faint line on 4 tests

Hi. I'm new to this board. I just wasn't sure where else I could ask. I thought I might be pregnant so I took a test.. I took an ept test which is supposed to have the + sign if you are pregnant. So when I looked at the results after the time I had a dark - and a faint |. So I waited until the next morning and took another one... same result. I took another one that afternoon... same again. Then I thought maybe it was just that specific type of test so I bought a first response test and I got another faint line. Has this happened to anyone else and then turned out to be positive. I have friends who say any line even a faint one is a positive. I would be 2 weeks and 2 days from Ovulation at this point. My dr. said that I can't come in until 7 weeks have gone by when they can do an ultrasound. It is going to kill me to have to wait that long. I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this or could offer me any words of advice. I would really appreciate it. We have been wanting a child for a long time. Thanks in advance.

S.

if you even got a glimmer of a second line on the first response test, then you are pregnant. if you weren't, it wouldn't show up at all. i know this because the same thing happened to me...i got a faint second line, and assumed i wasn't pregnant. eight months later, my son was born. :) go to the doctor...those are definitely positive results. (false negatives are common, false positives are nearly impossible) congratulations!
