Pregnancy Test
Ok so i have posted 2 other question pertaining to this subject and now i'm more confused than ever. My period was supposed to start march 15th. I had spotted 2 weeks earlier on the 5th. Now i am late on my period because it never came on the 15th. In 3 weeks time i had taken 4 pregnancy tests and they have all said NEG. But i still wasnt starting my period. The last test i took was 5 days ago and for some reason something told me to take another one, so i got up and took it and i thought it was going to say Neg, (the test I'm using is the reg E.P.T test) the circle and square boxes that if there are only 2 lines means not pregnant, and if there is a "+" mean pregnant. Well out of nowhere this morning when i took it, there are the 2 lines that made me think its NEG again but then in the circle box on top of the line is a Very Faint Line that would make it a "+". So now I dont know if I am pregnant or not.
My question is: does it matter how faint a line is for it to mean Pregnant? Or is it just me making a big deal. I'm going to take another test in a few days to make sure before trying to go to a doctor. Please any help will be greatly appreciated.

Drinking water and taking another test leads only to more confusion. If you had a weak positive, you won't likely get a positive with dilute urine.
Blood pregnancy tests are more accurate, and can tell you whether or not you're pregnant, and if you're pregnant, it will give you a good idea of how many weeks along you are. Go to your doctor and get the test. Then you won't have to worry.
Don't take another test today. It won't help.
If you insist on taking another home pregnancy test, take it tomorrow morning or the next morning.
You may just have become pregnant in the last 2 weeks. That would explain the negative pregnancy tests, which only show pregnancy 2 weeks after you become pregnant. Again, blood tests tell you as early as 8 days after conception, but urine tests take longer.
Relax. Breathe easy. Don't drink alcohol, take prenatal vitamins (and even if you're not pregnant yet, while trying you should be doing this), stay away from drugs not approved for pregnancy until you know.
Try to forget about this today. Unless you go to your doctor, you will not be certain whether or not your are pregnant until at least tomorrow.

i did take it first thing this morning. and thats what it said. I showed my husband and my sister and they wanted me to make sure and take another one so i drank some water and tried to eat a little bit then went to take another one a little while again, it ended up doing the same thing, but what confuses me is in the past 3 weeks i had taken 4 takes & they all said Neg. and now i waited about a week to take the one this morning now in total ive taken 6 and im alil freaked out and confused
Unfortunately people often read pregnancy tests wrong. So a blood or urine test by your doctor would probably be the best way to go. Or get a different pregnancy test that is easier to read.
That being said, no matter how faint a line (unless its to the point of being an imaginary line) it tends to mean a person is pregnant. Testing your urine first thing in the morning may produce a darker line.
Good luck!
