my husband and I are ttc and I took a pregnancy test on monday just to see. I missed my period last month do to stress (as my doctor seems to think) and I wasnt pregnant (blood test was negative) we only started trying as of like 2 days after missing my period. if I had gotten my period I would be due again next week, but I wanted to test just because I missed it last time so I'm not sure if I would be due the same time...anyways...I knows it early, but when I tested I used clear blue which is supposed to form a plus sign if pregnant and just a line if not. the line showed up to mark the not pregnant, but where the line should cross to make the plus sign I got a few dots show up (the lines are made up of little blue dots) I tested again and got a few more dots show up....could it be that I just dont have enough hormone to change it or is it just a fault in the test? I'm going to test again the end of next week, but Im just curious as to what you all think. Thanks!

I have heard a lot of complaints on those tests as well. I would use a different brand of test to find out for sure. According to the directions on those though it says a line is a line no matter how faint. So it is very possible that you are preg and its too early. Wait a couple of days and test with a different brand of test. Hope that helps!

There are quite a few complaints about that test. Try a First Response Early Result test. It detects the lowest levels of Hcg and the results are more clear. Also, for pictures of what a positive, faint or not, is supposed to look like, try this website:

They have info on pregnancy tests as well as pictures of faint and stronger positives for quite a few brands of tests.
Good luck!

Try a different test. Either two lines if pregnant, only one line if not. If you get even a faint second line, it is positive (which you may get since it is early) This +/- is confusing!! EPT is a great test. Read at 5 minutes no later as sometimes is just darkens all funky and looks positive. If there are not two lines at 5 minutes then negative. Good luck!!

You need to see your doctor and have a blood test done to check your HCG level. It may have been too soon to be detected the HCG on the urine test. You may be pregnant because the dotted line detects the HCG and shouldn't have appeared at all.
