Go buy the digital "Pregant / Not Pregnant" test. The other ones are very often misleading, but the digital ones are great. I had the same problem. Good luck!

Seriously, the dollar tree stores have the BEST tests! The expensive tests said that I wasn't prego, but the dollar ones did. Went to the doc and had it confirmed. I'm pregnant! Go buy 2 or 3 and see what they say.

Are they dark lines? Try taking another test and if you think you may be pregnant contact an OBGYN and ask them to give you a blood test.

This would cost a little more but I would skip over all the other tests and go for a digital one. I got an iffy answer on a regular test - more negative than positive but, after another week of not getting my period, I bought a digital test (one that writes out the words "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant") and I most definitely was pregnant. Good luck!

I think it means the test is defective. I would buy another test.

Can you go to your GYN and get a blood test? Otherwise I think their are clinics that you can go to for small or no copay. If you think you are possibly pregnant I would act as though you are, eat right, take some prenatal's and don't drink or smoke.
Congrats if you are:)

Sounds like it could be a evaproated line. EPT's are famous for the blue dye to leak like that. Go to the dollar store & buy a test from there. Good luck! I hope you get whatever answer u are looking for
