Q: Pleez I Dont Know How This Could Be???

Hey everyone....Its been a while since ive been on this forum. I can see its still going strong. I know how fustrating long stories can be so as u girls give me advice I will fill u in on extremely important information. I just need help so bad. I have been with my fiance for 1 year now. In past relationships I have had countless failed attempts to concieve. In january I went to a clinic to get a preggy test. It came back positive. Later I went to a different clinic to get a blood test done to see how far along I was. A few days later they said there was no sign of pregnancy in my blood. I had a strong feeling I was pregnant. By the end of that month I was in a restroom bleeding with horrible pains. These were no period cramps I have ever had. The blood was chunky..I knew I was having a miscarriage. I took a preggy test thursday and the first thing I noticed was 1 line. I put the test away and later on that day I took a look at it again. A faded pink line appeared along with a dark line. There was no mistake that there was 2 lines. A couple days later I took another one this time it was negative. How can this be? Now as I write im in pain and im beginning to spot. Im scared im nervous I really need advice. I really appriciate it.

Im not sure I really understand what you are asking. Do you think you're pregnant now, and you took 3 test 2 negetive 1 positive? I would go have a blood test done, or a urine test at the health dept

No back in january I went to a clinic and got a positive result. But I had a miscarriage that same month. Next month its going to be a year since it happened. Now I think im pregnant. I took a test and got 2 lines. 1 line was faded. I retested and it came back negative. Right now im beginning to cramp up, but I dont know if its period cramps or not. If I stay still for a while and relax the pains subside. Im asking if it sounds like I can be pregnant. How can I get a positive result on 1 test and a negative on another. The positive test was light and faded. The first line came clear and later a light pink line appeared with it. But the negative test confused me.

If you wait to long another line could appear but it still would be negative... If you read the directions then you would know there is a time limit....

Why would that happen? So are u sayin it doesnt sound likely that I can be pregnant. Why didnt the other test appear the same if that was the case? I did the same thing on both tests but I got 2 different results!!

How long did it take for the second line to appear?

Ok, if you set the test down, and looked at it a while later, and a new line was there, I would just consider it negative, because it could have been an evaporation line. If you took another one, and it came up negative, I would believe that one. I doubt you are pregnant.

most pregnancy tests show two lines after a long time regardless of the result. The only result that matters is the one that shows up within the first 10 minutes after using the test.

A negative test is only valid for 10 mins after the test is done.
This is because the moisture soaks the blue/pink dye into the test lines over time.
It does say in the leaflet that a test result should be disregarded after 10mins and that a false result may occur if read after this time.

A positive will show up straight away because the pee soaks past the test line first before it gets to the "test working" line.
So if you have one line after 3 mins that is your result if you have 2 lines after 3 min that is your answer.

You asked about implantation bleeding. If you know when you ovulate this should be easy for you to figure out. Implantation bleeding does not happen with everyone, in fact, most people never get it. I.B is when the egg digs into the uterine wall to continue growing. Some women experience extremely light spotting, rarely no more noticable than a few spots on toilet paper. It happens 6-10 days after ovulation, thus the previous statement regarding your cycle.
About the second line, unless otherwise specified, hpt's are only valid for 10 minutes after they are used. Because of the cover over the little window, a second line often develops bc of the heat and moisture from the urine, thus called an evaporation line.

Do you have any more questions? I can try to find you an article on it if you would like.

Before I got pregnant the second time, I thought I was pregnant and took a pregnancy test. There was just the 1 line within the first couple minutes so I thought it was negative. I looked at the test again about 5 minutes after that and there was a faint pinkish grey line. I thought it was postive, it looked very postive actually. I called the company and asked them and they said it was most likely a ghost line, and that ghost lines usually appear which is why there is a time limit to not read the test after a certain number of minutes. Cause a lot of women think thier getting a positive when really its still negative. Someone on a message board told me maybe I wasn't far along and it was just barely picking up on the hcg levels so I would get a lighter result. The person I talked to on the phone said if it picked up any hcg level it would still result in a darker positive.
Anyways i'm babbling.. I wasn't pregnant, that was just the ghost line which is most likely what you saw on the test you thought was postive. So don't freak yourself out to bad and if I were you i'd take another test within a week or so.
