Home Pregnancy Test

Hello,

This actually happened to me, also. The lines were fuzzy and it was hard to read. What I recommend is the test (I'm not sure on the brand), it states "pregnant" or "not pregnant". It turned out I was pregnant. Hope this helps.

A line is a line, it doesn't matter how faded it is, you are pregnant! Congrats!

I had faded lines with the pregnancy test I took for my daughter...in fact it was 2 in the morning, I took the test and had to turn all the lights on to read it...I was definitely pregnant! Usually the box will say that it doesn't matter if the line is bold or light just to look for lines in both directions (making a plus) to say that you're pregnant. If you're unsure you can take another home test or call your doctor, but I would guess you're pregnant! Congratulations!!!

Faded usually equals pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the same one. it appeared as though the light was dim on it. A week or two later, I took another and it was real bright! Just wait a couple weeks. Most doctors dont want to see you until your at least 8 weeks anyway and if you take a blood test, it is as accurate as a home pregnancy test. Chances are, congrats on the new pregnancy!

Any shade of line no matter how light is a +. As long as it was read w/in the test time frame.

Yes, this happened to me. So I called the manufacturer of the product and they said if ANYTHING shows up in that window (faded or not) you are pregnant! Congratulations!!

I never tested positive on home test until further into the pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant go get a blood test.

Yes, this has happened to me before. For both of my pregnancies, I tested early and received a faded + sign. Both times I was pregnant! I'd get a blood test, especially if you want to be pregnant.

You are pregnant. This happened to me. It's just a little to early for the test, that's why it's showing faded.

My beautiful Sophia was once a faded plus sign. I think you should call your doctor.

Mine was also fadded and I was pregnant. But call your doctor and go in to confirm. I went to my General Doctor because they were able to get me in the next day, my OB wanted to wait until I would have been 8 weeks. Good luck! -E.

Hi K.

I had 2 at home tests (even the expensive ones) come out negative with my second child. Only to find out with a blood test that I was pregnant.

But I've also had a blood test come back negative, when 5 weeks later I was actually pregnant on a second test. I was 9 weeks by them per the ultrasound! Believe it or not, even the blood tests can give you a false negative!! But I still think your best bet is to do the blood test. Just more accuracy there!!
