a Faint Line On Hpt....help! Posted: 12-10-05 14:30pm
I am due to start my period 12/12. I took
a test 2 days ago and it came out
negative. I just took one this morning it
was negative....So I thought. I waited
about 5 minutes after I peed...It was
negative. I took it out of the trash 15
minutes later....And there was a faint
line. I mean faint...You can only see it
if you hold it up close. Can leaving it
sit for too long make it inaccurate?

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.
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..

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