help needed. pregnanct test dilemma xx?

Question

Hi Guys. My period is due in a couple of days. me and my partner are trying for a baby so i thought i would try my luck and buy a pregnancy test. i got 2 in a pack as i thought i would try one this afternoon and another in the morning (excitement getting the better of me) I did what i needed to do and sat on the toilet in anticipation. Low and behold i saw two lines. One which was a little bit fainter than the other. i sat and looked at it for a couple of minutes before calling my partner. we were both overjoyed as we have been trying for 3-4 months now. about 10 minutes later I looked at the test and the line was fading out. it was barely visible but still there. another 5 minutes and the line had completely gone.I took the other test and it was negative? Can someone please advise on what could have happened? and if this has happened to anyone before as me and partner feel a little down now not knowing what is happening. Thanks in advance xxx

Answer 1

I would say that you probably are pregnant (and I am very sorry for giving you hope if you are not). Test again in the morning with your first morning urine and see what happens. Meanwhile, read the instructions on the test very thoroughly to see when the read is accurate. Results read after the 10 or 15 minute window are generally regarded as inaccurate.



For knowledge and entertainment, go to www.peeonastick.com





Edit: I just went to peeonastick and they have two brands of tests that say if they have 'disappearing positives' it is the same as a negative result. There is tons of information on this website.



Edit again: OK, I found this on the POAS website:



"13. The line disappeared after the time limit! Is it still positive? Please see Current Issues & Alerts for information on this ongoing problem with Answer Early and First Response Early Result tests.



A positive result will generally stay positive for 48 hours. Some very faint lines may fade and become difficult to see, however. Note: sometimes a line will appear briefly as the dye in the test passes over the area where a positive result would show. This is not a positive result.



My suggestion: as soon as urine is applied to your test, set a stopwatch for 9 minutes, 45 seconds. Place the test on a flat, dry surface and walk away. When the alarm goes off, read the test from the same distance you would read a book-- allow 15 seconds to examine the test. If there is a pink line (or blue, obviously, if your test uses blue dye), you are pregnant. If there is no line at the 10-minute mark, you are not pregnant or you are testing too early and there is not enough hCG to be detected in your pee. Note: women who have experienced the current "disappearing positive" phenomenon often had a positive result at the 10-minute mark, only to have the line disappear minutes or hours after that. The vast majority of these women have not been pregnant.



If you really get what looks like a true positive, and it disappears, I suggest calling the manufacturer and asking for their input. They may compensate you for the test as well."



Baby dust!

Answer 2

Ok similar situation and now 9 weeks pregnant. So stay positive. First off anytime a line shows for positive, then that means the test detected the hcg pregnancy hormone. That is the only way for this line to appear. There is very slim chance to get a false positive and a better chance of getting a false negative. Now when i took mine the line was so faint i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me because i wanted so badly to see that line there but my hubby confirmed. I did not get a very dark positive line until 2 days after my missed period since the hcg hormone doubles every 2 days. Now based on when you took the 2 nd test that could explain why it came out negative. If you took it immediately after or even an 1 hour after you took the other one, than it is possible there was not enough hcg for the 2nd test to pick up since most of it was released on the first one. Being that you definantly had a positvie no matter how faint it was i would definantly take 1 more after your missed period. Good LUck but i dont think you'll need it. Sounds like you got it this time.

Answer 3

The same has been happening to me, I took a test that said positive but the line faded, then a negative onelater then another positive,over the last couple of days i hae had several more negatives but another positive, the lines have faded on all 3 positives - my partner hasnt been around to see any of them yet! only the negatives, best thing to do is keep trying as at the minute its 50 - 50 are there any other symptoms as well? if no joy in a few days - go to the docotr, i am as I cant keep paying out for tests! good luck! xx

Answer 4

Could just be a malfunction with the test since you tested so early. I would recommend waiting until AFTER your missed period and then test again. If you say your period is due in a few days it isn't too long of a wait. Also when you do test next time around make sure its first thing in the morning. Good luck!

Answer 5

Your def Pregnant congrats!!!!

It happened to me, i took a test nad had one line very bright and the other very faint and when i looked at it later on in the day it had faded..this is because ur so early in ur pregnancy- i was 4 weeks pregnant when i did the test and sometimes it doesnt always come up as clear as it would if u were 8 weeks preg say!

