I think I am imagining things

Hello all! I am still here wondering. My BB have been swollen and sore for about 4 weeks now, urinating like a mad woman, and I have been exhausted. I had a very unusual period last month. I am due for mine anyday now, so I decided to test. It seemed to come out negative, but when I looked closer, there was a very very faint line. It was either that or I am seeing things, which could very well be possible. Any thoughts?

it could be possible. they say a line is a line. you could just be really early so the line's not dark. it sounds very promising! good luck!

What kind of test did you use?? I used a CBE test (the kind that is digital) and said I was negative but I pulled out the strip and it showed a very faint line. So I guess what I'm saying is I have the same question. And I'm sure you have heard that a line is a line no matter what. I don't know.

I used answer or something like that. I will not use digital just because of that. I figured it may need to be pretty strong to pick up! Good luck and let me know what happens!!

I really hope you are still online cause I have a question for you about pulling the strip out?? I am late and have symptoms but the tests are coming back so very faint I can;t tell if I am imagining a positive or not. I read how you pulled the strip out and wanted to know how long after I test should I pull it out?? I just tried it on the last test i took and saw the line more clearly but don't know if its becuase its been about three hours and isn't accurate, when I take my next test I am going ot try that but wnated to know how long I should wait so I don't screw up the results?? I took the same test as you.

Thanks for your help!!!

Well I did my first one wrong cause I had it in backword, but when I pulled it out it had a vey faint line. Also when I took the second one and the test said not pregnent and I pulled that one out it also had a very faint line. Now I have never used this kind of test before but I have heard that a line is a line is a line. I am going to say that the levels were not strong enough to tell the unit that you were but if you can see a faint line I am thinking you are as well as me.

I just think I am pregnent esp after the faint line.

I hope this helps.

If you saw the same line that was faint before but better after opening it up then I would say you are. But I have hear that there is a line in there that people only see when opened. From what I understand that is not a positive. With the digital one you have a cartrege that you put in and pull out and that is what I was wondering about.

I have two children and in my exprience and haste, I have always started testing about a week after conception, and in both cases have seen a very faint line at first and then a darker one as things progressed. I would have to say that a line is a line. I had a faint line today! I will try again in the morning and let you know.

I guess my question is that is it the same with the digital ones that you put a cartridge into it?
