HELP! CONFUSED?

Hello

I have been about two weeks late already, but for some reason this is somewhat normal to me. Lately, my period has been off. The only reason I think I am pregnant this time is because I have been feeling sick. Sunday, I started with diarhea and then vomiting. Monday thru today I have been feeling nauseous all day, and I can only eat a certain amount of food before I start to feel ill.

I planned to take a pregnancy test Wednesday morning, but my husband and I couldn't wait anymore. I ended taking it Tuesday afternoon. A faint but distictive line was showing, but about 5 minutes later it disappeared. Does this mean I'm pregnant? or is this mean a negative line. I plan to take another one tomorrow morning, but I really would like anyone's imput.

Liz-

They say a line is a line. I would try testing again in the morning with your FMU (first morning urine), it's got the strongest amount of the HCG hormone. Maybe since you tested in the afternoon, there wasn't a sufficient amount to hold the positive line? My guess is to wait and try tomorrow. From what it sounds like tho, I think you are preggy! :) Good luck to you!

Thanks for replying. I really hope I am because my husband and I have been trying for three years. We decided to give up and leave everything to chance. I will try in the morning to make sure.

It is strange that it dissappeared, usually it stays or gets darker over time. I would definatly test again, and even after that, no matter the answer I would go to the doctor and get a quanttive blood test to see. Since you have been off lately you could have ovulated later than you think, and maybe your just starting to produce hcg. Since you have been trying for 3 years, have you tried any meds from the doctor to help things out? I'm sending you lots of baby dust...From a very fertile lady hope you get that BFP that you so deserve.
