Positive results?

I am not too sure about my at home pregnancy test.  I took the test and waited the proper time and the window showed a plus sign.  Now the line that goes across the window was dotted and the line that goes up and down to cross the plus sign was very much there.  I don't know if that mean a false positive or if it means anything at all.  If the test was negative the horrizontal line would be there by it self but this test had both lines.  What do you think that Means?

Mostly, a positive means a positive but I'd suggest that you should go for an HCG blood test. Bloodtests are much more reliable than HPTs. Or if it's not possible then go for another two HPTs to know for sure.

if its the blue tests they suck and give alot of false positives and you should try a first response early test and its a simple single line or double line its not blue dye and very accurrate. I would test again but they say if its a positive before the time frame is up then its a def. a positive....

If it showed a positive in the proper time frame, you can assume it's a positive. False positives are extremely rare, and they tell you to not look at the test when it's outside the time frame because of evap lines. If you're still not sure, you can get a digital readout test. It would take the guess work out of the lines and would tell you in words.
