Hi me and my partner have been trying for a baby for 6 months and today we did a test and I came up with a positive result but the line was horizontal and a few hours later I checked it again and it had a VERY VERY faint pink line the right way. I have just done another test and it showed negative but I'm not due on my period until Sunday. Does this mean I'm pregnant?

You HAVE to take the test first thing after you wake up the first time you pee that morning... ONLY. If you took a second one during the day.. I'm not surprised it was negative. However since you aren't late for your period yet... that reason alone means you will likely get a negative...

Take another test in the AM... or wait and see if your period comes.. Personally.. I'd wait until you are two weeks late for your period... then you can count on a reliable result.

You're testing too soon.

A pregnancy test must be taken exactly as the directions state. A test viewed hours after it was taken, is no longer a valid test.

I don't understand what you mean by "came up with a positive result but the line was horizontal". Does a horizontal line indication pregnancy according to the directions? Why does it matter that the line was horizontal? I don't understand what the significance of a horizontal line is.

You should wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine, and follow the directions exactly, do not deviate from them at all.

Based on what you wrote, I'd say that you tested too soon, and you tested incorrectly, therefore you cannot rely on the outcome of that test.

Good luck.
