Am I Pregnant

Hi Aleisha!

I would call your doctor and explain what happened to them and ask that you come in for a blood test to confirm your pregnancy! I have learned that even if you can barley see the line it means it is a positive! I took a test last time and the line was really faint and I threw it away thinking I wasn't pregnant when in fact I was! I would say you are pretty safe to think that you are especially if the digital one said pregnant! Good luck and let us know! :)

Hi well congrats you are pregnant go to peeonastick.com and you will get tons of advice about hpts (home pregnancy test) I love this website! A lot of info can be found the hpt detect hcg(preg horma) at differnt levels so one might be 25imu another at 100imu so it just depends on the test a line is a line no matter how faint and that is a positive!!! Please email and let me know if this is helpful! Thanks S.

Maybe you should just go to your OB/GYN to confirm rather than continuously buying home tests...

Hello Aleisha,

Sounds like a trip to the doctor's is needed. Let him do a pregnancy test using blood, then you'll know for sure, one way or the other.

Good Luck

Aleisha,

I would suggest going to the doctor to confirm. If you took the other two tests and they were positive and done in the morning, I would say you have a good chance of being pregnant. If you took an EPT test in the afternoon, you may not have had enough HCG in your urine (in the early stages of pregnancy) to register a positive result. I, for one, never had any luck with EPT.

But, make an appt and let the doctor confirm. And, God Bless and good luck! That's so exciting!

I had a similar situation. Are you really early on in your prgnancy? If so, you are probably too early for the EPT test to pick it up. If I had to guess, I would say you are probably pregnant. But to make sure, wait a couple of days and take another one! Good luck!

To end any doubts, I would call your Drs office and request a "nurse" visit for a blood test or a urine test. I did when I didn't know for sure, the nurse visit was free for the urine test and quick.
If you still aren't sure, then make an appointment for a blood test.
It could be that you are not far enough along to tell by urine. But blood test NEVER are wrong.
Good luck.

you can get a false positive result on pregnancy tests don't let anyone tell you otherwise. i had it happen to me. the only way if you got 2 pos. and 1 neg. is to go to the doctor and have them do a blood test. it is posible that u got a neg. on the ept. and are in fact pregnant. also though, if u want another baby bad enough your body can also trick itself into thinking it is pregnant. when i had my false pos. i went to the doctor to have blood work done to be sure to check the hcg level in my blood and there wasn't any. they also did a regular pregnancy test and it came back neg. if you are pregnant congrats! if not it will happen again.

I am 31, married for almost 12 yrs. and have 3 beautiful boys ages 10,7 and 4.

Please have a physician confirm the pregnancy. All this testing only creates confusion and strife and we all know who the "author" of that, is....

The pregnancy tests should be taken with the very first urine in the morning (it's the most concentrated). Your test at lunch could have been one of those brands that don't detect as early, or if you're very early along, the urine may not have been concentrated enough. With both of my pregnancies, my doctor took the home pregnancy test as positive and never bothered with a blood test.

Congratulations!

ALeisha- I had the same problem when I found out I was pregnant with my now 8 month old son. Back and forth I went with some tests showing only a faint (barely barely there) pink line. Simple solution: Go to your doctor's office for a blood test to determine if you are pregnant. It is 100% accurate! Results in about 5 hours. No guessing after that one!

Even if the line is faint....it's still there. If you want to be sure call your doctor (your family doctor can do it it doesn't have to be your OB) and you can get a urine test and if that is inconclusive they can get you a blood test. I'd say you are so if you're doing anything unhealthy or still using BC...STOP! COngrats!!

I researched a lot of tests and some are more sensitive then others. I would think you a re pregnant since two tests confirmed it and one was negative. But definetely go to the doctor and have a bloodtest done and get the official confirmation.
Good luck with the new baby. I understand the testing thing, I kept taking tests even after the doctor confirmed it, just to show myself that I am still pregnant, because I waited for so long and when you are first pregnant there is really not much going on to make you feel different and you need that "proof' that you still are...

