    Those tests are known to do that so please take a couple of other brands of test...the blue dye ones are said to be less reliable

    I'm a certified lab tech. The line will not turn blue unless there is beta-HCG in the urine. However, the more concentrated the urine the stronger the color change will be. Whenever I ran pregnancy tests in the ER (different positive indicator, same methodology, I called the slightest color change a positive.

    That being said, historically, the incidence of false positives with home kits has been slightly higher than visual indicator kits used in clinical laboratories. Nevertheless, they still have a good track record. This would be a definite positive in my book.

    That is what happened to me when I was pregnant with my daughter, so in my experience, yes. Good Luck!

    It's a negative. Just thought you all should know what to look out for if it happens to you or someone you know. I did some research about blue dye tests and they are notorious for giving false positives, which is what happened to me. Thank you all for your responses! :)

    I would get a pink-dye test just to make sure.

    oops :( Sorry, I just saw you posted that. It is very, very true. I'm also TTC (been trying for a year since a miscarriage last year and it took 2 years the first time), so I understand the disappointment.

    A blue dye test are common for false positive... Wait a couple of days and test again with first morning urine, but use a first responce or answer test.. Pink dye will not run like blue dyes do.. Good luck!

    Hi, I was just wondering was it a positive? I just had this happen to me with the same exact test.

    Mine always did the same thing... they were very weak, even looked negative at first, but about 15 min later there was a VERY faint line. I would say you are pregnant.

    I am a certified lab tech. Any positivity is a positive test, and it is faint due to low levels beta-HCG. So, it a appears you are a "little bit" pregnant. ????

    That would be unusual, but can happen. Best wishes your way.
