I took an equate pregnancy test and there was a faint line that would indicate pregnancy. I am I pregnant?

Answer 1

I'm betting so...I took an Equate pregnancy test back on August 3rd and had a faintly positive line...took another that afternoon and the line was much darker. I'm now 11 1/2 weeks pregnant. Be sure to test again and call your doctor. They can do a blood test to make sure.

Answer 2

You could be but if u test to early u can get a false positive. My advice wait a few weeks and test again or go to the doctor.

False negative readings can occur when testing is done too early. Quantitative blood tests and the most sensitive urine tests usually detect hCG shortly after implantation, which can occur anywhere from 6 to 12 days after ovulation.[1] Beta hCG levels rise exponentially in the first two months or so of pregnancy so the earlier the test is performed, the higher the chance of a false negative result. Less sensitive urine tests and qualitative blood tests may not detect pregnancy until three or four days after implantation. Menstruation occurs on average 14 days after ovulation, so the likelihood of a false negative is low once a menstrual period is late.

False positive results can result from diseases like choriocarcinomas, IgA deficiencies, heterophile antibodies, enterocystoplasties, gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN), and testicular germ cell malignancies. Also, many home pregnancy tests show a positive or unclear result when read well after the suggested 3-5 minute window, independent of an actual pregnancy; this type of false positive is also known as an evaporation line. Additionally anyone who has been given an hCG injection would also give a false positive.

Some individuals react to some substrate in the test and thus will display a consistently low positive blood pregnancy test even though they are not pregnant. This phantom hCG may lead to serious misdiagnosis and intervention, but can be detected with serial dilutions. Patients with phantom hCG have a positive blood hCG but a negative urine hCG test.[

I took two equate pregnancy tests and the display window had a very very very faint line indicating pregnancy both times... I went to the dr. and I was pregnant!!

False positives are rare. ... I would bet you are. Congrats!

Answer 4

Chances are if a faint line showed up than you are pregnant, go buy another test to be sure

Answer 5

Sometimes, there is not enough of the pregnancy hormone to give a strong sign. I would guess you probably are and you should repeat the test in a few days. The strongest test is the first morning urine.

Answer 6

It is possible. Your body might not produce large amounts of the hormone that makes a pg test come out positive. I would go to your dr to be on the safe side. Early prenatal care is important. Good luck either way.

Answer 7

In my personal experience, I would say yes, you probably are pregnant. Test in a few days again, give your hormone levels a chance to raise for a stronger test result.

Answer 8

I'll say you are,but you probably did test early. let a few weeks pass and then do another one and then you'll know for sure.
when i was pregnant with my 2nd child i did 1st test i think two or three weeks after and i got faint line. and then i did one week or two after and that line was as strong as it can be...

Answer 9

yes i took one of those two weeks ago and it was a very faint like and i went to planned parenthood to make sure and the test there was also positive so i would say yes

Answer 10

A line is a line, no matter the shade. As long as it came up in the window time frame, then your pregnant. anything after could be just a evapration line.
