    Faint line after time allowed
    I had my last period on April 25th. I have been having lots of pergnancy symptoms like morning sickness( not allways in the morning) and head aches and lots of moodyness. I have taken several tests and I get a negative then a few hours later it's a faint positive line. I have hear about evapo lines but would this ocure with every test? Smelling the garbage can today made me vomit.. please help I am feeling queesy:(

    The results after the time limit are false. The test must be read during the time limit of the test itself. Anything after that, whether it be 5 or 10 minutes is inaccurate.

    Try another test, maybe a digital, it takes out the guesswork. You should have had a period since then, so if the second comes out negative you need to see your OBGYN.

    So would that make you about 8 days late? I agree, you should get a digital - it takes the guess out of it. If you have not got your period in about 5 more days - call your doctor and get an appointment.

    Go to the health department and have a blood test done, they are more accurate, then you will know for sure.

    With my first child, the first test I took was negative.
    Two days later I took another test that came back positive.
    The first test I took was still in the trash, so I dug it out and it had a semi faint positive line that wasn't there when I throw it away.

    So, that does happen. But you really can't go by that.

    If you are pregnant, it will be a definite positive when your body has built up enough hormones to be detected in the correct amount of time for the test. For me, it was 2 days later with morning pee.

    Also, you could tell that it was not evaporation lines.
    It was a semi faint positive line perfectly noticeable.
    The evaporation lines are bigger and streaky and wavy and discolored.

    The blood tests are fairly inexpensive. It just depends on your doctor.

    Where I live, in Michigan, the health department charges 15.00 and has the results in an hour. Good Luck!

    A lot of evaporation lines look identical to pos lines, not distorted at all. I would see your dr and ask for a blood test, or just wait and keep re testing every week for a month or until your period comes. Good luck and I hope you get the answer you want!

    I'm having the same symptoms so I believe you need to confirm that issue with your OB/GYN>.

    You could go to planned parenthood and have them give you a test. Most PPH give the tests for free. :) Good Luck!

    I agree with most everyone, get a blood test done. I took 5 at home tests and still went to the ER and made them do a blood test. But the likely hood of a false positive are about one in 234857256724674298671819487581376247562. Lol
