Q: Freaking Out What Are the Chances Its Wrong

Okay before I get the lectures let me just say that I have been using protection and I was about to go on birth control. This morning I don't know what it was but something told me to take a hpt. I've had really sore nipples but I get that as a period symptom too and a sore lower back which I never get. So I took the test and it was positive. I mean the one line is really dark the second line is very faint but clearly visible. Now I know that this is a pointless question but whats the chances that its a false positive or not a positive at all cause the line is really faint and this happened to me before I thought I saw a second line but now that I see this one I mean I can actually see this one... Sorry i'm babbling but this is a total shock and i'm a little scared. Just... Is there anyway that it could be wrong?

Its possible for it too be wrong highly unlikely though, but your best chance if you need to know right now is get another one possibly another brand and try again if it comes up positive again than you are. Hope that helps

The only time this month that I had sex was on the 17th. So I mean technically i'd only be 2 weeks along but my last period was july 1-7 so they would count that as 4 weeks, right? So thats a reason the line is so faint because I don't have enough hormone for a darker line. I've never been regular and if I went by when I thought my period should show up i'm only 3 days late. But usually I get really bad cramps before my period and I havent' gotten them so thats kinda what made me think something was off. I'm just so confused I mean I want to test again but maybe I should wait a week so the hormone can get stronger?

Did you have sex before you last period some ppl still get there period even if they are pregnant so say if you had sex 20/6 you may still have got your period and now that would make you about 5 weeks but yeah your right your hormones may not be high enough right now but its still highly unlikely your not pregnant if there was 2 lines is it a bad thing if you are pregnant? If you dont mind me asking

I don't know if its a bad thing... I mean my family is going to be shocked I know that but I also know that once it wears off I will have their support 100%. And I am finacially able to care for a baby. And I know that it takes a lot to raise a baby but really money won't be a problem. If I am for sure pregnant theres no choice for me but took keep it. I mean I don't believe in abortion and I could never carry a baby for 9 months and then give it away. If I am then I am and i'll deal with it and love it. It's just going to be hard to tell the father because I know he didn't want kids, but he also told me once that if it ever happened that he wouldn't just walk away from his responsibilities and hed want to be a part of its life. I'm not going to say anything to him until I know for sure though and then I guess we'll see if he really meant it.

Ok well as I said before if you wana know before you can go to the doctors than maybe buy another and get another brand this time but even if it is negative its still a good idea to go to the doctors anyway if you dont mind but how old are you?

Hey there!


You said you only had sex with him once this month, on the 17, with the first day of your last period being on the first. The 17th would have been on or right around your most fertile day (which would explain why you have a good chance of being pregnant lol). Have you taken another test? Has it come back positive?



If you need to talk anyone, I am 21 turning 22 at the end of the year and just found out I am pregnant. Me and the hubby to be are very excited!

Hey, no I haven't taken another test yet (have to wait for the stores to open at noon). And I do want to test again but i'm thinking maybe I should wait a couple days. Right now i'm just so confused about it all. I mean already i'm questioning the things I should do or shouldn't do or drink or shouldn't drink lol. It's crazy. I mean I drink a lot of diet pepsi but I don't think its good for the baby is it?

Congrats on your pregnancy by the way and good luck with it. I'll keep you posted on what happens. :)

It might be a good idea to wait a few more days... Do you know what day your period would be due on? Do you have a 28 day cycle? I do and my last period started on june 30th, I was due for my period on july 28th.. I missed it. If you have the same cycle as me, your period should of started on friday. Usually any time you test after a missed period, it will come up positive if your pregnant.


As for drinking alot of diet pepsi.. I dont think you have to stop drinking it, but you will definitely have to start drinking more water. I am the same way, I drink alot of regular coke lol, but hydration is really important while pregnant. I already had 2 cokes today... But here I am trying to chug down a 16.9 fl oz bottle of water haha.


Thank you for the congrats and yes, definitely keep us updated!

My periods aren't regular but I should have gotten it around thursday so i'm 3 days late. But sometimes I can be a couple days to a week late, although when I have tested before when I was late i've never got a positive result. Once I thought I did but the test messed up and all the other ones came back negative. So if I am I guess i'm about 4 weeks pregnant. That just sounds so weird :roll:

thank god for not having to give up diet pepsi lol. I don't drink much water but i'll be sure to now. Thanks for all your help. Btw how far along are you?

I couldn't hold off so I took another test and the second line was still there, a little fainter than the first time (probably because it wasn't first morning urnine) but still visible. So I guess that means i'm pregnant. I'm going to try and get a doc appointment for wednesday. This all just seems to overwhelming....

That's usually the first sign of being pregnant, your boobs really hurt, especially when your nipples get hard, on my period I never had sore boobs, so when I got sore boobs I knew from the start.

I was on a form of birth control when I got pregnant!
