    Default How dark does the + sign need to be?

    I just took a pregnancy test. My periods STILL not here (was due Oct 29th). It has a very very faint + sign. The other tests there was not even a hint of a +. I just took the test... Ive yet to take one in the morning. Theyve all been in the afternoon/evening because I forget in the morning. I have one left... tomorrow morning?! Would the + be darker?

    Ive read not to wait too long. When I first saw the + I thought there was a scratch on the cover part... but Im looking closer and closer and its def a faint + sign. Ive heard after a certain amount of time you can get a false + ? It hasnt been THAT long but it says past 10 min. I wanna take another but I wont be able to pee for a while and want to save the last one for the morning!? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    You're pregnant. Take the other test first thing in the morning when you wake up to confirm.

    Yeah, your first morning urine will have the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone. This MIGHT have been a false positive, so take the other test first thing in the morning just to be sure.

    FAT? If you eat healthy and stay active you won't be fat.

    I'm on my 3rd pregnancy and I'm still my pre-preggers weight.

    You are definitely preggers. Any hint of a sign is preggers. Take it in the morning as previously stated and you'll find it probably comes out much more clear.

    Yep, you're probably preggo.

    Of course, if there's any doubt still, get a blood test ASAP.

    Oh yeah. If you can SEE it, even just a TAD bit it means you are pregnant.

    I had a very faint positive sign too and that was even after waiting until the morning. I just had a low amount of hcg levels at the time. A few weeks later I went to a resource center and got a test done for free and it was still faint.

    Congrats.

    Wow!! Stop drinkin' the water, ladies!! Just kidding. Congratulations, Audrey.

    Your "I'm gonna be fat" reaction was the same one I had. I cried about it for a good 20 minutes, then mourned cigarette smoking. Then I was happy.

    + - Tests have a bad habit of evaporation lines.
    How thick is the positive sign? If it's a tiny sliver, and doesn't have color, but it's more of a shadowy looking thing, it'srobably an evap. Espicially if it's past the time limit, although + - tests tend to give evaps even before the time limit.
    Any line, no matter how faint, is conicdered a positive. But with the evaps..a good judge is does the line contain any hint of color at all? Even if it's the faintest color, if it's there, it's a positive. If the line yuo see is more shadowy, it's probably evap. Also, the thickness of the line. It should be thick,. not a tiny sliver. A sliver points to evap, but if the line is as thick as the control, that's a good sign of a positive.

    If you retest in the AM, it should be darker. I got my first positive at night, very faint, and still got a few neg. that same night, but my urine wasn't concentrated enough. The next mornign, I got a positive, and they stayed positive. ( I took about 32 tests that month. According to my bank statement, I spent abotu $400 trips to the drug store to buy preg. tests)
    I was a testfeign. Every day several times I took them, and when I did get a pos. I bought a ton more just cause i was in disbelief. SO yeah... I am intimate with the inner workings of pregnancy tests and brands.

    Oh yea - its positive. The + isnt as dark as the control line (that one is like burgundy) but its definately a thick + sign. Going to call PP as soon as I eat.
