faint lines...can that be pregnancy if not dark??

Question

a friend of mine recently told me that she missed her period, a few days late anyways.so she took 5 pregnancy tests. she said that all 5 of them, the line was very faint. i told her that she is pregnant for sure.i said that she could get a negative when really pregnant, but you cant really get faint lines if your not, right? any line is still a line. she is still in denial at the moment..do you agree with me that she probably is??

I didn't 7 test all with faint line and I was so excited and just couldn't believe it. Im now almost 13 weeks. The reason it could be so faint is because she is still early and her hormones levels are not too high.

My girlfriend is about 11 weeks now we have been taking rest like crazy and the lines just keep getting more faint but here is definitely a pudge growing. Has this happened or is it normal?

Did you take a digital after the two positives and it said negative? If so then they were probably evap lines. But if you just started your period a day or so later it was probably an early miscarriage which is very common.

Well i guess we should say that a Line is a positive in MOST cases.... not all! Digital is the best way to go!

That is not true at all.  For some people if you're lucky that could be the answer.  I had taken two tests one was dark one was a little lighter same colors and i didn't let it sit longer than it was supposed to.  I took two of them.  I thought the same thing and everyone told me the same thing as well.  Under all these cercumstances that I was preggo....wrong!  I wasn't at all at that time.  So no the saying that a line is a line isn't true at all times.  I found out for myself that the digital is the best.  I am preggo now however but I say the heck with the lines i got the digital.  So don't listen to that bs a line is a line that isn't always the case.

A faint line is a line, but evap lines are common so I would suggest that she take a digital for peace of mind!

Correction

I meant to say a line is a line no matter how light or dark as long as it is the same color as the control line.  If the tests are pink then the test line needs to be pink as well, doesnt matter weither its light or dark.  However if the line is a grayish color or not the same color as the test dye then it more then likely an evap line.  hope this clears up any confusion.

Krysta872 · Answer

The general rule is a line is a line no matter what the color.  Evap lines are possible but it wouldnt be likely on 5 tests.  The easiest way to end the questioning would be to get a digital test.  No lines it just says pregnant or not pregnant.
