    Faint line on pregnancy test
    I tested today with a clearblue pregnancy test the one that looks like a plus sign if positive. And just a straight line if not. Well I got a really faint line on the test today to show positive but can I relie on that? I am not due period till Friday or Saturday what do you make of it? It is there but can only see it in light I did use first morning urine xxx

    Wait for one week after not having period.

    Your period is not even due yet. Wait to see if you get your period or not. If you do not then test for pregnancy after.

    Actually, a faint line is still a line, its positive all right. When I was pregnant I had the faintest line ever, you could only see it with light hitting it just right and sure enough, I was pregnant.
    Though pregnancy test (VERY RARE) can do a false positive if you left it unattended for a few hours or if it's a dud. Make sure, go to a free clinic to get tested. They don't ask any questions and you don't have to be a regular patient. Best of luck!

    Faint line means you are pregnant, when I took my last pregnancy test the line was very faint and I was 11 weeks pregnant @ that point in time, you can retest again in 2 days, if you read the test within the specified time it means you are pregnant. Congratulations. I don't think you have to wait any longer, if it's a pregnancy you want start to take your vitamins. Good luck

    Folic acid and prenatal vitamins should be started at least three months before a possible pregnancy. If not known then it is safe to say start the vitamins now no matter what.

    Blood test will confirm pregnancy for sure.
