too early to test, but line faint???
| Wed, 10-29-2003 - 8:50pm |
I decided early off in Septemer I wanted to start trying for another (I have a 5 yr old) so I went off Ortho-Tricyclen Sept. 18th, mid- pill pack, had no spotting . On October 8-13 I had a normal (pre-pill) period, afterward bloating - gone!! Then around this week, sore bbs, cramping, (did have ovulation pains like I remember pre-pill on 10/20) and fatigue (sleeping much better then usual) frequent potty trips.
So, silly excited me took 3 First Response 'early test' tests, thinking they's all be neg. so I'd maybe, not think about it...
First one on 10/28 @9pm neg took one when I woke up @ 10am next day, the pink dye rushed across, the test line went pink, noticed the pink dye kinda hung around and formed a lighter pink line in the positive side. I took another test this am @ 7 and.. same thing.(OH and this isn't an evaporation line, it happened in the 4 minute mark, I'm a dok & timed 5 minutes!!)
So I'm confused, doesn't it take 14 days for ovulation?
I think when I tested w/ my first bebe, I did test before my period was due, and with a Walmart brand. I know when I had my first OB test, and they ran the Hcg test the Dr kept asking, when was your last period?? And upped my due date since it was on the higher end.
Is this normal??
Did I jump the gun, and goof up 2 tests? Or am I.....???
ANY help would be great!!

I'm thinking.. maybe wait until Sunday to test again? Should it be darker, or just wait longer?? Dr. says no blood test until Nov. 14th!! UGH!!!

I know this thread isn't "mine".. but I share the "faint line" trait and can use some insight. I am six days late. My periods are regular. I seem to have all other symptoms... nausea, light headedness, heavy breasts, excess discharge etc. I did 3 HPTs. The first was negative. The second had a faint line. The morning sample tested negative again. This is really driving me crazy. We dont have the serum HCG available near to where I live now and the next option is a TVS. Any prognosis from anyone?
Thnx

It's probably just too early to get a definitely positive, or your urine was more concentrated on one than the other... ?
I gave a blood sample for the beta HCG and was supposed to know by now, but the lab says they will call me back tomorrow.... this suspense is killing!!!
Somehow during this time, I have started hoping for a positive turn... just wish the angels are watching over me.
take care all,
Sam
