faint lines on 4 pregnancy test

by DiamondButterfly, Apr 29, 2009 12:45AM
Hi i'm 22 years old and my period is late by 8 days, i've taken 4 pregnancy test... 3 with the +/- and 1 with the normal two lines, everytime i took them a faint line made a + and two lines appeared on the normal one. I was just wondering could this mean i am pregnant? Me and my husband would be very happy if i am

If you see any line within the time allowed I would say your pregnant. Being as late as you are, your lines should be getting darker. Try testing in the morning with FMU. I say congrats!! A line is a line:-)

i did see them within 2 mins of each, i am just really praying that i am.... thx

i also had pink/white discharge a day after my missed period. so does that mean its implantation bleeding?

by hopfulEparents, Apr 29, 2009 01:14AM
they sell one kind (im not sure what brand it is) that will say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" to help eliminate that problem and take the guess work out of determining if youre pregnant. that kind is a bit more expensive but it might be worth a try. good luck.

by DiamondButterfly, Apr 29, 2009 01:27AM
i'll see if i get to the store tomorrow and buy one of them cause i have a doctor's appt in the morning and lets see what the doctor says, lets hope its a + ... =)

I called the 1-800 number when I got a faint line, they said it's only faint because my hormone levels weren't very high yet, but a faint line is a line either way. So I'd say you're pregnant! Good luck!

Any line no matter how faint is a line. Congrats!

It sounds like your preggo! did your results come back yet?!!

by Lance06, Apr 30, 2009 08:30AM
Cant wait to hear the results...let us know how you make out!!

by DiamondButterfly, Apr 30, 2009 12:44PM
yes i got the results and i'm really depressed because i'm not prego :-(.... i really wished i was but i guess we'll keep trying

by Lance06, Apr 30, 2009 12:54PM
I dont understand how you would get that many faint positives and have it turn out being negative!

by DiamondButterfly, Apr 30, 2009 02:16PM
well my sister in law (brother's wife) said that it could be i'm really early in th epregnancy and even a blood test can't determine it. she also said it could be a UTI considering i had pink and white discharge... idk.... i'm just wondering all this myself, why the discharge? why the faint lines? and why the missed period? i never miss my period and i have no signs of it coming soon.... i'm really confused

by nsrchofbaby, Apr 30, 2009 02:23PM
So sorry you're going through all the confusion. If it were too early for a blood test to detect the hcg in your system, a hpt definitely wouldn't pick up on it. It seems kind of odd considering you used two different types of tests and got faint positives on both. Not sure they still order qualitative/quantitative blood tests but maybe your dr ordered the wrong one???? I really hope someone else can help shed some light on this. Maybe you should try testing with a digital hpt in a few days and contact your dr if you get a positive on that. Good luck.

by Linzola1, Apr 30, 2009 05:05PM
I am so sorry! Did your doctor suggest you commingin a few days for a second test? Why didnt shedo a test (urine) in office?

by DiamondButterfly, Apr 30, 2009 05:44PM
yeah she actually called me back like 2 hours after i came home and said we'll retest on may 7th because the hCG might not be showing up so soon.... and the urine wasn't done because she said she relys more on the blood test

by cmoretti, May 01, 2009 09:14PM
A UTI won't cause a BFP. The most likely answer is that this was what they call a chemical pregnancy. Basically a pregnancy that is detected early and then miscarries. Chances are that if you take another HPT tomorrow it will be neg.  If this is your case, I am so sorry. Many women have chemical pregnancies and don't know it. They just think AF came a little late. You just happened to test and find out.

On the other hand. weirder things have happened! women with neg tests but US showed a baby! People not testing pos for over 3 weeks past the due date for AF!

by dietcola, May 01, 2009 09:19PM
Try to buy  Clear Blue Digital it will say pregnant or not pregnant and test it in the morning. This way you dont have to gess if it was evaporation line  or a positive. Good Luck

by DiamondButterfly, May 03, 2009 09:15PM
okay so i took a dollar store pregnancy test and it came out negative but i still have really weird symptoms, my body feels really weird all day, i have sore nipples (just the nipples not the areolas or the whole breast) and they stay hard for half the day, i have mild cramps, i feel really drained all day (i dont do much just dishes and maybe cook), and my mouth has a very bad taste, this not how i usually feel before i get my period.... i'm starting to feel a little more worried than i was. can anyone please help? could i really be pregnant and its not just showing up as yet?
