Okay, the first line on the preg test was dark, but I could see this second line. It was REALLY light. You could barely see it, but you could see it if you looked. It blended in with the white, but then again you could see if you got up close and looked. What does this mean?

Some tests get that second very faint line if you look at it after the specified time period. For example, some tests say you will have results within 5 minutes and not to read the test after 25 minutes. If you read your test after the 25 minutes, then the results are no longer accurate. I would suggest taking another test and be sure to follow the instructions exactly.

Good luck...I hope you get the result you want.

I would test again in a few days--be sure to follow the unstructed time limits in the test!

I agree with the other posters. I would test in a couple days and look at the results when it says and not past the time limit it can be read. Let us know what happens.

Forgot to ask you, are you on the pill? Some brands can give you really light periods. Let me know.
