Pregnancy Info HOME

Anyone?

sorry, but your explanation is not very clear to me. Did you take the Digital test? If so you would get a + or a - sign and it is very clear what you see. If it was a regular test then the faint line can be a possibility that you are pregnant. Let me know which test you did and I'll try and help you.

A.V - I know what test you're talking about hun. I did exactly the same test myself. There have been some contradictions about whether the second line, no matter how faint, means a positive or not. In my position this happened: I had a set of 3 clearblue digitals. The first 2 were negative and no 2nd line on the test. The 3rd test had a second line after I tested 9 days later. After this I had a further 4 faint positives. So I would test again with another pregnancy brand or see your doctor for confirmation via a blood test. Even when it say snot pregnant you can be pregnant. Personally I would go with the second line you saw. Any line, including a faint line means HCG has been found. When HCG has been found this is usually a strong indication that you are pregnant. So see your doctor as soon as possible.

R - You aren't talking about the digital test. The + or - sign is actually the clearblue easy test. The digital has a seperate test stick which you insert into the test holder once the flashing symbol indicates you to do so. Then it gives you a reading within 3 minutes, either a pregnant or not pregnant, spelled out in words. But this test can be faulty. If you see a 2nd line its advised to retest with a different brand. :o)

A.V I agree with T, you should test with a different brand to be sure. T - Through my experience I highly believe in the digital test because I was only a few days pregnant and it gave me a possitive sign where another test was negative (the doctor had to do 2 tests one negative one had a faint line). However the ClearBlue digital I used is exactly what you sidcribed with the flashing and the insertion but no words, just a bold + sign, and the negative sign is prettey easy to read too. Anyway it's helpfull to know that there are different digital tests being distributed through the same brand. Thnx for the info :o)

r, I took the digital one exactly how T describes, and I saw two lines and one was the control and the other was Faint. Well T it sucks that you say that those test can be faulty because I took two and they were the same results with the faint line and I just bought two more because I was thinking that they might be more sensitive to hcg then others. Darn I was all happy. Well I guess I'll see tomarrow when I take another.

BUMP

R - Your welcome. Glad I could help. There is some different digitals going around.

A.V - Dont worry. With clearblue digital, even though it said not pregnant but you had a second line, I would still think this is a positive. In my situation I had several more positives. So I would go with your gut instinct and contact your doctor even if the next tests are negative. Ask for a quantitative blood test. This is very accurate.

I actually called the company because I had the same thing happen to me. The company specifically directed me to completely ignore the test strip itself. They said the ONLY results you should EVER go buy with their test was the digital reading itself- "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". I hope this helps.

Thanks Cassie, I guess all their test strips have a second line appear on the test because I took 3 already and all had a very faint second line but the not pregnant on it and I'm three days late already, maybe it's not the test to use if you're less than a week late. I don't know I don't want to spend anymore money on test I've spent tons already. I think I'll just go for a blood test to be certain.

I used clear blue + or - style, period 4 days late and almost instantly the faintest of faintest positive sign showed.I made appt. for dr. for pregnancy test...positive.From what I've read a faint positive is probably a positive.

Thanks Kate, I guess I'll just wait till the end of the week to see if af arrives if not I'm going for a blood test, Cassie did you turn out to be pregnant after taking that test? I'm confused cause I still don't have my period.

bump

Cassie - Thats true but they have to say that to cover their backs incase the tests gives a Not Pregnant when the woman actually is.
A.V - You dont always get a second line. I didn't in my case. Only on my final test when I was 2 months late. So I would do some more tests or see your doctor.

Thanks T you've been very helpful, I do find it odd that all three that I' ve taken would have a faint line on them so tonight I 'm gonna by a different brand and test in the morning. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again for everyone's imput I still would appreciate anymore advice.

A.V - Your welcome and I hope its a positive for you. If it isn't I would still see your doctor for a blood test.

Hi T it was still negative, but still no period. What's going on? I wonder how long it's taken people to get a positive on the hpt. How many days without af?
