Hi all just wondering if you could help me, I've just taken a test (that I got from the doctor) and it has a very faint 2nd line. You have to hold it up into the light to see it. Does this mean it's positive?? -------------

Alicia! You didn't say anything in the Feb thread! :o
I know preg tests from doctor's offices tend to be cheap generic ones, probably just because they go through so many and can't charge for them, but if the second line came up within the time limit then I'd believe it. No harm in taking another test to be sure though! Go get a First Response (or a pack of 3 of them!), I swear by them. I've never had a faulty test or an evap line, and I got a strong second line at 3.5 weeks with C so they are certainly sensitive. Good luck! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You fertile mertile you!!!
Certainly sounds positive to me, I always found the doctors tests to be quite insensitive too, so you could be a few weeks along already too. Very exciting!!! -------------

Everyone is so excited and I'm so bloomin scared!! I did a clearblue test and that came up negative so I'm booked in to the doctor cos the risk of having an ectopic are high apparently when you have your tubes clipped  -------------

I have never had any evaps on the doctor's ones. They always worked for me. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Holy crap Alicia, how scary for you! If you dont want to wait then get a discover from any radius chemist as they are much more sensitive than any other HPT -------------

OMG LC!!! I say a line is a line too. This time around with my first couple of HPTs the lines were so faint I thought I was seeing things. They got progressively darker over a couple of days ...

Did a test at the doctors and it didn't show anything straight away so the doctor wanted to throw it out lol. I've brought it home and dh reackons he can see a faint 2nd line but I've got to have blood tests done anyway so I'll go and do that tomorrow. So I'm still none the wiser -------------

Gah, I think the not-knowing-for-certain is the worst bit. At least with bloods you'll know one way or the other. FX'd they get your test processed nice and quick (and then you can let all your stalkers know too  )------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

I was about to ask this too tauris.
the Drs test that my Doc's use are MSD quick cards and have a sensitivity of 50, and First response is 25 and discovers are 15, so it should show on one of them as more of a line. I dont reckon you can get two faint +ve's on the same test two days in a row for it to not be accurate. and personally for me my faint +ves on those tests had me with a blood HCG of 29 then 43 |

sorry if it was on 1st page somewhere but was it one of the new tests drs are now using Innovacon?
I have used these tests a few times as they are free from the maternity unit it came with a note saying they are now the tests dr will be using once quickcards have been used up. I have gotten so many faint lines on these and have not been pregnant at all. and the faint line is a line that had it been on a 1st response i wouldnt have doubted for a second was a proper bfp. everything else would give me a stright bfn but not these ones ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |

Jeeesus, I'd have been dropping bricks if I thought I was utd, esp after getting tubes tied, glad you got a definite -ve and dont have to worry about the chance of ectopic etc. OB told me failure rate is realllly low, so it'd be a bloody miracle if you managed to concieve! ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

That's great to hear that the failure rate is low cos I've heard so many horror stories of people getting pregnant when they got there tubes tied I was serioulsy scared cos our family is deffinetly complete, I'm way too busy with the younger 2 to have anymore!! -------------
