 Faint Line on HPT 
Ok, so I know that they say "A line is a line", but I took a test this morning (AF not due until maybe Sunday - I am really impatient).  Anyways, I see something like a line there, but it is more than just faint...it is like barely visible, more like a pinkish shadow!  Anyone have something like this and was actually PG?  I know I will take another test in a couple of days, but the suspense right now is killing me! Oh, and does anyone know if those digital tests can be used before AF is even due? Thanks!!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
sounds like a PLUS to me! congrats!
  First Response is usually the most accurate for early testing..digital I would wait until after AF was due..
 
 
   
 
  PS- when I had tested I must have held the test up in EVERY angle possible in different lighting since it was so faint..LOL but it was positive!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
I did the First Response 5 day before AF test and took it many times.  Everytime, it had the faint pink line and I was pregnant.  So I say CONGRATS

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
Can you post a picture of it? I would wait to use the digital until you get a nice BFP line of a regular test. The digitals need higher levels of hcg to come up "pregnant".
  GOOD LUCK!!!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
A line is a line as long as you can see it from a normal distance
  Sounds like an early pg positive test to me though!  
  what brand of test did you take?  The digitals measure at 50-75miu of HCG, if you take a digital and it's pos. you are def PG!! Congrats

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
Mine was very faint. You should buy one of those test with the positive or negative sign. I took an answer and got a faint line, then I took the other one and got an unmistakable BFP

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
Thanks everyone - I used an Answer Early test - and I would not say that I could see a line from a distance, maybe from a foot away and that's it?

  That sounds good to me! I got my first very faint BFP on an Answer Early at only 9dpo!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
A Line is a Line.
  I got my positive - (very faint pink line) I might add - 4 days before AF was due - using First Response.
  I waited a few days and tested again - and the line was much stronger......
  I'd say Congratulations - Test again in a few more days just to be sure - but looks promising to me!!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
Yup, this happened to me.  I thought I was imaging the line to be there.  It was REALLY FAINT four days before my period (just like you I could not wait).  I retested and it kept getting darker.  Well, I am now 16 weeks preggo!!  Congrats!

 Re: Faint Line on HPT 
sounds like your pregnant,congratulations!!!
  i also took the same test very early, and I didnt see a line so I threw the test away. When i went back into the bathroom, the test was on top of the garbage staring at me so for some reason i picked it up.  I stared at the stick and saw a very faint white line. You could hardly see it bc it was a white line on top of the white background-it looked like thats where the pink line wouldve been had i been pregnant-if that makes sense.
  Anyway I called the 1800 # on the box& told them what i saw & they said if i saw anything other than the white blank space, then I was indeed pregnant!!  Sure enough i took more tests the next couple of days and the line got darker&darker!!
  Congrats again-wishing you a wonderful 9 months!!!
