Pencil Thin BFP?

I am a few days late and so I took a CVS brand (FRE compared) test last night and got a very thin light blue line, wasn't confident with it so I took the other one and the same result happened. This Morning I took two EPT tests and the same thing happened, two pencil thin blue lines.....are these positives or freaky tests? The lines are not fat like the test lines but they did apear pretty much right away.

I think a line is a line, and if it's faint/thin it's just becuase your body might not have alot of hcG yet. Give it 2 days then retest... hcG levels double every 2 days. Good luck! I hope that BFP sticks!! :)

Yeah I would like to think that as well but I was one of those unlucky few who dealt with that time when FRE was having those dissappearing positives on their tests etc....a few dissappointment sthere, so now I am so skeptical unless its clear as day:) So a few days I wait with crossed fingers. Especially since a freind of mine that was pregnant at the same time as me last time is now pregnant again and we loved as couples going through everything together. It was very supportive to our husbands and us:)

I totally understand.. I'm actually going through the same thing. I had a chemical pregnancy last month and so my lines were VERY faint and thin, and then they got fainter and disappeared altogether. Here I am this month and I tested for the first times yesterday adn the line was SUPER faint again...so just crossing my fingers that it gets darker. When will you be testing again? I'll probably test again tomorrow morning...good luck! I hope it gets darker for you... :) :) :) *~*~*~*sticky baby vibes*~*~*~*~ to you!! :)

Hi, the same thing happened to me. I used the CVS early pregnancy test and got a super thin light blue, almost gray because it's so faint, line. The line stretches all the way up and down to the edges.

I had pencil thin lines with EPT as well but AF arrived 3 days late:( How did you all do?
On to the next month for me! I think I will stick to my FRE and BJ's brand tests (I think they are the Equates under another name) those two tests even with the few mishaps with FRE a few years ago seem to be the best for me anyway. They never give me shadow lines or evaps or any kind of wired results:)

I had a similar experience last month with Clearblue Easy tests in which I received a very thin (pencil thin line) on 2 of the 3 tests and a greyish-blue evap line on the 3rd test.

I ended up getting my period 3 days later on 12/24/06, but it was very light and shorter than normal.

I took two FRE's over the past 2 days and got a BFN on Monday afternoon, and what looks like an evap line this morning so I know I'm not pregnant from last month, but there is a HUGE possibility/probability that I am this month.

I have 15 Internet cheapies on the way to my house and AF's due between tomorrow and Friday. I'm just gonna test every morning until AF shows up because I'm totally addicted to peeing on sticks and peeing in cups and dipping my Internet cheapies! LOL

Hopefully we ALL get the results we're looking for!!! BFP vibes to all!!!

Yeah.....I guess I would have to admit to being an addict as well:) What brand of internet cheapies did you get? I really think that is the way to go for me! Testing is the only way I get through those last days of waiting hahaha! Good Luck!!!!

I went with the Early Detection Pregnancy Test strips from thefertilityshop.com. They're $0.75 each. I still haven't received them in the mail yet and I ordered them last Wednesday, so I'm hoping they're in my mailbox today!
