Well, AF isn't due until 10/13, but I just couldn't stand the wait any longer! I tested this afternoon after I was done with clinical (nursing school), and there is a Very, I mean VERY Faint line. Is this a possiblity of pregnancy? I know it's way too early to tell, but I really want to know now!! My teacher just about ordered me to go home today from school because I was so nauseas I thought I was going to be sick a few times. Not to mention that someone had to hold me up in the elevator because I just about fell down when we went down floors.

Pregnancy isn't something we are planning for right now, and I just can't seem to get this off my mind that I could be. And that very faint line isn't helping me any!! I know I'll just have to wait a few more days and test with morning urine, but geese, why should I have to wait so long to find out!!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Well the first test I took was neg i was 3 days late. I waited intil I was a week late and I took to test both had I very faint line. But I new I was Pg but I took a test again when I was 2 weeks late very dark line so I knew it was postive. I was PG. Went to doc he said I was 7 weeks Pg that was Monday. But I am married we didn't really plan it but I have wanted a baby for awhile now. Good Luck and hope you get what you want.

Thanks for your advice. I think I'll just wait a few days and test again with morning urine. I tested this afternoon and maybe there just wasn't enough? We are married (5 yrs), and have a boy(5), and a girl(2). He just doesn't want anymore. And since I am still in school (graduate in June) and had planned on going on for my RN when I'm done, it just isn't good timing, but when is it ever good timing? Thanks for your help, I'll let you know in a few days how it turns out.

Since it is so early, the faint line is going to be questionable...it very well could be a positive, but its hard to tell. My best advice is to wait a week or so, and test again, if its positve again, and hopefully darker, then I would believe it. Right now I say there is a 50/50 chance of being positive. Maybe you should try the new digital, you don't have to guess, and though we all know a faint line means a maybe, this wont give you a faint line, if it finds enough it says so. LOL I havnt used one, but the idea behind it, is to take out all the guess work.
