Ok, I was going to wait til I was late to
test, but I couldnt. I tests today and got
a faint positive. Although the test I got
is invalid after 5 min instead of 10. I
did this to make sure I didnt get a false
positive like last time.At first there was
nothing then bam, a second line, but the
thing is, it was dark at first then it
moved acrossed the stip and faded but
there is still a faint pink line where the
test line should be. It wasnt a pee stick
I used it was just a test strip. So if the
line pops up all of the sudden a couple
minutes after taking the test then fades a
way a few later and there is still a faint
pink line, is it a positive? i have never
used this kind of test before. (It was
less then 5 min when the line showed up).
I dont want to get my hope up.

I'm confused. Is the test you used an hpt
test? you say that it was just a test
strip - what's the brand name?
Even if you got a faint pink line
indicating a positive test, then I would
say that you are pregnant, but just to be
sure, I would go and see your doctor and
have them administer a test (urine or
blood). This way you can be positive!
Good luck

Its an hpt, but it weird, its just a
strip, I dont know if you have ever taken
apart an hpt before, but the strip inside
of it, that is what it is like, I dont
know the brand name, I ordered them
because it was cheaper, I took another
this morning, and a second line showed up
almost instantly, so its a for sure
positive. I am waiting to get a couple
more positives before going to the doctor
and see if my period still doesnt come,
but my cycles are irregular so I dont know
when to expect it. but I will test again
in 2 days, if that one is positive I will
go to the doctor. also the
lines are really faint, so the one in a
couple days should be darker and easier to
see.

I know the kind she means.
it will show a dark line when your urine
hits the dye strip that line will then
move along the strip with your urine.
once your urine reaches the end of the
strip, if there is still a line then it's
a positive.
is it a pink dye or blue dye test?
the blue ones are notorious for false
postives and negatives.
the pink are rather accurate.
it does tell you exactly how to use the
test and shows you what a positive looks
like on the pack.

well, i went to the doctor today and my
urine test there was negative. I really
dont know how I can get 3 pos hpt's then a
neg urine at the doctor's. She told me to
come back if my period still doesnt come.
Or maybe Im not pregnant. I dont know the
accuracy of test strips.

I would wait and see if you miss your
period. But honestly hon, it's more likely
that you were misusing the test strips at
home or reading them incorrectly. The
people at the doctor's office test urine
for pregnancy all the time and know how to
do it correctly, whereas someone at home
is more likely to either test incorrectly
or read the results incorrectly.
I'm not trying to burst your bubble - I
hope I don't come across that way. I would
wait and see if your period comes. If it
doesn't, test again or request a blood
test from your doctor. Good luck!

wow, what a wait its been, I didnt misread
the strips. I am still getting positives
from store bought tests ( more clear
positives) . thanks anyway! Sorry If I
seem a little irritable my back aches, and
my abdomen is really achy too. Not only
that but Iam tired and hungry and hot all
the time. But I cant sleep. Will have to
wait to get a blood test, I dont have
insurance anymore. and there are no
testing clinics where I live.
also the
lines are really faint, so the one in a
couple days should be darker and easier to
see.
