Is It a Positive?
Posted: 03-09-06 17:46pm

I took a pregnancy test earlier in the afternoon and it showed up positive. And then I took one just awhile ago and theres a very faint line of positive. So i'm kinda confused am I still pregnant? Cuz theres a really faint line now.

I was the same way both times I took the test, my line was very faint.Anything in the pregnancy box is a detection of the pregnancy hormone, and where theres a hormone.....Theres a baby! Im almost 9 weeks.

Its chemistry actually when you are prego your bod ymakes certain hormones and a prego test is designed like litmis paper to change colors as a reaction to certain chemicals if they are present. So in order for a line even of the faintest color to show you would have to be producing a pregnancy hormone. As for the rare false positive I think that occurs when your bodys tryin to trick ya
