Am I Pregnant? I Hope Not!
Posted: 08-24-04 13:22pm

My period usually comes the 1st week of the month and last 2 months it came 1 week before around the 22nd. I have not had my period yet this month. My breasts have been really tender and my tummy has been real making those funny rumbling sounds like your hungry solid the last 2 days. I may be paranoid also and it may be nerves. I have also started curves workout 4 times a week since august 1st and never worked out before then so my bosy is changing.
I took 2 preg tests yesterday because I was paranoid and the answer brand came out positive but line was real faint and I freaked and went out and got the ept test and took that an hour later and it was negative after the 5 minute wait but showed up positive real faintly an hour later. I am so confused. What do you guys think? Am I just paranoid?
Thanks in advance

When you took the second test an hour later you probably didn't have enough hormone to show up.
If you are not using first morning (overnight in bladder) urine, you need to make sure it is at least 4 hours old (in bladder) and that you haven't have an excess to drink (will flush and dilute hormones)
positive tests are rarely wrong negative ones can be wrong.
Even a faint line positive is rarely wrong (maybe be faint because urine not strong/old (in bladder) enough, very early in pregnancy etc)
my advice would be to either take another test (making sure the urine is strong enough) or pref get a blood test.
If you don't want to be pregnant you need to find out fast so you can consider your options if you are pregnant and it does sound as if you could be.
