    Am I pregnant?
    Hi,
    I've been wondering if I'm pregnant because recently I've been getting a lot of symptoms and it just seems a little different. I'm extremely tired to the point where I don't want to get off the couch which is unusual for me. My breasts are killing me and my nipples look like they could cut through my shirt! I've been having pretty frequent headaches and nausea on and off through out the day. Well and the big one was not getting my period yesterday.. So today I went to walmart and bought and equate hpt well it was positive very light but positive... So now what? I thought by the time you expect your period a positive should be super dark... :confused:

    Actually as long as the line showed up in the time frame that is explined in the instructions it should be a positive pregnancy test. I have read that false positives are very uncommon and that it is more likely to have a false negative.

    You're next step should be to either take another test in a couple of days and then make an appt with your doctor to get your hcg levels measured via a blood test, or to just skip doing another pee test and go to your doctor and get the blood work done.

    When I became pregnant the first time I was 3 days late and my 2nd line was very faint but my blood work confirmed that I was 8 weeks pregnant.

    Good Luck and Congrats!!
