I just took my second pregnancy test and it had a very faint second line. I have been having some symptoms....dizziness, slight nausea, headaches, and have been very tired. Does anyone know if a very faint second line means anything?

Hi Cathy,

My best friend had a faint positive w/ her most recent pregnancy. Dr's tried to tell her it meant a neg result. She knew she was PG w/i two weeks of conceiving and tested days before AF was due. This is baby number 4. She proved doctors wrong when she went in for her first visit. Now she is 7 months pg. Some of her symptoms were being tired a lot and nausea. I'm no expert, but it could be a true pos. You may want to test again in a few days to see what a second hpt result turns out to be. If you get another faint second line, I'll call the doctor if I was you. Is your AF late? Good luck.

I've heard and seen alot of women saying that 'a line is a line'.... so going from what they say, and actually some of the HPT sites, I'd say you are pregnant!! If you re-test in 3 days, I bet the line will be darker, as your HCG gets stronger!!! Congrats to you!

I am supposed to start today, but have been having symptoms for about a week now. I think I'll test on Saturday again and go from there!!!! Wish me luck!

I know how you feel. Mine is supposed to start today too and I've had my pg symptoms all last week and this week. I took a hpt and got a very faint 2nd line. I'm retesting Friday and then going to the doctor's. Good luck.

Hi,

I also got a very faint second line and I am wondering if it means I am PG. I am not due for AF until Saturday but I feel extremly tired all of the time. I think I am going to call my OB just to be on the safe side. Good luck and I hope to see you on the July board.