So i would just double check it with the doctor there test are abit more accurate, but im now 33 week preg and thi is excatly what happened to me in both my pregnancies. Congrats

Answer 6

This has happened to me, what has happned is you may of over wet the test, this is a common mistake as they are so sensitive, the best thing to do is wee in a cup and dip the test in and then you are in control of it. I found the digitial test is the best. Hope it all goes ok though, dont think about it, me and my boyfriend were trying for 3 years and nothing and then i gave up and it happened my baby 7 months now! There is a way which people say is crap- holding your legs right up after u have sex, lol apparently its rubbish but i done it and 5 weeks later i was pregnant! Worth a try people r prob going to say its crap but whats the harm worked for me! x

Answer 7

Well, I really hope you are pregnant but on the website PEEONASTICK.COM they say that some of the test that have a faint line disappear means a negative.. I REALLY Hope I am wrong.. But check the site and check what brand of HPT you took and see if that says it. Otherwise i would say that its still to early to test and try again in a couple days.. you could still be pregnant so do not lose hope.. You have not got AF yet, so its not over yet.. you still have a great chance.. I so praying for you... GOOD LUCK and BABY DUST!

Answer 8

Some pregnancy test do not work, I would suggest waiting til your period is due then if there is still nothing buy another test, good luck we have been trying for a year now but we are bless with our son so we are ok to wait. Hope you get your results soon.

Answer 9

Not to worry. . . The results fade over time... This has happened to me before, I took a test and it said it was positive and then later on I looked at the test and all of the results were gone!



Try taking one of those test that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" instead of the line ones!



Best of luck to you.. I hope you are pg!! :]

Answer 10

well if u had two lines then ya ur pregnant(congrats im trying) and u cant trust the results of the test after a few min...and the second one could have been broken or u just did the second one too early...wait like 3 to5 dayand test again...try to save it till morning thats the best time...Good luck!!!

Answer 11

From what I hear the accuracy of the test is usually only good for 3-5 minutes after you take it, after that any results that show up are usually invalid--so there's a good chance you ARE pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 12

probably you did the test very early. Do it whn you miss your period by one or two days. If the one faint line came and gone so you might be pregnant coz faint line means you are pregnant but it's gone so it's 5o% chances . Do the test again whn you miss your period. That will be accurate. Good luck.

Answer 13

mine did that an im 6 months preg. now so just wait like 3 days an get another or go to the doctor an get a blood test that will tell you for sure

Answer 14

Did you read the test to early?



If it says read it after 5 minutes then you should read it then - any earlier or later and you might get an incorrect result.



Take another test, or go to your doctor.

Answer 15

That's ok!!! Your pee evaporates. Sometimes women who get negatives wait too long and a second line will appear. In your case, it might disapear. You're pregnant, don't worry! take the other test in the morning. It will definitly say you're pregnant!

Answer 16

you probably will want to wait until your period is at least 5 days late. i know that this is an exciting time!! enjoy it with your parter. save the seconf test until then and if you see 2 lines then, its time to go to the doctor for an "offical" test.



good luck!!

Answer 17

It could have been too soon for good results on the test. Test again after you have missed your period.

Answer 18

Did you take the test right after the first one? You might not of had any hcg the second time. Wait til in the morning and take another one. I bet it will be POSITIVE...Congrads...

Answer 19

properly my first concept is which you're pregnant. in case you had unprotected intercourse, are 3 weeks previous due AND have been given useful consequences on the assessments, then you are pregnant. you could not get a faux useful. Hmmm that could placed you at approximately 7 weeks gestation so which you're very almost 2 months alongside suited now. i'd say circulate see a physician or circulate to planned Parenthood. planned Parenthood would be astounding on account that's exclusive and you in all probability won't would desire to pay plenty if something in any respect. From my own opinion, i'd say shop it or provide it up for adoption. i think of in case you will no longer be able to look after shielding it, provide it to a kin who desperately needs a infant yet will no longer be able to have one. they are going to pay on your scientific expenses and something you want/want in the process the being pregnant. you would be able to desire to even have an open adoption and nonetheless be waiting to get p.c.. of your infant and function some visitation without being financially/bodily responsible for the infant. in spite of you could elect to do, please see a physician, communicate on your loved ones approximately it and in spite of in case you keep the infant, provide it up or abort (which i'm hoping you do no longer) PLEASE ensure you think of it by way of one hundred% and make sure you're o.k. cautioned in the past you're you opt which you could not take returned. and that i visit function that planned Parenthood is great for procuring a loose being pregnant try to somebody to speak to, they don't seem to be continuously uncomplicated approximately your the information on abortion. I have been given pregnant whilst i became 17 (and had my son when I was18) and that they gave me 3 brochures. One on being pregnant, one on adoption and one on abortion. The abortion brochure states that there is not any scientific information to assist melancholy and unhappiness after an abortion. it rather is the only element i want you to comprehend in case you elect to abort. somewhat some human beings won't experience unhappy till later in existence yet many experience responsible, unhappy and depressed over the alternative to abort very immediately afterwards or maybe choose they might circulate returned in time and take it returned. i comprehend this for a reality because of fact I frolicked counseling young women for extra credit in considered one of my college instructions. interior the destiny, get on delivery administration and be extra cautious. stable success!

Answer 20

Answer 21
