Answer 1

Ok I am a little confused. And I am sorry I am not familiar with this pregnancy test specifically. However I do know that all pregnancy tests have a time period after which they are expired. For the fast acting ones where you can find out within 5 minutes usually its after ten minutes whatever result you see they are no longer valid. That is because sometimes the chemicals mix and you will get a false positive after they mix and it sits making it appear like there is a line there. So really if you are seeing a line after it tells you not to look then you can not take that line into consideration.
However if you are within your time limit and you see a line then chances are you are pregnant. With pregnancy tests even a light line is still a line. It takes your body awhile to build up the pregnancy hormone and sometimes it barely registers on the test. What matters is that it registered at all!
Go to the doctor and find out for sure!
Good luck!!!

I want to know more about over-the-counter pregnancy tests. Does a faint line still mean positive?






The short answer is a qualified yes. A faint line usually means that you're pregnant. About a week after the woman's egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube, it travels down to the uterus, where it burrows in and starts releasing HCG, the pregnancy hormone.

If the levels of HCG are very low, the line will usually appear faint. There are two main reasons why the pregnancy hormone may appear low:

The woman is so recently pregnant that her HCG can barely be registered in her urine
Her pregnancy is further along, but she only releases a small amount of HCG.
In the first case, a common mistake women make is to take the home pregnancy test too early. Pregnancy tests are only accurate if they test at the right time! Testing needs to be done at least 10 days (and often longer) after fertilization. Many women make the mistake of assuming that they ovulated on that magical Day 14, and thus test by about Day 24. In reality, they may not have ovulated until Day 30, in which case testing through a home pregnancy test would be totally useless, until at least Day 40.

If a pregnancy test is "wrong,‚" it is more often a false negative rather than a false positive. In other words, it is quite common for a pregnancy test to appear negative, leading the woman to believe she is not pregnant, when in reality, she just tested too soon. Testing even a few days later will often reveal a positive. But it is imperative that she test at least ten days after fertilization, hence the value of women charting their fertility signs to know when they've ovulated. But it is very rare to have a pregnancy test show that the woman is pregnant when she really is not.

Answer 3

A faint line, even if its extremely light, is usually a sign that you ARE pregnant. The test you did previously, did not contain enough pregnancy hormone to show up positive, Its takes an average of 7 to 15 days to a show a positive outcome. I would now contact a OBGYN or your family doctor about what steps you can take now. If you don't have a family Dr., I would call your local planned parenthood, and they will discuss with you, your options. Good luck!

Answer 4

The same thing happened to me ... I waited 2 days and then did the test again .. the second time I did it, I got a definite positive .. sometimes you can test too early, and there is not enough of the Hormone in your urine for the test to detect.

If you still get a faint line, I would go to the Dr and ask for a Blood test, the blood test picks up really low levels

Good Luck!

Answer 5

sounds like you might be pregnant, most tests say that even a light line means you are pregnant. Try buying a better test, or test again and set the stove timer to remind you not to look more than five minutes later. If you get a line on that test call your doctor, she can give you a blood test which will be alot more accurate no matter your hormone level.

Answer 6

Well if the line is coming up lite give it a little longer with out touching it and then come back and see.
Don't touch the test until you are certain it is doing what is has to do because you can mess it up.


Good Luck..
