I was wondering I had a light positive line on Fri morning and for some reason i don't feel big or alot of symptoms. I still had a light period on oct 10 until about the 12 but i am going to have a blood test done on Monday or Tues. Do you think the test was wrong or am I just imagining?

Hi. I am in the same situation... kind of.

Were you trying to get pregnant?

I was on two forms of birth control when this happened. My positive was extremely faint. Since then I have had a period and 3 negatives. Today I saw a doctor and she said that up until a few months ago she hadn't heard of false positives but now knows they do happen. It may have been a faulty test, or did you read the test after the given time?

Do you feel other symptoms?

I definatley have symptoms but am hoping they are all in my head!

I had a blood test today and will have the results back in the morning.

Blood tests are generally more accurate at reading earlier on in pregnancies as they detect lower levels of HcG.

Have you done another urine test?

Good luck getting the result you wish for.

I just had one of these this month(yesterday in fact). DH and I have been ttc off and on for a while, this month I didn't think I was pg but AF never showed on the day she was supposed to (you could set your calender to me typically) so I took a test and got a faint faint positive, then I took another test the next morning and it was even lighter than the day before. Called my drs office for a blood test and doc called me later that afternoon to tell me my level was 0. Not even a miniscule amount of hcg in my blood. So I ask her how I could have ahd the positive preg test at home, she did not have an explanation. I used the First Response test, which I've normally been very happy with. The timing of all of this just really made life difficult for me as I was making some life changing decisions, but I know that everything happens for a reason....Sorry so long. Good luck to you and your outcome!
