 Topic: Faint Positives
Posted: 14 January 2008 at 8:01am |
|
I tested on Sat afternoon and got a very very faint positive test. I had purchased a 2 pack so I thought "what the heck, I'll use the second one this morning and will get a stronger result" but no...the result is still as faint as on sat afternoon.
Anyone else had this?
I'm seeing my doc for a blood test on Tues but am feeling a little unsure.

That happened when I was preggy with Steph, I test very early and got a faint line, tested 2 days later and it still faint. Its probably just super early.

Same thing happened here with me for this pregnancy, really faint positive tests but yup, I was pregnant! I needed the doctor to confirm it before I really believed too.

My lines were always quite faint, a line is a line they say 
How far along would you be? Is AF late now?

Sounds like it is just due to being still very early on in your pregnancy.

I THINK, but don't know that AF would be due tomorrow? So yeah, early. I wasn't tracking my cycles though but I think they were 28 days (I did a calc from the first day of my first one to the first day of my 5th one...I've only had 5 since Elle was born...and the result was 28 days). :)
Certainly feel preggers! Yuck skin, ligament discomfort, slight nausea on and off etc.
Thanks guys!

I got a really weak pos when i first tested, i then did a digital one a couple of days later and it said positive. I like the digital ones because it takes the guess work out of it. Good luck for your Dr appt and blood test.

I don't think I ever got full on flashing neon signs on my preggy test...sounds like it's all good for you. Still it will be good to get the Dr's thumbs up...always makes it more real!

I never had really strong lines on any of my tests.
Good Luck at the Docs, and I say trust your instincts...!!!!!

My lines were weak too. I only tested becuase instinct told me I was pregnant but I tested twice with weak lines both times. My doc didn't bother testing me again because she said that the two I did would be right and her tests were same as ones available over the counter.
My first MW appt we couldn't hear a heart beat (too early) so my husband had niggling doubts until he saw our baby on the ultra sound at 14 weeks - by then my morning sickness had me convinced that my little angel was on her way.
Good luck for docs.

p.s. I've always found my negative tests to be really strongly coloured lines. A weak in a positive is better than a strong in the negative.

I think I did about 5 over the space of a week and they were all really faint so I got all worried too but everything turned out ok.
Congratulations

I had two faint ones, the first one was the day before i was due for AF and the second was the day i was due for AF, a + is + regardless of the strength of the line as long as it showed up before the specified time.
If you are really unsure grab a digi that will actually say the words PREGNANT for reassurance.

I too will say a line is a line. Mine have never been as dark as the control line but have been positive each time anyways.
