Faint Pos??

Ok so maybe I'm a freak but I have a question.  About a week ago I started having a weird feeling I might be pregnant.  I took a home EPT and saw the faintest line so decided to test with FMU.  Sure enough the line was there but very very faint.  I even ran one under water just to see if it was a normal line that just happened to show up and of course there was nothing.  So hubby and I bought two diff brands and nothing.  Went back to first brand and tested every couple days since last week.  At one point the faint pos went away but now it's back with the first brand.  Still nothing with second and third brands.  AF isn't due till 8-11th, but hubby swears I am preggo.  I am doubting and trying not to get hopes up because I don't want to be disappointed.  Docs assured us when we MC in 2005 that we would get preggo within a year, but there has been nothing since and that was 4 1/2 yrs ago.  I am really praying this it but would feel so much better is a few ladies who have been there with EPTs could give me their opinion.  Could I be pregnant finally???

Is the equate brand blue dye or pink dye?  Evaporation lines are more common with blue dye tests, they almost never happen with pink dye

I thought of evap lines also, but it is doubtful since the lines I am seeing are showing up within 30 seconds of me peeing on the stick.  I think I'll try the name brand (first response) since it is also the company that makes the equate offbrand.  I find it funny I'm showing up on an off brand but not on the two name brands.  In the meantime hubby and I are just anxiously awaiting the next couple days out so I can warrant a blood test at the doc.  Since we are military they can be pains so we aren't going to give them an excuse.  Thnx for the info and the luck

There is a possibility of evap. lines, but also maybe one brand can detect it and others can't since you havent missed your period!  I really hope is happens for you!  But the equate version i believe is an off brand I would def. try first response!  Hopefully i works out for you!

Thnx.....it just so happens that the EPT i am showing up on is made and distributed by the makers of First Response.  It is the Equate brand.  I think if my hubby can't find anymore of those today I will have him pick up a pack of First Response ones.  I have tried ClearBlue(the digital one) and and the brand EPT.  I really hope this is it....I don't wanna disappointment again for me or my loving husband.  Thnx for the luck.....we could use it :)

try an early results test like first responce,that can tell you 6 days before af is due.i think a line is a line no matter how faint,but test again anyway.
good luck :)
