i took a pregnancy test tonight because i hadnt gotten my period and it was 3 weeks and 4 days late.
when i got my results, there seemed to be two lines but the result line was really faded but you could tell that it was there. do you think this is a fake result or is it a positive result?

That's how mine was and I was only a few days late. You should get tested at the doctors to be certain cause those tests aren't always accurate.

yea. go to the doctor to be certain, a really clear test is the clearblue easy digital...it says pregnant, not pregnant... its expensive but id pay anything that its worth to find out. i know what you mean. i couldnt tell if mine we're really faded positive lines or if it said negative, thats why i bought the easy to read ones. the digital comes in apack of two, so you can check twice. i really really recommend this because it doesnt leave you still wondering.

Hello, my test was the same the second line was very faint, I insisted that I was not pregnant so my husband called the number on the box and they said as long as a line shows up faded or not its positive, so here I am 6 1/2 months along. Good luck

Jess- I would bet $ you are pregnant!! My test I took had a faint second line and my pharmacist said that there is very rarely a false positive- three more testes later I finally agreed I was pregnant. Congratulations!

i would take a test in the morning when your levels are at there highest but i agree with the girls. if there is even a faint line, that is a positive result. i had 2 tests that you could only see the line if you held it up to a window and i was pregnant.

I only received one line when i took mine the straight line that showed positive but mine never made a plus. Just didn't make a negative either, so i had my husband take one and it came back negative. But i would make a doc. appointment to be on the safe side.

thanks all of you guys for your input. i have tried the window method just like Jen did. You can BARELY tell that its there but as long as theres something there then i suppose it would be a good indication :)
im making a doctors appointment today for an ultrasound just to make sure. i dont like needles so i dont want a blood test done :(
it may be more expensive but like Heather said, its worth it to know.
if any of you wonderful girls have any suggestions, advice, or just wanna talk, i have AIM: shortankute.
i also have Yahoo!: shortankute1
thanks you guys for so much of ur time and help:)

The same thing happened to me, the second line was really faint so I went out and got another home preg. test but a different brand. The second line was faint on that one too but it turns out they were both positive. I never really believed it was positive until the 3rd test at the Dr.'s office confirmed that I was pregnant.

I've been through this twice. With my third child the line was so faded you could barely tell it was there. I called the 1-800 number on the test box and they asssured me that any line means that the test detected the pregnancy hormone. Congratulations!! 

Name: jess | Date: Nov 3rd, 2005 1:52 PM
well i took another pregnancy test and that one showed up negative. i held it up to the light and still, it said negative. i really dont know whats going on....
um...i have a dr appt coming up soon so i guess ill find out then for sure.

i read that this has happened, you probably didn't have enough of the pgny hormone in your urine at night, try another test using your first pee in the morning. Good Luck!

mine was like that too as i had only concieved about 5 days prior.. i had no clue i was preg tho as AF never returned after my daughter was born. now im 6 weeks preg tho!

My doc said a positive is a positive no matter how faint so long as it shows in the reccommended time frame :D

hey jess....thats how i found out i was prego...i went to get on the patch and they have to give you a pregnancy test befor they put you on BC, and she said it came back negative, and then by the end of my visit my doc knocked on the door and wanted to talk to the nurse, the nurse came back in and said "well your pregnancy test came back negative but then it showed a faint line saying you where" so they sent me to the hospital to get a blood test done and the doc called at 4 befor they closed and said i was pregnant....!!!! I think your pregnant!! congradulations....and its only faded cuz your just barely prego :)

My result was the same (very faded), but I was JUMPING FOR JOY because I was so excited. I didn't doubt that the result was positive, and I believe you shouldn't either, so make sure you eat right and start your prenatal care ASAP.

We are so truly blessed to be having these little angels.

Name: jess | Date: Nov 21st, 2005 9:16 PM

Name: michelle | Date: Nov 21st, 2005 9:24 PM
to jess- sorry to hear that maybe you were pregnant and had a m/c is that a possibility?

I WAS ABOUT 4 WEEKS LATE AND WHEN I TOOK MY PREGNANCY TEST THE LINE WAS ALSO FADED BUT IT WAS THERE SO I WENT TO THE DOCTORS AND IT WAS POSITIVE. 

Name: k | Date: Nov 22nd, 2005 7:14 AM
i took a pregnancy test and i wasn't late at all! and it came up positive...the only reason i took it was becuz i couldn't eat all the stuff i love to eat! 

Name: Allyson | Date: Nov 25th, 2005 7:35 AM
thats how my test looked i didn't thin it was a positive so i took another one it looked the same also so i ended up taking 4 all together they were all the same then i went to a free clinic n had them do a blood test n sure enough i was pregnant!

That's tough, my test was like that too, and it was positive. I took another test just to be sure, but I think anytime you get anything in that second line, it's pretty much positive. It has to do with the pregnancy hormone...I would just take another one to get a piece of mind. 

Name: Kathryn | Date: Nov 28th, 2005 6:07 AM
Well your picture look like your pregnant kinda lol. When you lay down on your back after emptying your bladder does it feel like you have a hard lump in your stomach? also i had to take a written out pregnancy test before i found out i was pregnant. Try that instead of the lines 

Name: jess | Date: Nov 29th, 2005 7:26 PM
well i got my period on saturday...and its pretty heavy so im going to guess that the bloating was from not having a period for 3 months. so...i guess im okay. maybe all the weight gain and everything was from not having a period. 

Name: terri | Date: Nov 30th, 2005 8:45 PM
i think that it was a positive result because that is the exact same thing that happened to me this time. I took a test the same day that I was due to get my period and the negative line showed up right away and than the positive one right away but it was very faded but it was obvious that it was there.. and now I am 35 weeks pregnant. 

Name: Jinna | Date: Dec 3rd, 2005 7:34 PM
I would say its a positive a faded line is known to still be positive, just means its not detecting a high level of HCG yet 

Name: boo | Date: Dec 4th, 2005 2:23 AM
if you haven't noticed the giel that made this page found out the fafed line was not a positive so why is every one still answering her? 

Name: Christi | Date: Dec 5th, 2005 7:55 PM
I actually had to take my test 3 times
(i had taken the first 2 too early out of anticipation. )
The 3rd one i got a faint postitive result,so i went to the clinic and sure enough i was pregnant. It said in my test instructions even a faint result is positive. I f i were you i'd schedule an appointment with my physian ASAP and start planning for this new baby of yours.

It doesn't matter how dark or light the 2nd line is. If you see 2 lines, it's positive! take it from someone who has taken numerous tests that were negative. There is no 2nd line there at all when it's negative. I have a 13 month old, and the 2nd line was faint for her. My pregnancy test today also had a faint 2nd line, so I take that as a positive too!!

I THINK THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT CAUSE THAT IS EXACTLEY HOW I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT THE LINE COULD BARLEY BE SEEN BUT I AM NOW 7 WEEKS ALONG WITH MY 3RD BABY. MY ADVICE IS TO GO TO THE DOCTORS.
