The true reading is the one within the time frame given on the instructions. Most likely it was a evaporation line.

Designergal- we've been replying to eachother and you finally took a test! Well...The first hpt I took was the ept and after the correct and given time frame the ygive you either 3 or 5 mins. I looked at mine and I it had a faint pos. Too. You waited and looked after 15 mins. So im not sure but I did a lot of research and many, many sites and women who noticed/got this have become pregnant and even a hpt brand quoted "any sign is positive no matter how faint" "there are hardly any false " so in my opinion you are pregnant


congrats..But you'll just have to wait and see.


With me, I also took first responce after to make sure and I got a big neg:o( but what hpt did you use?

I went ot the docs and it was neg..They "highly think I am pregnant, they need me to come back in 2 weeks if I dont have my period" i've been feeling prego for a few weeks so idk if I am or not cuz I thoguht youd be able to tell if im a few weeks??


But it still isnt here and I have all the prego symptoms..

Hey stephie! Yeah I am really confused right now. I bought another test and will take it tomorrow morning. The brand I have been buying is a generic brand of ept...Still $10 a test! I read the directions after I posted and it said "do not interrprut results after 10 min." so, I am trying not to get my hopes up!

So did the doctor give you a blood test or a pee test? So weird that theirs came out negative even though you have all the symptoms and you are late. I would still say that you are preg! Keep me posted!

When I went to the womans clinic to get a urine test done and it came up with a really faint line after quite a while, she said it was because I was prob so earlie in my pregnancy (bout 5 wks she said) and may also be because it was in the afternoon. Best time is to take a test in the morning?
But if theres a faint line it must be positive.
Hopefully you are.
Gob bless.

The urine test at the dr is the same ones we take. It can take up to 7 weeks pregnant before positive will actually show. My daughter and myself both the same way. One dr even made me try and have a period(gave me a shot) with my youngest--cuz I was only 5 weeks and hpt did not show, and no results when doing pelvic either. I went back in 2 weeks, he says "yes your 7 weeks preg."

Well they told me to come back in 2 weeks. Said I could have gotten pregnant in nov. B/c my period is late and it might not be able to read it...Too early?

But today I got random spotting again. Chances are it is my period with my luck..If tomorrow I have my period im going to see how things go.

I have 2 friends who were late, took hpt n went to the doctors, all showed up neg. And were pregnant. One even got her periods and turned out she was 2 months after

ill see...I really doubt it now though, good luc kt oeveryone else though.

Symptoms are frustrating. Be patient. :)

When I took my pregnancy test there was a faint line aswell, it was because I wasnt that far along, I then waited 4 days, took another one and it came out much darker.

Im not sure about if you leave it somewhere & it changes. I still have both of my pregnancy tests as im putting them in the baby book, and they havent changed 1 bit since I first got them?

So I took another one this morning and after 5 minutes I could see a faint line again. It was kind of greyish at first....But then turned pink later. I wish these darn things could be easier to read! I think my odds of getting 2 bum tests in a row are low. We will see! Gotta get a blood test now..

I think you're pregnant.

If you had any kind of line within the reading time then you're probably pregnant.

Thank you everyone for your advice and input!
