Question

Very Faint but Positive Test

So I believe I have a possibility of being pregnant. AF was due yesterday so I tested with fmu clearblue, which was actually at about 3 am this morning, and got a very faint but clearly there positive. I've taken three more tests today trying to get an accurate result but nothing and still no AF just some light spotting which is very unusual as I'm usually VERY regular and heavy with severe cramping from day one. I'm thinking it's possible that the levels are just too low to detect and I should wait a few days before testing again. The positive was there and it wasn't just me who saw it, nor was it an evap as it appeared within 3 minutes and with the other symptoms I highly doubt it's false. Has anyone else had this?

Forgot to mention. The first test was Clearblue, showed a very faint but positive line, the next two were a generic cvs brand right after the first to confirm, both negative, the fourth was Clearblue about two hours ago and there's an even fainter line. Is it really positive?

It sounds like you're pregnant. You may want to try a FRER or a First Response Gold digital. FRERs should read positive around 8.3miu of hCG and the FRGD should read positive about 18miu of hCG. Most tests, like generic brands, usually read positive anywhere from 25-50miu of hCG. So if you're getting faint lines of those it would stand to reason that you'd get a decent line on a FRER and possibly a positive on a FRGD with FMU tomorrow morning.

hCG should double every ~48 hours so you should have darker lines in a day or two. Hopefully it darkens enough that you're confident to call it your BFP. :)

Pregnancy possibility is high it sounds like, see your doc to verify. also would you mind looking at my chart. my temps havea slow rise but idk if im going to get lucky this go around or not. i am 7dpo so i know its early but my temp rise has been super steady, like super steady. do you think i could be prego? i have been feeling very tired, nipples are sensitive somewhat since yesterday, some discomfort in lower area. and i am also very moody. my chart is just weird. do you think its still a possibility

When testing several times in a day you should note that your urine can be diluted if you are drinking liquids to help you go and the urine hasn't been in your system long enough to gain the levels needed to show up on some of the cheaper tests. You should use morning urine, say around 6-8am, depending on when you get up, for your test HPT. You'll get a much better answer then but it does sound like good news for you :)
