Hi....I had responded to an earlier post with my situation...but it wasn't responded to - sorry to be a pest.

My AF is due today. I took a clear blue easy test this morning, which is supposed to detect up to 4 days before a missed period. The clear blue easy test has a control box and a test box. The line in the control box was bright, bold blue, however, the negative sign in the test box was very, very faint and actually got lighter after a few minutes. Is a negative a negative or is there a possiblity that I just tested too soon and maybe I could be pregnant? AF still hasn't arrived, but I'm not really technically late yet.

So confused........

Are you saying you got a faint line in the test window ? And it got lighter in time and faded to no line at all? If you got a line that you can see in the time allowed then its ++Hmmm... It could be to early if you dont get af in 3 days I would test again!

Yes....the negative line in the test window was very, very faint blue and got even lighter after a few minutes. However....the line in the control box, which is just to indicate that the test is working was bright blue. Does the Faint Negative mean that I could maybe be pregnant but just tested too early? I wouldn't even be asking, but the line was so very light.....I feel like I'm an obsessive freak! Thanks for responding :-)
