked more than anything cause I was on the pill. We are both thrilled at the moment. Im only about 4 weeks gone. Step kids dont know yet, but they have been asking wether they will be getting a new brother or sister so we think they will be thrilled hopefully x

Since it isn't really early (as your AF was due today), then I would say yes its positive. Is this a good thing or bad thing....?

ETA: Some tests are 'blue dye' tests that are notorious for having evap lines. If its faint and you're using one of those - like ClearBlue brand- try using a pink dye test( like First Response). If there's still two lines I'd say you're preggo.

Yes it does. When it's faint that means there is not enough of the hormone to make it strong (you can be very early in pregnancy). In my experience even the faintest line is a positive.

So, are you happy about it then? Or would you rather not be? Just curious as you said 'pregnancy scare' in the op.

I would say that, yes you are pregnant if you have a second pink line on the test. The Hcg is probably still pretty low in your system and that is why the line is faint. I would test again first thing in the morning. The line will probably be darker.

I hope this is a good thing for you and good luck!!

You could wait a while and take another store-bought one, or you could go to a doc and have them do one for you. The only one I ever took I was at about 20 weeks, both lines showed up clear as day before I got off the seat.

Made it all the way to 20 weeks without knowing? That sounds like a great story.

OP, I'd say you are pregnant if there is a second line. Congrats!

We have had a pregnancy scare before yes. Im still in shock at the moment, as is SO. We do want kids but now is definately not the right time. Going to do another one in a few days

It might not be a great time, but I'm a believer that things always work themselves out. Congrats Smile
