Confused Pregnancy Tests

Hello all,

Hoping you can help. I have a 6 month old baby. My cycles started again when he was 2 months old. Prior to that pregnancy, my cycles were exactly 28 days, every month without fail. Now, I'm averaging about 33 days. However, today, I am about 10 days late. I did a test on Friday and there was a very faint line on the positive side. I called the 1-800 number, and they told me to read that as a positive test. Not convinced, I have since done two more first urine tests which came out negative.

I have several other pregnancy symtoms, (fatigue, water retention, sore breasts, mild cramping, weird craving for m&m's) but that could be due to a new baby and impending cycle. Hubby is driving me crazy asking for a definitive answer. I told him I wouldn't have one until one of two things happen - either I get my period, or we have a baby.

Should I wait a few days and test again? Should I use the same brand? What do you think?

Any help would be appreciated.

With the confusing results, I'd suggest calling your doctor and asking for a blood test. Those are more reliable than the urine tests anyway.
