Its been a week and half since I was suppose to get my period . I've heard that any results after 10 minutes of taking a pregnancy test have to be disregard that way you don't get confused with a evaporation line . The past week I took (2 ) blue dye color pregnancy test and both came out with an extremely faint line barely visible but could still see it and it showed up 3 minutes after I peed . What does it mean ? I've also heard that extremely faint blue dye lines can be false positive . I don't know please help :(

Hi nichcax3,
If testing was done correctly, and you read the result in the time frame stated on that particular test, then you are likely pregnant, even with a very faint line. Obviously you will want to test again to confirm the result.
When in this past week did you test? If it was early in the week, try another test in the next day or two. If you are indeed pregnant, you should see a more obvious line. Or you could see your doctor this next week for a test there... which they may want to do anyway to check your result.

I took the test last week on Sunday and re-took it yesterday but it was still very very faint couldn't see it unless you got really close to it , do blue dye lines do that or could it only happen after the 10 mns ?

That far apart, you would usually see a more obvious line the second test. What brand test did you use? I'd try a different brand of test to compare (with the same sensitivity), or just see your doctor and test
there.
If you test again at home, be sure to follow the directions carefully, including when to read the result.
