So I tested last night. It obviously didn't turn immediately so I waited 10 minutes... There was a little line as small as a strand of hair... pink in color.
I tested again this morning...it is the same. Light pink color with the barest line.
I have saved the tests and keep looking at them. Thinking that my eyes are batraying me...
With my two kids ages 3 and 1, I never had a line this small. Should I recheck Sunday or in 7 days?
A line is a line, you're pregnant! Congrats! At this point, I'd reccomend calling your doctor to do a blood test. Good luck!
Id say check again, if it gets darker then thats a wonderful sign for sure

Apparently my cycle was off from bfing so when I thought I was testing at almost 6wks I was really only about 3wks which is why the line was so light. I waited a few days, tested again and it was darker. Had to wait a few more days to go to the dr, but everything was good when I got there. Good luck momma. I hope you get the answer you want.
CONGRATS Misty!! :cabbage: A line is a line! I would call your ob and let them know you got a positive and see if they want you to come in for a beta. Sticky :babydust:
A line is a line... huh? :wub: I keep looking at the tests to see if the line is still there.:wub: It is, but because it is so light, I'm questioning it. Does anyone have the list of the pregnancy tests that measure HCG? If I remember right the ones at the dollar store measure the least amount of HCG. This is what I have used this time. I want to get one of the digital tests but want to take it when it'll show up...
I'm so hoping for a strong BFP!
:bellyrubs:
I used the dollar store baby test because they're cheap. I'm not sure how sensitive they are compared to others, but they gave me a light line at 3wks pg this time so I'm guessing they're pretty decent.
Colee,
How strong was your BFP?
It was so light Dh thought I was seeing things. When I went to the health dept to take the test (have to have a BFP there to get medicaid to see a dr in MO) the nurse tried to tell me I wasn't pg because the line didn't come up right away - I'd had 4 light BFPs at home in the 3 days prior. I asked her to wait the WHOLE time allowed for the test and about a minute before the time was up the line came - still very light. She was :shocker: and said "I've never seen one take that long and still come up." When I went in to the dr and had a dating US that's when we figured out I was 17days not as far along as I thought which is why the tests were all taking so long and so light. They all came up before the time was up and I had to be in a well lit room to see them, but they were consistently there.
Thanks! Mine comes up in about two minutes, 10 minutes is the time for the test. I'll wait a week, then test again. I see my gen prac March 8th. I have hmo so then will get a referral for my ob.
Glad I could be helpful. Sounds like a BFP to me. Might just be super early. I hope everything works out well for you. I don't get in this room much, but I'll try to watch for an update next week.
