What does the directions say, how long are you suppose to wait until looking at the results. Some pregnancy tests will have one line that shows up to show you that the test is working and another line or another box where a positive would show if you were pregnant. Tests will tell you not to read after a certain time frame-usually somewhere around 10 minutes after because you can get what is called an evaporation line that appears but does not mean you are pregnant. Do not read a pregnancy test later then what the directions say because it is not longer valid. Best recommendation would be to read the directions and get the exact time frame, and take another one in the morning, using your first morning urine-that is going to be most accurate. If you can wait a few days until testing again because if you are pregnant it will give your body time to build up more of the hormone which will give you a positive result.

you should do it in the morning with your first urination, its the best time to check. and probly go to the dr.

I'd go to the dr.  Ask for the blood test. its the only way your going to know for sure.

It happened to me too...I had taken a test and it was negative so I threw it out, then that night when I went to throw out something else I noticed the second line on it...so the next morning I took a FRER test and it was a light positive...now im 24 weeks! :)

I agree with Buggie.  if you are reading it outside the time frame it is not a valid answer.

Good luck

They arent valid outside of a specific time frame...it should tell you a window...like 3 mins to 1 hour. If you are concerned wait a day or two and test with your first morning urine and read it within the window of time they give...good luck!! :)
