Faint line and negitive digital pregnancy test.

by #1 girl, Apr 20, 2008 07:35PM
I get my period every 31 days.  I am on day 24 and I have been trying to get pregnant.  I took 3 different pregnancy tests, a few days too early.  The first tist had a VERY  faint line for a positive.  later a digital said, "NO", then lqter I took a different test that has a + sign appear, and that came up VERY fait too.  I am confused!

I think you're pregnant. A line is a line, no matter how faint. As long as there's some color to it. I've always heard that the digital "pregnant/not pregnant" tests are less sensitive, so that might be why that one came out negative even though the other tests had a faint line/plus sign.

Best of luck!!!

I have the fertility for dummies book and it has a list aof all the hpt amd at what levels the check the hcg hormone level and the equate and clearblue easy are the most sensitve She is right about the digital test they test at 50 hcg level while the equate and clearblue easy test at 25 hcg level. Try these brands with your first morning urine and you will probably get a clear definate positve. GOOD LUCK AND LOTS OF BABY DUST TO U

I agree, I think you are preggo! The line has to be a little darker than "faint" to be picked up by the digitals, so i would wait a couple of days and then redo the digital, but for now a line is a line, congrats!

I have 2 kids and have had 2 MC within the past 12 months, I am worried this time if I am.  I will keep you all posted for my next testing.

I got a bfp with FRER at 11dpo, digi didn't say "pregnant" until 13dpo.

But did you try a digi before 13 dpo?

by tina1111, Apr 21, 2008 12:51PM
Yes I did, lol. I did just about every brand each day after I got the bfp w/frer. I wanted to see firsthand which ones show sooner. FRER blew the competition away. I used a CBE digi and a Walgreens digi. They both said "pregnant" at 13dpo. EPT, Equate, Answer and some IC were bfp at 12dpo. Most were faint, but noticable.

Alright, I did not take another test, but today is 31 days, I usually get my period at 31 days...  we will see!

Just wondering what your results were! Good luck! I hope you get your BFP and af stays away!

by #1 girl, Apr 28, 2008 08:41AM
Well, so far no period and (not to be gross) but.. discharge and breasts are a little tender.  Accordining to my 31 day cycle, I was due for my period this past Friday, it is Monday and still no period.  I am going to the Dr. tomorrow.  Because I had 2 MC's last year at about 11 weeks she wants to see me asap.  I am trying not to get excited.

by luvkayln, Apr 28, 2008 09:59AM
Well, good luck! I hope you get the results you've been waiting for! Let us know asap!

I will post tomorrow after my Dr. apt.
Thank you all!

I went to the Dr. today It measured exactly 5 weeks (where i should be at).  She asked me to come back in a week to make sure it is growing well and where it should be.  I am crossing my fingers and totally stressing out from now til then.

Oh, that's great news! Congratulations! All the best for a healthy, happy nine months!
