Light Pregnancy Test Result
Posted: 11-20-07 22:17pm

My DH and I have been trying for about 6 months. I have had a little trouble due to the fact that I have a low functioning thyroid (My levels are within normal due to meds). I took an early pregnancy test (one that can test up to 5 days before your missed period) at 3 days prior to missed period and got a positive. The next day I took another and got another positive. But both times the test line was fine but the positive line was light. Could this just be because it is before I have actually missed my period? I have done this for the last 3 months and it correctly said negative so I don't think it is a false positive but I am just concerned. Thanks,

If the line was there no matter how light it's positive. When I called to make first prenatal appointment they told me there was no such thing a false positive. So I think it's safe to say you're pregnant, congrats.

I read that there IS such a thing as a flase positive but it is very rare and down to the pregnancy test being faulty. The best thing is probably to go to your DR and get a blood test done. Much more accurate. x

There is always a chance that it could be an evaporation line. So your best bet is to retest in a day or two. By this time the line should be darker and than you will no for sure if you are preggo. Testing early can result in a faint line.....so your not out of the running yet.

Good luck!!
