I mean faint, but it was blue like the control and my husband saw it. Did it the next day and it was the same. It is an early test, AF is due tomorrow. Is this a positive?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks so much everyone. I am bummed because AF decided to show up after all. I have a short luteal phase, so I am pretty sure that eggs don't implant. I was just excited because we tried for over a year with my DD, but this was a one time try. Oh well, now to figure out if I want to go through seriously trying for another, or just let the chips fall where they may. Thanks so much!

Is the line suppose to show blue? If so, then it is a positive test. If its suppose to be another color then I'd get a blood test from my doctor...

use the tests that say pregnant or not pregnant. I couldn't tell what my tests were saying either b/c the lines were so faint.

I agree with the pp, I took a test the first day it could have possibly worked (several days before AF), and had a very faint line...now I have a beautiful daughter!

That is a good perdiction, however I would only go by Blood results and the amount that your LH doubles daily, that will tell the doc if you have a strong positive. I have had many faint positives, be happy but get in to see your obgyn. best wishes. K

a very faint line for me meant a blighted ovum. Meaning the egg just stopped developing and the egg sack was empty. I would prob take another test in a week to see what you get.

The SUPER FAINT line was a yes for us. Test each day; it should get darker.

I had the same thing a little over a year ago. Turned out to be a chemical pregnancy.

A positive is a positive, Congratulations!!

I had a very faint positive with my 1st, in fact I had thrown the test away thinking it was negative and went back just to double check (obsession of mine when going through infertility). When I went back there was a very faint line!! I went to the dr that day to confirm it and I was definitely pregnant!

Once again, CoGraTUlations!!

As a general rule, the line should get darker each day. All of my pregnancies that lasted the line got darker, and if I compared all the tests you could see progression. When I had miscarriage, the line was slower to get darker or didn't get darker at all. Good luck.

Mine did that on my second pregnancy and I ignored it. My husband is a doctor and came home and said a positive is a positive, your pregnant! I took another one a week later and it was a strong positive. If you saw a line in the time they said to look then your pregnant! Congrats!

I had the same thing happen. My Doc says, can have a false negative, but not false positive. I would say you are! Congrats!

Get a different brand and do it again! I have heard that with a pregnancy test, it will give a false negative, but NEVER a false positive.

Good luck!!

Sounds like it is positive but make sure you're reading the test within the time window. I was one of those desperate people that wanted a positive so bad that I dug it out of the trash the next day and thought it was positive. Turns out it was an evaporation line. Congrats.

Yup...it's a positive! Your hormones that keep your body from rejecting the embryo haven't kicked into high gear yet, that's why the line is faint. But any hint of a line if a positive. Congrats!
