Q: Extremely Faint Line???

Hi im not sure when I ovulate and stuff like that but here is the whole story

my cycle is about 36-37 days. Had my menses on 07 nov. I had sex on 10 dec. And I suppose my expected menses would be coming around 14 or 15 dec.

Well indeed I had it on 14th but it was bright red , and very light for the first 2 days and 3rd day heavy then the last day(4th) light.

Yesterday morning, I did my test before going to work. I didnt see any line but I didnt throw it away. After work I saw the faint line ( barely could even see it) I kinda break open the test to make sure im not seeing things.
And I went to buy another test(diff brand) and within few mins I saw very very faint line, could only see it under light. So am I pregnant or not..

I dun think I wanna tell my hubby till I confirm it.

Today its like jan 02. So since conception I think I would have produce enough hcg I think

sorry for being too graphic and I hope u guys would advise and give me ur opinios. Thank u and sorry for a loooong post :)

Well when my friend first found out she was pregnant hers also showed a very faint line but if I were you I would use the e.P.T certainty test. Instead of showing lines they simply say "not pregnant" or "pregnant." I did it 3 times all in the same day and they all came up pregnant. Good luck

Hi hmmm but I dun think we have that. Im not from us and I think from what I read from this forums that the only common brand we have is clear blue....


I dunno if im being paranoid but past few days... Like 1 week after that my menses or spotting, I kinda pee alot. Every glass of water, within 15 - 30 mins ill pee but just a lil
and my breast is getting firmer, like before menses. Im not sure if the reason is im ovulating..

Kinda impatient...

I took my first test on october 28. I had concieved on october 16. The line was so faint, I was not even sure I was pregnant. I kept taking them, more from shock. I am 13 weeks today.

If you are in canada, I took the early response test, I think thats what its called.

I was told by my doctor, that as long as the test was done right, a line is a line.

Retest in the am, first morning pee works best.

Good luck

I don;t know. I tsounds like you had your period when you were supposed to even though it was weird, you still bled. As for positives, if you leave a test for a while vapour lines can sometimes show up so that is why you need to see the results within the time frame they say.
I would retest tomorrow morning. Good luck.

lots of women still get a normal and regular period for the first few months of their pregnancy...So bleeding doesn't always mean anything.


I think that you got a line, and that is something, and you should go see a doctor and get a blood test done. Some women never produce enough pregnancy hormones to get an accurate reading, even in there 8 and 9th month. Good luck!

Can be an indicator of a variety of things. I would just retest in the am. I also tried clearblue that night I first found out I was pregnant. I could see the line, barely but it was there

I'm With You!!
Ok my story is I am late now on my period. The 27th I took a test and it was - but later that night I looked again and there was a very very very faint line and it was pink, vap lines are supposed to be gray. So the next day I did another test and it was the same thing only after bout 5-7 hours the line was darker then the day before. So I waited until the 30th and the same darn thing. My friend made me take another test later that day and same thing. So I went and got my blood drawn friday. Sat I did another test and this time the very faint line came up within 20 min but was no darker then the previous tests. I called the lab and my blood work was negitive. We are running the qualitative test that shows if there is any hcg whatsoever in the blood and that comes back tues I will take a test in the morning on tues also. Anybody got any ideas? I'm a little more tired, but that could be stress and my breasts are fuller, maybe bigger nipples are sensitive but not painful and breasts are not painful. Sorry tmi but any help would be great!!

I do not want to give you a false glimmer of hope but the faintest, barely visible line is all that we had. Exactly 14 days after the insemination procedure. I was very cautious because we had been trying for 4 years but this was the only time we had ever seen even the faintest line anad it was a real positive.

I hope you have a great result and I wish you all the luck in the world.
