I think you are pregnant. It doesn't matter how light or dark the line is-if there is a line, then it is picking up the pregnancy hormone HCG. There are a variety of clinics, such as planned parenthood, that will confirm pregnancy and do early ultrasounds. Good luck!

I'm sorry, hon, but you are pregnant.
I can say this with absolute certainty. With pregnancy tests, you need to wait until your hormones reach a certain level before a test will work. You can’t test the day after you have sex, for example – a test will usually only be positive around the date of your missed period. False positives are almost 100% impossible. A light positive is still a positive. You should go to a doctor ASAP – they will do a blood test, and can help take you through the options.

A line is a line, no matter how faint. It being faint just means you are early on in the pregnancy. (a negative one with numerous positive means that the test might not test for HcG levels that "high" ) Most counties have a health clinic. Or you can go to plannedparenthood.com and search for one in your area, they charge you based on your income. Good luck!

Pregnancy tests measure a certain chemical that would only be excreted if you are pregnant. If your tests are showing a faint line the chemical just hasn't built up enough in your system for the test to measure accurately but the fact that it is there at all means that you are pregnant. Best of luck.

i think your PREGNANT in a few days those lines will get darker if you retest HCG doubles every 3 days so you are just now putting off enough HCG to be detected barley by the test I AM + YOU WILL GET A DARKER LINE IN A FEW DAYS. Even without insurance you NEED pre natal care vitamins check into a health clinic that goes by income or see if you can get a state medical card "if you are pregnant and low income YOU CAN GET medical assistance". You must see a doctor

You're pregnant. You should go to a doctor to have it confirmed. It is sometimes overly sensitive, but you've had a positive test from a couple of different types. That probably means it's right. It is light because it is early in pregnancy.

Well it sounds like you're pregnant. I know you said you have insurance, however, you can go to your local health department and I think they provide pregnancy test for free. I wish you the best of luck and I hope if you are its good news for you and your spouse/boyfriend!

sounds like you could be pregnant.. you can go to planned parenthood or to a free woman's clinic.. look it up online in your community... planned parenthood usually offers free pregnancy tests and can help you out... if you are pregnant, you can sign up for WIC to help out with food, and then feeding for the baby if you plan to bottlefeed or food for you if you breastfeed. hope it works out for you... if you're not pregnant either abstain next time, or use some protection.. doesn't seem like you are ready for this type of situation right now.

Honey, I think you're preggers. Mine were faint too, and I definitely had three kids. The best test , I think is the clear blue easy. Ask the pharmacist which is the best. His advice would be free.

A line is a line. 3 false positives is pretty much impossible, but false negatives happen sometimes. So... congrats.. your pregnant.
