I just wanted to see if any of you have had this happen??
It's a cheap test (the kind that reads - or +
I did one yesterday and a strong - apeared with a faint line crossing it. This morning first thing the same thing happened...the 'positive' line is so faint I wonder if it could actually be there...my husband sees it too but???Should there be ABSOLUTELY NO hint at a positive line if it is negative?

A faint line should be treated as positive, so I'd say you're PREGNANT!! The tests I've seen and my wife has used always say a faint line is a positive, by the way the cheap test work the same way as the expensive one and some work better then the more expensive ones.
You might not have built up enough hormones to make the line really pronounce, so I'd say treat yourself like you are pregnant. Don't drink, ETC I'm sure you heard it all. Wait a few days and test again.
Good luck.

A line, no matter how faint it is, will only appear if the test detects the hCG pregnancy hormone in your urine. Plus, you have had two of these test results. You probably took the test earlier than they suggest and the presence of the hormone is not strong enough to make the line darker. Wait a few more days before you take another test.
I'd say that you are pregnant. If you were not pregnant, no line would be present on the test.
Congrats.

A line shouldnt show up at all if its negative, it probably even says it in the instructions. Then to have 2 tests to show the same thing, it is positive. If it only happened with one test then Id say maybe something couldve been wrong with that test but since it happened with two tests then you should make an appointment with a ob-gyn. Good Luck!

You are correct. Its a positive.
A line is a line, no matter hoe faint. Wait a week and test again, the line should be a little darker.

The same thing happened to me, so we bought a more expensive one and it came back positive. It could be to early yet to tell, but you can wait a few days, or go to the doctor and have a blood test done. Good Luck

most likely you r going 2 b a mommy.the line should not b there at all if you arent.it appears by detecting a hormone released during pregnany you just probley arent far along and dont have alot of the hormone in your body. i would go 2 the doc 2 b sure but i think it is positive

I heard from a doctor themself that false positives don't happen. Maybe in the case you just had a baby or miscarriage and the harmones are still present. But it detects the hormone and if you are not pregnant the harmone won't be there. Therefore it doens't happen
