    hi,

    Once there is a line at all, even if it is very very faint, it is a positive pregnancy test. I had the same problem with my ones showing a line and then it slowly disappeared. But if the line shows, it means ur body is producing the hormones that are only in your body when you are pregnant. It could be very early in your pregnancy, and if u give it a few days and test again the line will get stronger.

    So Congratulations u are going to be a mummy ;)

    A pregnancy test works by detecting a hormone, hcg, in your urine - if this hormone is in your urine you will see two lines - if not you will see one. It looks like congrats are in order!! I hope this was the result you wanted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭TwoMums2Be


    As the others have said you have had a positive result :) they second line can fade which is why it says to check when the 3 mins have passed & not after 10/15 mins!

    You could get a digital test which will give you an idea of how far gone you are...just be sure to do it with first morning urine for an accurate result :)

    Congrats!

    Sounds like congrats are in order!

    As Twomums says, use one of the digital ones that say "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant".

    I got a faint line on my first test & then did the digital one the next day to make absolutely sure.

    I still have photos of them :D

    Did you do it first thing this morning?

    hi op, here is my story

    with my second pregnancy, I was testing neg for 8-9 days before I got a proper positive

    I was on the pill, then one day I noticed that I felt really sick, headachy, sore boobs, naseous, basicallly really extremely pregnant.

    I was really freaked out.

    I bought pregnancy tests and they were neg, but after 10mins I noticed a really faint line. I did more tests 2 days later, same thing.
    I bought digital one that said neg , but a normal test showed the same faint line after 10mins

    I was in tesco following day and they were out of branded tests so I bought cheapie tesco ones. They are just paper strips these showed a pos result.

    2days later a digital one said pregnant.

    then doc confirmed it by blood test, said I must have had low hcg levels.

    My daughter is 2 now, delighted with her

    Best of luck op I hope you get the result you want:)

    early morning urine is best especially if early in pregnancy.
    I woke at 5am for a wee and did it then, that one was a pos.
    I don,t know how I left husband asleep:o

    Best of luck

    Could it be possible that I am pregnant then with me having 4 test with a faint line?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 677 ✭✭✭CarMe


    Hey OP,
    When i did mine it came up negative, i just stared at it for ages then somebody walked it so i threw a teatowel over it. Forgot about it and when they finally left i went to bin it and it said i was positive!
    Now i have a little girl who will be one next month.

    I really hope you get what you want!!

    In my case I was but noone can tell you only a doctor really.
    Could you do one in morning ?? or else keep urine in a sterile container til you get to a chemist??(not for too long)


    Early morning urine has highest conc of hcg as it has been in body at rest over night.
    Doc will prob go by blood test as time of day wont matter for blood hormone levels

    Fingers crossed for you

    did a test this morning the 2nd line was faint so faint that when i 1st looked i thought it was a negative 2nd line was white not pink what the heck dose this mean?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 677 ✭✭✭CarMe


    Can you get a digital clear blue test? This will simply say pregnant or not pregnant and will also give you an idea of how long.
    I hate those liney ones!

    Second line on a first response is supposed to be pink too.

    Get another test and dip it in a sterile jar/cup of your urine. You're possibly testing wrong, and still use first morning urine.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭Rachineire


    Early days yet then! maybe the hormone levels are still really low! fingers crossed :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    If you have ANY second line on the test then you're pregnant. No two ways about it, doesn't matter if it's faint or not.

    +1
    Use a digital test!! No lines it just says pregnant or not pregnant!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭NinjaNikki


    Did a test it came up negative the digital one I'm still going doctors though having symptoms of a pregnancy though so confused and upset at the moment :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭Rachineire


    What do the instructions on the digital test say? it might be a case of you only get a positive if your hormone level is at a certain point. going to the doctor will be the best thing to do! If you have that human (whatever its called) hormone in you that means pregnancy- so dont despair yet! :)

    that my test

    Hi, Hope the doc visit goes well.

    I got positive results from a cheap test in the pound shop! The second line was very faint. Then I tried about ten more and they were all faint. It was about a week before my period was even due. The same day in the middle of the day I did a digital clear blue test and after 3mins of blinking it came up positive saying 'Positive' When I went to the doctor two days later, the doctors test came up negative. She said start taking Folic Acid and come back after two weeks.

    I knew I was still pregnant because you don't get that many positives if you aren't. I took my folic acid and waited. The wait killed me because it doesn't feel real until the doc confirms it. Well that is how I felt. The doctors urine pregnancy test requires a higher level of HCG the pregnancy hormones. It's 200 needed on a digital one and 600 is needed for the doctors. The non digital ones only need the level to reach the 100s.

    Start taking folic acid just in case. Dont lose heart if the doctor said you aren't! She told me I wasn't and now I'm 15 weeks pregnant :)

    Good luck.

    It looks like two lines! I would take that as a positive! You don't get false positives. When is your period due? Going on that test I would say you are pregnant but it's just too early to get a definite answer.

    period is due btween 3rd and 7th of every month but has not come this month did in april though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭Hannibal Smith


    I had that happen to me with the lines. Both times they were pale, but both times I was pregnant.

    If you get 2 lines, even if the second one is feint, that's a positive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭NinjaNikki


    did a clear blue test said not pregnant so not sure what to think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,781 ✭✭✭clappyhappy


    Is it today is Dr appt? Wait and see what he/she says. I know its difficult but try to stay positive, if you are pregnant all this worry and stress isn't doing you or baby any good. Best of luck :-)

    i know it's jst hard when i have done over 20 test and the clear blue digital and the 2 first response are negative but the rest are postive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭NinjaNikki


    UPDATE

    Been doctors apointment was 30min late and the heat was unreal but eventualy i sat down she said how can i help i said i took some HPT and some are postive but some are negative was wondering if i could have a blood test said no need your pregant a HPT if come postive you are so i was like in shock a bit having my doctor say this to me said when was my last period and she said i'm about 6 weeks so i now have a midwife apointment and a scan in 2 weeks time what the hell is all i can say should i not had a blood test or anything?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    nope, Dr's pregnancy tests are not even as responsive as normal home pregnancy tests. Mine did a test for me but told me once I had a +ve test then I was pregnant, his then took 20 mins to show up as a definite +ive, whereas I had done a CB digital (without using first urine) and that showed up as pregnant straight away. As for blood tests I didn't get one till my first hospital appointment.
    Best thing to do is just relax until your midwife appointment.

    i'm worried now stressing to be truthful because i did a clear blue digital with not my 1st piss of the day it came up not pregnant but all other test have come up pregnant we shall soon see when the baby comes up on the screen in 2 weeks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 308 ✭✭SSFG


    I have been told that you can get a negative test when pregnant, but you can't get a positive test unless you are pregnant. The gp tests are not as sensitive as the HPT's, so congrats, try and relax and look forward to your appt in 2 weeks.