Hi! I am in Nursing school...there are only 3 POSITIVE tests for pregnancy;1. a fetal heartbeat detected by a Doppler @ about 10-12 weeks, 2. fetal movement felt by a professional, 3. seeing the fetus on an ultrasound. The others are only probable. Make sure you test your 1st urine of the day. But to get acurrate confirmation, go see the Dr.! Good luck!

When my husband I were trying, it took 18 months to get pregnant. When I was finally late enough to take a test, mine came out the same with the faint line. So I took another the next morning and it said the same. So I call my doctor and the nurse told me that faint or not I was pregnant. That the only time you have to worry is if it is negative. So if I went by my doctor, I would say you are pregnant. Which now I have a health 2 1/2 year old boy. I would just call your doctor and ask them. Hope this helps. K. N.

I think some tests just pick it up sooner than others. I got a (faint) positive on first response when others still said no, and first response was right. I'd go ahead and make an ob-gyn appointment and start taking vitamins! :)

I would recommend a test at the doctor's office. Their tests are more sensitive and accurate. Alternatively you can wait another weak and try and over the counter test again. Just my thouthts.

This reminds me of my own situation. I stared at the faint line several times trying to decide. But, either there's a line or there isn't - whether it's faint or not. I was pregnant and you can confirm by calling your female doctor and getting the lab work done for a final confirmation to be sure. You should be able to do it the same day you call. This will give you a solid result.

Hello Aleisha, I just wanted to let you know that when I was pregnant with my first daughter I took 3 EPT tests and they ALL came up NEG but when I went to the doc cause I just know I was...he confirmed it. I would go with the 2 positive tests. I would also go to your doc and have it confirmed. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

I think you're pregant and the EPT one was a false negative.
Call your doctor and have blood test to be sure.

And (preemptively, maybe) CONGRATULATIONS!

I am a nurse and mother of 3, If there was a positive than you are pregnant. Congrats. With my first I worked at a ob office and I took 10 tests. One would be positive than the next negative. Believe me it is positive. The only way to be 100% is to get your blood drawn. The only test after my first child were from the $ store. They are the best.

Go to your doctor and have them do a beta HCG blood test. They can test the levels in your blood to see if you are truly pregnant. You can get a false positive on those home test but with a blood test they can get an HCG level and let you know for sure. Stop wasting time and money not to mention your sanity. I used to work in OB and infertility and actually had to go through it myself to have our first child so I know how you feel. Our second child came along 11 months later by total surprise, but I remember taking about 4 of those test because I just couldn't believe it.

HPTs vary according to the amount of HCG they detect. I am not sure how much HCG EPT detects compared to 1st Reponse and Clearblue Easy, but it could be that they are more sensitive than EPT. If you want to be sure before calling your ob, wait a couple more days and test with the EPT again. I'd be willing to bet that it is positive. So, CONGRATULATIONS! :)

Aleisha, you really need to go to a doctor. Those tests can give the worng results and since you've had a positive and a negative reading, the only way of being positive is with a blood test or a doctors examination.

Hi Aleisha!

My guess is the EPT test that came back negative is probably because you took it in the middle of the day. They say you can test anytime of day but morning is always the best because your urine isn't as diluted from drinking throughout the day. I have always trusted First Repsonse and have never been fond of EPT. And like the other responses say some tests are more sensitive than others. If the test is picking up the HCG than most likey you are pregnant. If you want to be sure than call your doctor and have them do a blood test that will read the level of HCG in your blood. You can usually get the results within 24 hours (sometimes sooner, if you request it). . .anything that reads above a 5 means that you are pregnant (and as long as your numbers are doubling every 48 hours). Good luck!!

In your situation I think the best thing to do is pray. Jesus I pray Lord that you would help Aleisha to concieve a baby. I release your anointing over her body and say that she will have a baby in the name of Jesus. I thank you Lord that you are answering her Prayer right now. I thank you that it is done. In Jesus name I pray amen... Be blessed. :)

I know what you mean about the test having a faint positive line! I took two and they both did the same thing. Id make an apt at the local health department or with your obgyn and have them do the professional pregnancy test!! Good luck to you. And by the way! When i went i found out i was 7 weeks pregnant now im 10 :)

I think you should go to your doctor.
If there was a faint line on one, then the other actually said you were pregnant your doctor will probably tell you what you already know! I think you are Pregnant!
Congrats!!!

