    Home pregnancy tests

    Test says wait 5 minutes but discard after 10.
    At 8 minutes a very faint line appears both days why? And what does this mean? Thanks

    If we are using pregnancy tests with similar operation, one blue line indicates that the test worked. Two lines indicate pregnancy. If your period has not started by January 12, 2008. Take another test. Take the test when you first get up, that can makes the line(s) darker.

    All pregnancy tests are different in how they read results, so you need to read the instructions and see what 2 lines mean.
    If you aren't due until the 12th, I think it's too early to be taking a HPT... to get a more accurate result, wait until you miss you period.
