What does this mean?

What does it mean when on a pregnancy test the positive line shows up with a little color right at the ten minute mark, but doesn't get darker until after the ten minute mark?

If there is a line between the time frame instructed on the test it is positive. It doesn't matter how light or dark the line is.

i also say you are pregnant and no need to keep testing if unsure go to the dr and have blood work drawn or take a digital test within seconds it will say YES or NO for some and others will say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT.

Take a digital test. My first was the plus sign one and it read pregnant but the line was very faint. The digital test there no way to not know it'll say pregnant or not pregnant.

[mandy343]

It says to give it 2 to 10 minutes and all of the ones I took the lines showed up before the ten minutes, but there were a couple of them that didn't darken up until right after the ten minutes, but the lines were there before the ten minutes!!!!

What do the package instructions say?  The leading cause of "false positive" pregnancy tests is reading them after the package instructions say.  If it wasn't showing "pregnant" when it should have been time to read the test,  it's likely you're not pregnant.

Try another.  ;D

if you took a few and only one came up ten minutes later then i would say you are pregnant.
congratulations!!!

Anything read at the 10min+ mark is considered invalid and is likely to be just and evaporation line, try using a digital test if that reveals that you are not pregnant wait a few days and test again or go have blood work done

[mandy343]

I only had one come up that way.

[louieforlaughs]

i would take another test in that case with first morning pee on the day you expect your period.
you've had a few tests up and they looked positive but you didn't say that was after ten minutes.
the only thing i can say is take another test or go to the doctor for an official word on it.
good luck

I think it depends on the test but it should be explained on the instruction. HPT only indicates if there's a hormone in a urine so it may just say it's positive and nothing else. There are some other tests out there which can tell u how far u r but the one with the lines just simple answer yes or no.