Congratulations! You're pregnant! When I was expecting child #2, I also had the faint line from the First Response test. I actually called First Response, and they told me that ANY line at all indicates pregnancy, since it measures the AFP in your urine. I don't know why the EPT test came back negative, though. Try again first thing in the morning, and see what happens!

The only way to be 100% sure is a blood test. I had a very faint line with my daughter also, and the next day had a blood test at my physicians office and sure enough I was pregnant. Good Luck.

just schedule a doc visit and see. good luck! i have a feeling you are so have fun..

Go get a blood test at your doctor's office.

At this point, I would go ahead and schedule an appt with the doc... He can tell you for sure!! Hope you get the answer your looking for!! :)

I would say you are pregnant! Congrats! Some tests are not as sensitive as others so go with the Positives! I would go get a blood test soon.

Be honest and let him know about it. I was in the same situation about three months ago, actually. I took a few tests and always got the super-faint positive line, too. My friends and everyone were shooting me down, telling me that it wasn't accurate. It was SO frustrating, and confusing! I went to Planned Parenthood to find out for sure, and they confirmed the pregnancy. I am now 14 weeks along.

One thing to keep in mind: There are always false "negative" results on tests, but never false "positive"s. My HCG levels were just low, and hard for the home tests to detect. It really happens quite a lot.

When in doubt, go to the doctor. :) It will be cheaper in the long run than all the tests you buy, and it will give you better peace of mind. (Planned Parenthood is just $10.)

Good Luck to you, and best wishes! :)

Hopefully I do not get you too excited if you are not pregnant, however 3yrs ago I took 5 EPT tests and they were all negative. All along I was pregnant. B.

wait another week and take another test most of the time it is better to take the test in the morning. Some test in my experance are not accurate going to the doctor is ussually more accurate...

I'd say yes. I always had negative results with the EPT. And a follow up test with First Response always gave me my positives.. the first response in my experience has always been acurate. S. SAHM (expecting #2)

For two of my pregnancies when I took a pregnancy test at the beginning of a week, it showed negative, but just three days later when I would take another test it would show a positive. I'd say your chances are pretty good that you are pregnant. The digital test may be more sensitive at an earlier stage than the others. Call your doctor though - that's always best.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter the pregnancy test came out the same way. The positive stripe was very light. I read a lot about pregnancy tests on the internet and many sources said that no matter how light the line is on the preganant side, you are pregnant. If you weren't you wouln't see the line at all. The earlier you take the test the lighter it is. I would have to say that two out of three tests saying you pregnant that you are. But you can never go wrong at the doctor.

It sounds like you are, but, your best is to go see a doctor because if you are, you'll need to start your prenatal checkups. And you want to start that as soon as possible.

Them tests are a pain in the butt,lol. I went through the similar thing when I was pregnant with my first. Believe it or not, but when you get them screwy results for the test, it's most likely that your pregnant. I don't want to get your hopes up that you are, so you should go get an exam, but in my experience I took 4. 2 said I was and then 2 came out messed up with the lines, which a lot of times is pregnant. Good Luck!! I am pregnant with my third and due on June 6. I will pray for you, GOD BLESS!!

The same thing happened to me about a year ago, and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy last October!!! So, from my experience, if the pregnant line is there at all, you're pregnant. Wait a few days and try the test again. Good luck and (hopefully!) congratulations!

Hello Aleisha,
I would also be confused. I think that you should make an appointment with your physician, this would be the most effective way of finding out if you're pregnant or not. Please keep in touch and let me know what the true answer is.
Good Luck!
J.

Give it another week and take another one. I would say you are from the first two. side note that was so sweet of your hubby to bring you another on his lunch break. I would show your hubby the digital one though.
