Q: So I Tested...
asked by: Bridget on February 20th, 2006

I tested first thing this morning (with first response) and I shouldn't have. There is the faintest faintest faintest hint of a line and now i'm going to be obsessing over it. I should've just waited until af is late. It wasn't visible when I looked at the test sitting on the counter but when I held it up close and looked at it under the light there was a line. I don't know if it was a positive line and just not enough hormones to really set it off or if it was just where the second line is supposed to go. Does anyone know if you can see where the line is supposed to go even if it's negative? Oh well...Now I have to wait. Oh, and i'm not crazy but I had some prenatal vitamins left over so I took one just in case. I want it to be positive!

If you saw a faint second line, I would wait a couple of days and test again. I don't have much experience with hpts but I have heard that even if it is faint, a line is a line. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Let us know what happens.

Try testing in a few days, I heard that in just 2 days your hcg levels can increase quite alot so try then, I know that 2 days probably seems like years right now, but hang on in there and good luck!

Good luck for the test if you do it 2mor snowygirl, your really impatient like me lol! Let us know the result! :)

Well this was extremely light. I kind of had to hold it an angle and strain too see it, so who knows... I'm hoping! I'm so impatient i'm probably going to test every day until I get a definite positive or af comes. As for you, as long as you're not going to be too disappointed by a negative then I think you should go for it. You realize that you could get a negative because it's too early so I don't think it would hurt. It would be cool if we could be preggy together, so if this isn't our month maybe next month will be. Good luck! Keep us posted!

Faint Line
I don't want to be negitive, but if you had to hold it up to the light to see the line then I would bet on it being a true negitive. I have noticed those very faint lines where the line would be if it turned pink/blue (depending on the test) each month I have tested. From looking close each month, I determined that it is indeed just where the line would be. If you are seeing the same thing I did, the faint line isn't pink/blue, but more of a darker white if that makes any sense. The faint lines that I have heard of being actual positives have been light pink/blue depending on the test. Hope this helped.

My fingers are crossed for you.

This was definitely pink. Also, it showed up within 3 minutes so I don't think it was an evap line (even though I still don't really know what that means).

I just have one left which I plan on using tomorrow morning and then i'm going to go buy another 2 pack (always first response!). And if things look promising with tomorrow's test then i'm going to go to the mall and buy a boston red sox bib to give to my fiance to clue him in. I really really hope this is it. I'm so tired of the frustration and sadness.

For the first time in my life I woke up not having to pee at all (and I wanted to test so bad!!!). So now i'm just sitting here waiting until I have to go. And I don't want to drink anything because I feel like it would dilute my urine and make it harder to detect the hcg. Is that stupid?

Omg!!!
I'm pretty sure i'm preggers!!! I just tested again and this time I could see the line before I picked the test up. It's still wicked faint but it is definitely there. I waited 2 minutes exactly before looking and there it was. Af still isn't due until tomorrow so maybe it's still a little early. I'm going to keep testing daily until I get a strong pink line but I think this is it! Although I won't really believe it until I get a good line. I started taking my prenatal vitamins yesterday though, just in case (they were left over from last time). I'm so excited! I hope this is real and not my mind or body playing tricks on me.

I'm going to repost this as a seperate thread but I wanted to update this one. I'll keep you girls posted!

Snowygirl - did you test???
