Why do you keep using that brand then??
Personally ive found the generic ones to
work as well as expensive ones...If not
better really.

Is it possible you had a chemical
pregnancy ( thats where you lose the
embryo very early on) and still have small
amounts of hcg still in your urine. I
would check into that further or try
another tests. I would try answer I have
always had perfectly accurate results with
them. Good luck!

You can basically take "real light lines"
as a positive...If its in the positive
area on the test. That is what happened
to me and it was just because I found out
so early on and thre wasn't that much hcg
in my system. But I was told as long as
you can see the line in the positive
section whether it was very light or
not....Take it as a positive.

Hi There Posted: 02-03-04 21:38pm
I think you need to go tho the Dr. When I
went to the free pregnancy center they
gave me a paper about the test I had that
day. It says even though the test
appeared positive it is possible you may
not be pregnant. For example, certain
medications or substances in your urine
can interfere with the test ans give a
wrong result. Also says if the test did
give a wrong result there may be other
reasons why you are not menstruating and
they recommend that you see a doctor as
soon as possible. I got that when I took
my 2nd test at "a caring place."
I had also had a home test where the
second line showed up light. She told me
they dont have to match and that it shows
up lighter when you are earlier like that
cause the hcg level is not yet as high.
