Pregnant? - Charlottesville,VA

God Bless!!!
Congrates?!!! :o)

I had a very faint line with my third two summers ago. I thought there was no way I was pregnant if it was so faint, but he is 18 months old now :). If there is a very faint line, I would assume you are just very early on in the pregnancy! Congratulations!

To my knowledge there is no way you cannot be pregnant. The same thing hapened to me when i took my first one, of course, it was from the dollar store so i questioned it. I took another and the same thing happened. I called my girlfriend, who works at my doctors office, and she said it was diluted because of the fluids I had been drinking that day. She told me to take one when I first got up in the morning with my first bathroom trip. It lit up like a firecracker. Needless to say, my husband and i were so excited beacuse we had been through a previous miscarriage. They say those tests will never produce a false positive, only a flase negative.

Hope this helps,

Hi F.! The same thing happened to me and then more recently to my sister and we were both very much pregnant! Your doctor should tell you to have the blood work done, and then you'll know for sure!

Best of luck!

Not likely, false negatives are far more common than false positives. The boxes usually say that even a very faint line means that you are preggers. I think you can assume that you ARE pregnant, unless you've been taking any kind of drug that would make you show a false positive. If you're taking anything, you can refer back to the information sheet the pharmacist gave you to see if this is one of the side effects. If not, start taking pre-natals and congratulations!

There are tests you can get that will say "pregnant" or "not pregnant". I used one of these when I was pregnant because I had trouble with the lines on the ovulation tests. Good luck.

I had the same results with my second baby. From what I understand, there are no false-positives and if there is a line (even if it is very faint) you are pregnant. I ended up taking 4 different tests because the line was barely visible...I thought maybe I was seeing things. Good luck!!!

in my experience you only get false negatives, not false positives.

Congrats!

false positives are pretty rare, so you most likely are pregnant! If you are that curious and don't want to wait a week to take another one, you can get a blood test at the OB! Congrats!

As far as I know faint means PREGNANT! Congrats!

My OBGYN says there is no such thing as a false positive - you're pregnant!

About 9 months ago I had the same issue. We are now expecting daughter number two to arrive by Halloween! I took 10 home tests and they all either came out very faint or negative. It took me two weeks negative urine of blood tests to get a definate positive. My best advice is to listen to your body and your instincts!

Good Luck!

I have heard of a false negative but NOT a false possitive. YEAH! That was how my last one was. I came downstairs and showed my hubbie early that morning. He said he couldn't see anything. I cried and cried. He sure wished he hadn't said that. LOL! But anyway, I did many more tests and all came back a very faint possitive. The results: Kruz is now our 3rd son and a VERY active 2yr old.

Please be sure to let us all know, okay?

Take Care,

from everything I have ever heard, yes you must be pregnant! congrats!

My doctor has always told me that any line is a line. I've had the faint lines, too...and several days later they were definitely darker. Looks like you're pregnant. Congratulations!

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I concur with the other ladies. Congratualtions. My last two of the four children were all very faint positives when I began to suspect I was pregnant, after another week it was very positive.

Dollar Tree sells tests for a dollar, I have used them with every child and so do my friends. It is a cheaper way for you to test if you use natural family planning or are trying to get pregnant and want to test frequently.

if there is ANY line at all, most likely you are pregnant. it is far more likely to get a false negative than a false positive. mine was faint too at first and now i am pregnant with twins good luck!

When I found I was pregnant the first time I took a test and it said positive. I took 3 more and they were all the same so I was really pregnant. It sounds like to me you are pregnant. See the DR and confirm it.
Good luck and I hope this is what you want.

The same thing happened to me with my son ... it was such a faint line. BUT a faint pink line is still a pink line. Congrats!!
