Ami going crazy, I should have ovulated on August 3rd so I did an early pregnancy test today. The first test was negative after 5 mins, but after about 40 mins I checked the trash and noticed a faint positive line. The booklet says don’t interpret after 10 min’s.So I took another as 2 came in the box, and I think I did see a very faint positive line, but its hardly noticeable ever wondered if I was seeing things, but its there but very faint. What does this mean; also it took about 5 mins this time for it to show.Could it be that my hcg levels are not high

It could be that your levels aren't high enough yet. I would wait a day or two, and then test again, but either do it in the morning, or if possible hold your urine for 4 hours. That is the best way to get a result in early pregnancy. Some tests if you look at them right they can have a line where the positive should be, and its like slightly darker, or a grayish kind of color....and after you take the test, if you hold it in the light right you can easily think you see a line. But if yours was at least the right color then maybe. Just have to wait a bit and try agian.

Congratulations!!

The same thing happened with my first baby. I went in for a doctors appt. after the home one was possitive but very faint and even at the doctors the test was very faint, but it was still definately positive!
