Could the test be wrong?

Hello!

I am new to this board but hoping for some reassurance.

I took a pg test two nights ago, it had a very faint line so I tried again in the morning and again, a faint line. I was feeling a little queasy the last few days but didn't really think anything of it. I called the dr. yesterday and they had me go to the office to do a blood test. Last night I had a very little red discharge (sorry to be graphic) and this morning a brownish discharge but very little. If I am pg, I am very early so could it be implantation or could the test be wrong?

I should tell you that my first pg ended in an m/c (I now have a wonderful 14 month old boy) but I am panicked that I might be going thru something bad again.

Just thought you could help keep me calm.

Thank you,

SS

When was your last period? Usually when you take a hpt test and you have a faint line it means you are pregnant! MAybe something you don't want to hear since you have a 14 month old. The reason for the faint line is because at the time of the test you didn't have alot of levels of (hcg) in your urine. You should to ease your mind take another test early in the a.m. with your 1st urine and that will really give you the answer. The streaky and brownish blood happens in alot of women and it means implantation.. But definitely the symptoms and the faint line mean PREGO. The ease of mind will be the blood test. I'm in a similar situation and have a boy turning 3 tomorrow. Don't be afraid be at ease with yourself and trust your body. Every woman goes through different stages in her life and all women have different symptoms. Have faith i God for he is always there for you. Let me know how things go in the doctor's: my email is dulcecita26@yahoo.com. Hope everything goes well.

take care, nelly

My last period was 8/20 but my cycles since I went off the patch have been between 35 & 42 days. I will take another test tomorrow morning and pray the dr. calls me tomorrow to confirm everything is okay. I guess I just got nervous when I saw the brown discharge since my last experience with that was not good.

We actually want our kids to be 2 years apart. My mom thinks I am nuts, maybe I am but time will tell.

Thank you Nelly and I will let you know what the dr. says.

Hope everything goes well with you too.

I hope so too. My boyfriend is in the military and i'm so anxious. See I already have 3 yr old (tomorrow b-d) and it is not his. He came into our lives 7 months ago and he is the most wonderful man, but, he is not sure he wants any kids...So I tell him everything but haven't told him my m/c has not arrived yet. He will be leaving next june for a whole year to a place a can't go with him. Hopefully we will marry before he goes away. But I wish you the best and if it is what it think it means we will be expecting in May. Good Luck..
