Pregnant Or Not? (faint Line On Hpt) Posted: 09-27-03 14:54pm
My last af was around augest 23rd. The
month it was on the 21st. It was
different this time though.
It came, wasnt very heavy, and ended early
in the morning on the 23rd. I took a hpt
today (brand was exact) and it showed a
very very faint pint line. Hard to see
but its there. The papers said a pink or
purple line is a posotive but it says
nothing about being faint.
I still have gotten af back and have
feeling a bit sick to my stomach through
the day. Also tired...Feeling very worn
out. Light cramping has been happening
also, about 2 to 2 1/2 inche above the
pelvic bone.
Does anyone know about pregnancy tests
well enough to try to judge what it could
mean?
Thank you,
alicia
It doesn't matter how faint it was, if the
line was there that means your pregnant!!
Let me be the first to say
congratulations!!!
Much love

Thank you jessika! Im so happy!!! :p
my fiance and I havent used protection
for about 3 years with no pregnancies.
But I think it was caused by my
endometriosis...
Anyway, thanks again!
Just to be possitive, im getting another
test in a week.
i just wanted to know what
was the outcome of this message you had
posted.

Dear alecia,
jess is right alecia, pink is positive no
matter how faint it is, and as the hcg
levels in your body rise in the next weeks
or so, when you go for your next test the
pink should be a lot stronger. Goodness
me we have been trying to get pregnant for
a while to now and spent a fortune on
pregnancy tests, feel like buying shares
in the company. Can't wait to hear from
you after your next test, don't forget us,
let us know, pleeeeease...
Take care...

Hello my name is ashley and I am 19 years
old, since I was 5 my mom and everyone has
been drilling in pregnancy symptoms in my
head, on the 16th on this month me and my
boyfriend had sex and he didnt let off
inside me and wasnt close but about 5 days
ago I started getting all kinds of
pregnancy symptoms, nausea change in
apetite, frequent urination, backaches,
sore breasts, headaches and
dizziness...But today I started and its
not as heavy as normal and normally I get
cramps before and this time nothing, just
all of a sudden...And today all of the
other stuff got worse, the nausea and
headaches, I cant stand up without getting
dizzy. Whats wrong with me?

But Still One Question... Posted: 09-28-03 18:24pm
Thanks everyone! Im extremely exited...
Ive been waiting for this day for a few
years now. And having endometriosis, I
didnt know if it would ever come.
Anyway, I still have a question. I know
you all say that a faint pink line is
always positive... Does that mean even
if you can hardly see it? I mean, my
fiance has worse eyes then me and he cant
see it. I can... Does that change
anything?
Also, dizziness. Is that a symptom of
pregnancy in some women? Its like im so
out of energy that I get dizzy and just
want to lay down. I mean, I know I could
just be sick because theres a really bad
flu going around, but that doesnt at all
explain the one day period. My
endometriosis has always made my period
very heavy and between 5 to 7 days. It
also would stop for a couple hours 2 or 3
days after it started, but then come back
and finish its cycle.
Im 18 and my fiance tom will be 21 in
november. Im just really confused I
guess.
We've been together over 4 years and 3
years out of that, we never used
protection. Ive never gotten pregnant
either... My period would be a day late
and id go out and buy a hpt just because I
hope too much and then id get a positive
and feel really low for the next week. I
dont want to get my hopes up just to watch
them fall.
Any advice?
Alicia

Dear alecia,
i don't blame you not wanting to get your
hopes up. The only thing I can suggest is
to take another pregnancy test in a week
from the tie you took your last one. That
way if you are pregnant, the hcg levels in
your body should have increased which
should give you a much stronger pink line
if you are pregnant. Otherwise wait 3 - 4
weeks from your last period and take a
blood test at your doctor, then you won't
have to wonder anymore, the blood tests
are as accuarate as they come.
Regards,
.::suzy::.

What someone at planned parenthood told me
once is that even a faint line is
positive. It's definately not a waste of
time to go to the Dr. Because then you
won't have to wonder.
Good luck to both of you and make sure and
let us know.
I had a very
faint line as well. I called my doctor
and he sent me for a blood test and it was
positive!! :d so I would just go ahead
and call your doctor!
