    a test usually shows up positive at 4 weeks along. some of us have lower HCG (like me, a test does not come up positive until 6-8 weeks! sucks. a faint line means you just barely have enough HCG in yer pee to show up as a barely there line. so congrats!!! ;)

    I have a question!!! My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I'm about 9 days late getting my period and have been off the pill since the begining of July. I got the First Response test where one line is no two is yes, and the first line showed up immediately. In about a minute, I could barely see a second line. It's much much lighter than the first line but you can see a definite line. What does this mean???

    When we were trying for our second, I got pregnant right away and could tell I was feeling sick right away, so I tested 3 days after I was due. And just like with my daughter (where I tested 2 weeks in) the second line was very very faint...I mean almost needing a magnifying glass. My OB said there are just some women who don't test well with this but there was no doubt.

    As usual, please go to your doctor and have an official office test done - you'll be better off and can get started with vitamins, etc, in case you haven't yet.

    I had the same issue! I would suggest either making a Dr's appt or buying one of the digital prego test (yes, they are mor exepensieve), but it state specifically "pregnant" or "not pregnant." Congratulations!

    I had a false positive once, where one line was faint. I assumed that meant that I was pregnant (wouldn't have been happy news for me at the time), but the doctor told me "nope". So false positives do happen sometimes.

    Apparently, they are very rare though, so I agree with the others, retake test tomorrow, and call your doctor ASAP!

    So I took another test this morning, and it did the same thing. So all 3 tests in the box look identical. Hoping this isn't just a manufacturers error. Made an appointment and going in this morning at 11. I'm so nervous I feel like I'm gonna throw up lol. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I think I'm failing miserably!

    If there's 2 lines, even if the first one is lighter than the other, you're pregnant. Congrats :)

    A line is a line. I've taken the same test, and I had no line at all. Someone I knew also took the test and had a faint line like yours, and they were indeed pregnant!

    Congrats! :)

    A line is not a line I found out at the doctor's today. Their test came back negative. I won't be buying First Response pregnancy tests again that's for sure. I'm pretty bummed :frown:

    Sorry to hear this! My false-positive came from a First Response too.

    That stinks. :-( I'm sorry, I know it's frustrating when you're trying.

    I'm actually a big fan of the Dollar Tree pregnancy tests. They are only $1 so you don't feel bad taking one like every day from the day you're late. And they are just as accurate (actually more accurate in some cases) as the more expensive brands. The Dollar Tree also carries $1 ovulation tests which can be helpful in trying.

    When I first got pregnant with my second child, I just knew I was pregnant by the symptoms I was having. I took a test at home, but it was negative. Still not sure, I went to the doctor. They did a blood test and it was negative. A few weeks later, I had them redo the blood test and sure enough, it was positive. Give it some more time and see if you start having symptoms. I'm not saying get your hopes high, but some women don't produce as much hormone early on.

    ^That's true, some ladies just don't get a postive until later. If you still don't get your period, wait like a week and test again. You could have ovulated later than usual (which would delay a positive test b/c the hormones wouldn't be as high as you'd expect from your LMP) or you could just be one of those women that just don't get postive tests early on. It could really go either way. Wait a week or two and test again if your period hasn't showed up.
