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.
