Weak Positive Pregnancy Test (Help!)

I had weak positives with my last pregnancy on three different tests. My daughter is 2 1/2 now. That was the only pregnancy I had a weak positive for as well. Good luck to you.

The test may be weak positive just because you are so early in you pregnancy. Do you have pain or other reasons to worry about ectopic pregnancy like tubal reveral or history of pelvic infection? If not them the test will get stronger over time as your HCG level rises as the baby grows

I would go to a lab to have a blood hcg level pregnancy test done before you go to the doctor next week. (You will need a prescription from the doctor or the doctors office can call the lab with verbal orders). Then at your appt. have the doctor's office do it again-that way you will be able to compare and see if the numbers are rising or falling. My weak tests did result in a miscarriage-my report said "possible ectopic". But so many women have written you that had weak tests and now have a beautiful child as a result! So I would just get things checked sooner than later so you do not have to go so long being uncertain.

Hi- the same thing is happening to me so I hope it does not mean ectopic pregnancy! With my first child, the pregnancy test turned very positive right away. And just last week, I took two pregnancy tests after being a few days late- and they were both very weak. I mentioned this to my ob office on the phone and she just said I was still really early. My appt to confirm is still 2 weeks away.

Try not to worry! Many tests give a weak neg or a false positive result. I would bet your pregnant and your HCG is a little low. Good luck to you:)

Hi there! I'm 39 years old and that happened to me when I was 36, almost 37, so I have three tests too, all of them weak like that, I didn't want to believe them jijijiji, but let me tell you, I have a 20 month old boy now, so you know.
Enjoy it and don't worry too much, go to your Dr.
Congrats girl.!!!!!!

My first test was very week also and I took it 2 weeks late. But the very next day I took a digital test and positive popped up before I even sat the test down!!! Don't jump to the worst assumption so fast. More than likely your HcG level is just low right now. Take a different kind of test and wait until you go to your OB/GYN. Everything will be fine. Take care and congratulations!

mine was weak and barely visible, she was a girl and I had her 7 months ago.

I have had weak pregnancy tests when it was early in the pregnancy and everything was fine. It usually means that we are not producing enough of the pregnancy horomone to make the line dark. In my case I would wait another week and take another test and the line would be darker. Also are you taking the test in the morning...sometimes that helps. But I think that going to the doctor will help, because they can do a blood test which is more accurate. I hope that everything works out for you.

Hi Jessica,
First you need to calm down. The weak line meaning and ectopic pregnancy, I've never heard that before, be careful about on-line info unless it comes from a VERY reliable source.

I think the best thing to do is just wait and see what your OB/GYN says. And if there is any question about your condition they will likely do an ultra-sound.

Don't let your mind run wild with all the "what-if's", go see your doctor.

Good luck!

The first test I took was also very weakly positive. I waited another week or two, and it was definitely positive. We now have a beautiful almost 6 week old little girl.

Your OB can repeat the test (blood or urine) to reassure you. Usually people have risk factors for an ectopic pregnancy like a history of pelvic inflammatory disease etc.. In a normal pregnancy it can take time for the hcg level to rise so the test can be weakly positive.

Good luck!

First of all I wanted to say that I have been blessed with a healthy son & daughter but I have had 6 failed pregnancies as well. After the first few I learned that when I had a very light line on the test that the pregnancy was not going to pan out. I never had typical miscarriages. I would continue to carry the baby anywhere from 6 weeks to 12 weeks but there was not a heartbeat. I too had very dark lines on the test with my son & daughter. I hope maybe this is not the case for you but just wanted you to know that is what happened with me and none of them were ectopic. They just all ended up with a D & C.

Dear Young Mom,
My advice is if your more than 10 days late in your cycle, then by all means
GO TO THE DOCTOR!!,Good Luck,Love,
Nana

No advise just a ((hug)).

And i know that every pregnancy is different. And it's still very early.

I too was late and knew I was pregnant in my heart, with my second child. I took five pregnancy test all came back negative, two different brand & days and weeks apart and still negative. Even though i was tired and felt the symptoms of being pregnant. Did not get confirmation until I went to my gynecologist, that's when I tested positive. I had a great pregnancy, baby was born healthy. So don't think negative. That test does not necessarily mean an ectopic pregnancy. Good luck.
