Somebody PLEASE tell me what it means when your VERY positive test goes to barely positive. On Monday, I had 2 dark pink lines.......I just took another test today and it barely turned pink........Any advice would be great!!!

Were they the same brand? Different brands measure different levels.. so if they were different brands, maybe the second test needed a higher level...

Please tune in later for a new signature. :)

I've only had experience with 2 types of urine tests: First Response Early Pregnancy (FREP) test & Quick Vue at my hospital (supposedly sensitive down to 20-25). On the day I was expecting my period (I'll call it Day #1), I tested w/ FREP test (bought box of 3) with 6pm urine & had a very faint line. On day #2, I retested w/ 6 AM urine with 2nd test in box, and got absolutely no line at all - which seemed so strange since my 6pm urine the day before gave me a (+). THen same day, I went to clinic & tested with Quick Vue & got faint line again. Then day #5, I tested with 6 am urine again using the last FREP test in the box, and got a brighter pink line.

Not sure if my experience helped. I'm inclined to think my 2nd FREP stick might have been defective?
