Or look for a Pregnancy Help Center in your area for a free pregnancy test.

You need to take another test. What you're seeing is probably an evaporation line, caused when the stick dries off over time.
When I thought I was pregnant (and I was, it turned out), I used the cheap dollar store brand, and when they came back positive, I thought I'd better buy oneof the brand names ones, and sure enough I got the same result, so I'd just get another one of the Dollar Tree ones, and try it again with first morning urine (first thing in the morning is the best time to test because of the higher concentration of the hormone that the test would be looking for).
Good luck!

I have had 5 kids.. i have bought the prego test from the dollar store too... they sure work. I had a 3 month old baby when i thought i was prego again---- FREAKING OUT!!!! I bought 5 of them they kept saying yes!!! and then i got a really expensive one, the expensive one did not work.. the dollar ones did.
But since you left it there so long, i would take another one, just to be sure. but if it is true.. girl your having a baby. it may be faint, but if you see that line at ALL it means that there is something in your body that is only in your body when you are prego. Good Luck.

It probably sat too long. Usually it only takes about 3 mins. for both lines to show if you didn't see them fairly quickly, the test is probably fine. However, whenever results are uncertain, it is important to retest with a new pregnancy test. By the way - I've found that those $1 pregancy tests work just fine. I've used them several times.

The dollar tree test work, but because you waited so long to check the test the lines are inconslusive. The lines were probably evaporation lines. Take another one and I hope you get the results you want.

I'm not an expert but having been through that myself twice all i can tell you is, I have had a negitive result and later pulled it out of the trash just to make sure, and Oh my god is that a faint second line? Well it was but not because i was pregnant at the time but because my urine had soaked enough through the test to get the tester screen wet enough to show up. I wouldn't be worried about. I flipped and went to the doctor and it was just that, to much time had passed and i was looking at a false second reading.

This can sometimes happen after it sits for so long, I too experienced this years ago. If I were you I would do one of two things, or both, I would go to a local drugstore or wherever and buy a brand name one, take it, if it is negative it's possible you're not, but if it too comes up with weird insufficient results then go to a local planned parenthood or your dr. whoever you're more comfortable with. There are alot of walk in clinics everywhere so check around if you're not comfortable with your family dr.
Good luck, I hope you get what you want!

I honestly wouldn't trust those $1 tests! If you want to be 100% sure you should go buy a more expensive one, maybe even the $8 one or whatever! You could also go to the clinic for free tests! Well good luck! I hope you get the results you want! Bye!

It can happen that after several hours a pregnancy test can turn from negative to positive because chemicals in the test can raise up and to be seen as positive.It never happened to me though as I was always checking" what if"!!!!Try to do another test again and another one few days later it should show hopefuly by that time

it's probably an evaporation line. take another one and see how that one does.
and honestly, I've heard the dollar store tests are just as good as the more expensive ones, but I haven't had a chance to try them out myself yet.
