If I were you, I would get a digital test b/c all of my friends that have had the faint line issue used those for more piece of mind.

dollar store tests are real PG tests, and a line is a line. is IS early, but if you see a full, faint (but colored) line then it is a BFP!! ( i sound like i work foer a dollar store, LOL i do not, i just don't believe that you need to pay 18 bucks to get a BFP, unless you choose to test 18 times, HAHAHA LMBO.)

they will get darker in several days, but in the beginning, all of mine were light. Think about it - the HCG doubles daily- i think that is the way it goes? but it is still very low, so it is not until it is a much greater amount, like when you are SUPPOSED to be testing (at like 18 dpo - altho WHO does that?? LOL) that it will be as dark as the control!

BTW, congrats!!!

BTW, you can get the generic ept & it has the same sensitivity as the name brand!

Thanks ladies, you are always so helpful!


I did pick up a digital EPT only because I had a coupon! LOL!!!!


I will take it soon, not sure if I will take it in the morning or wait, I want it to be worth the wait if you know what I mean.


I looked on the package of the EPT's and they didnt list the level of hormone they detect but I bet it is in the instructions.

I agree to get another test. One month I had had a definite faint line in the first 10 min and was not pg. The month is was I got the same kind of faint line for 3 days without out it getting darker. I conformed on the first day with a digital so I knew I was but continued to test with those tests and it took a long time to get darker. GL!

I just wanted to let u know I was reading a thread on the TTC #1 board & a girl had a BFN with one brand, then 2 BFNs with the EPT brand the next day, then she went out & got the Digital Clearblue Easy & got her BFP.
