Hi ladies. Today Af is 3 days late. THat is going off a 28 day cycle but I am not sure on that because this is my irst cycle off BCP. I took an ept test last night, and there was a very faint line. I had my mom and sister look at it so I know I wasnt imagining it. MY question is this, is there always a faint line there and it gets darker if it is positive or does this mean it is positive? TIA

Julie cd31 and going crazy!!!;)

It sounds like you're PG girlfriend! Congrats!

There's always a "control line." If you have any other line in the allotted time, as they say, "a line is a line."

Good luck to you!

A line is a line. Was it the color of the other line or gray? It could have been an evaporayion line. But if it was the same color only lighter then I would say it was a +! Its rare that you got it after the 1st month of bcp. I would wait a few days and test agin. It should get darker as the hormone builds up in your body. Good luck and let us know!

Thanks for responding everyone. It was a pink line but it was really faint so I am trying not to get my hopes up. I am going to test again on Fri if AF doesnt show. THanks again!!

Hi,

You could very well be pg, even after being off bc for only one month. A very good friend of mine got married last August. She ran out of BC pills before she was added to DH's health insurance, and she didn't feel like paying full price for them. They also figured, ONE time without protection won't hurt....SURPRISE!!!!! She was not even technically off bc at any point and she delivered a healthy baby boy this July.

Test again on Friday, but I say you are probably PG!!!! Congrats and have a H&H 9 months!

....if the line is pink at all...and you can see it at all...you're pregnant. It's light cause you're real early....the pregnancy hormone is what makes the test turn pink...if you did it in a few weeks again, the line would be darker...but...pregnant is pregnant!! Congratulations!!!!

WOW! No way could I wait until Friday! You have patience girl! Oh yes - you can absolutely get pg right away off bc pills! My best friend missed 4 pills on vacation and she is now due in January with her first. I say test again, but I doubt it's false positive.

I had 3 of those faint lines and I am one cycle of bcp too. My AF isn't due until this weekend and my positives were 2 weeks ago. It sounds like a PG to me!!!! Congratulations. Keep us updated please ;)

For me it was 3 false positives which is odd but since your late it's probably greeeeat news ;)
