early pregnancy test

My husband and I have been trying for 7 months now. I am obsessed with taking home pregnancy tests and then being super disappointed. I took one today and saw two lines :)
However, the second line is extremely light. It's only about 1/2 as dark as the other one. What does this mean? Am I just reading into it that it's positive?

Honey, my advise to you would be to take one more to be sure....but you know what they say you never get a false positive....

Should I take another one right now? Or wait a day or so? it's just so hard to wait! I'd love to surprise my husband when he gets home! I have been extremely emotional today too, even before the test. Was crying because my xmas decorations got water damage and some were ruined. Then I burnt my lunch which set me over the top~ I could use some good news!

Are you late? If so you could take one right now and it would show, but they say the first pee is the best. If you get a good test it should show!

If you did it twice then that is true you are pregnant!

I wish I had such good luck...I am still waiting

wait 4 hours, don't drink anything extra. Then take a test. Even a faint line is a positive. I would say you are though. Congrats!

I've heard a 2nd line is a 2nd line no matter how faint... usually the color is dependent on the concentration of hcg in your urine! If you got it twice...I'd say you're probably preggos!! CONGRATS!!! :)

Your message gave me chills! I keep looking at my tests and there are DEFINITELY two lines! Wow! It's a roller-coaster of emotions that I've been crossing my fingers for, for 7 months!

with my first pregnancy i had a very faint second line when i did a home test. i waited a week and did another one and that one came out with no questions, i was infact pregnant. since you got 2 faint positives i would call your doctor and go in for a blood test just to be sure. good luck and congrats. i have been feeling pregnant for the last month and took 3 tests over the month and they were all negative. so either im not pregnant or its an ectopic. i will find out later next week at the doc though.
