Is this a positive test?

Question

I missed my period last month and am currently changing pills. I had unprotected sex about 3 times during the week I was supposed to get my period at the end of last month. I have taken preg tests randomly since then to see if I got preg during that week. Next week would be when I am supposed to get my cycle based on break through bleeding about 4 weeks ago. I took a early preg test today and am wondering whether is it positive. In the pregnant space there is a white line...it may be faint but def. there. Is this a positive test?

Well, i took a digital test and it was negative...so i am guessing the white line i saw may have been the control line. If I still don't get a period withine 2-3 days I will take another. My only thing is that with my daughter the lines on the preg tests i took where very faint so I may just have to wait longer. Thanks everyone for their responses

NO
What's an evaporation line? Evaporation ("evap") lines result with the test's antibody strip just looks slightly different than the space around it. There is a line of antibodies (usually made from mouse cells) in the Control and Test section. The Control line binds with any liquid and turns pink (or blue, in tests using blue dye.) The Test/Result line turns pink only if pregnancy hormone is detected. If not, the moisture passes over this strip and does not turn pink. It may, however, become more visible when the light hits the moisture on the strip-- it may appear gray, colorless, like a "dent" in the test, or like a "ghost line." It may appear at any time-- as soon as the urine hits it, after a few minutes as the test absorbs the moisture, or after the 10-minute time limit. It may appear when the test is drying, or after it has dried. It may disappear as the test is drying, or after the test has dried, or not disappear at all.

The simple fact is that there is always "something there" that is slightly visible-- it's simply the antibodies on the test that would turn pink in the presence of hCG. When the test becomes wet, or as it dries, or after it dries, the antibody strip may become more visible. Therefore, all tests may have them. It is not a defect; it's just how tests are made.

A real positive is identified by its color (pink or blue, whatever the color of the test's dye is) and its appearance within 10 minutes of urinating on the stick. A line that appears after 10 minutes, regardless of color, must be considered an evap line and is caused by the test's chemicals changing. HPT's are rapid assay diagnostics, which means any results appearing after the "rapid" time limit of 10 minutes are invalid.

First off, calm down..it sounds like it's probably too early for you to be sure of anything and with you changing pills your body is probably all out of whack. Next think about your average cycle..a cyle begins the first day of your period and the average woman's cycle is 28days. So start at your last period day #1 and count 14days, that will be when you probably ovulated, then 14more days is when you should have gotten your period...most pregnancy tests will detect hormone levels the first day of your missed period. If you are unsure about your results, buy another test (EPT are really good) and try it again cause those test are not 100% accurate...then schedule an appointment with your OBGYN either way.

You will see a clear strip where the positive reaction line is laid into the background paper. You have to look hard to see it, but many women tend to think this is a positive sign.

Positive signs turn color as the hormone passes through the test line and reacts with the chemicals its treated with. Any color, no matter how faint is a positive sign.

A clear or white line (as the background paper is always white) is not a positive sign.

if you're still concerned wait a few days and test again, or just go to your OB and request blood work.

Answer 5

Since the line has no color, I would say you are NOT pregnant.
The positive line would have color.

Since it sounds like your period is not yet late, you are unlikely to get an accurate result. Wait a few more days then take a First Response test.

Meanwhile, whenever you are switching pills, if you don't want a baby, then its best to use condoms with spermicide. Otherwise, you might end up with a baby!

Answer 6

If any sort of line shows up instead of wasting all your money getting more tests just take your urine to any pharmacy. They can do preg tests and it only costs about 10 dollars. Any line indicates that the preg hormone has been found in your urine. You can get false negatives but not false positives. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Usually any line no matter how faint is a positive. Go see the dr and have them test. Congrats

Answer 8

Read the instructions on the box-all tests are different. It may just be the 'control line' which indicates that the test has worked.

Answer 9

If there is any line in the positive space you are prgnaut.. If ur on certain meds it could have an affect so call your doctor and make an appointment... Good luck girl!

Answer 10

A positive line will not be white...it will be color whether pink or blue. What you are seeing is the control line which is always there.

A line- faint or dark is a positive sign.

Try an ept or another brand.
