They should get darker and more obvious every day. Try to use red dye - blue dye is horrible.

I agree with both dmentia & mummyheff. A second line of any kind is usually positive. 5 units or more = pregnant. Most tests don't usually register a result until a minimum of 14 units for early tests and 20 for regular tests depending on the brand. So any line most likely means you're pg. You're early - so watch it over the next few days and see if it darkens.
