I took a walgreens test compare to clearblue 3 days before my periods & the line appears but its too light & faint. Am i pregnant? It says on the cover that if test line is same as control line or darker then its positive, but does the light line means something?...Pls help!

Get a better test. Like one line = yes, two lines = no, or something really simple like that. Take the test again following the directions again. We cannot see into your bathroom and decipher that for you.

If there is a faint line then yes your pregnant. If there is any line there at all, whether it is really light and you can hardly see it or dark as can be, you are pregnant. It being so faint means that you aren't very far along and if you take another one in a couple of days it will come out a lot darker.
Congratulations.

You should wait until after you've actually missed your period. That is when the test will be most accurate. Before you miss your period, there's usually not enough of the pregnancy hormone for the test to pick up on, unless you're using an early response kind, and even then sometimes it doesn't work.
Wait a couple days, and try another one, and be sure to use your first morning urine, as it would have the highest concentration of the hormones that the test would be looking for.
Good luck!

Once again, ANY second line is positive on a home pregnancy test. It sounds like you got an Ovulation Predictor Kit, which measures an entirely different hormone, and may always have two lines, which is why you have to compare the shades on that one. Go get another test and try again. Go to www.peeonastick.com for a better explaination of how each test works.

If it's a pregnancy test it would be a line if pregnant and no line if not pregnant.
The ovulation tests show 2 lines when you are Oing but the instructions will tell you that the test line should be equal or darker than the control line.
Make sure you have pregnancy tests. If so get a different brand, either Equate from Walmart or CBE Digitals

I had the same thing happen when I took an at home test. It was a very light line. 9 months latter I had a little boy. I would suggest that you use another one in a few days if you are uncertain. But you probably are.

It means you are pregnant the line is to show that you have the pregnancy hormone that is what the test is looking for it just means that it was low and it is the beginning of your pregnancy if you don't trust it take another one with the first pee in the morning and that will tell you for sure Hope you are happy with the results.

I would suggest to retake the test a day or day after your period should start. I am now 39 weeks pregnant. When I was testing, about 2 days before my period I went to gynocologyst and he told me I was negative. 3 days after I retested (with home pregnancy test) since my period did not start and I was positive. There is always a chance of misreading before the period. So please retake! :) good luck
