Confused about preg test?

Question

Alright, I posted another question a few days ago... but I wanted to repost and update a little.

I think I might be pregnant. In fact, I'm thinking I'm almost positive that I am, but I've had a lot of weird experences in my life and I need some advice. Im 21, and I am aware of what I need to do ultimatly (go to the doctor and get professional advice and what not.) and I will, but it is Saturday night and I can't do that right now, so I would like some piece of mind for now.

My last period was Feb 16. I had unprotected sex many many times throughout Feb and the first two weeks in March. I would say, nearly every day, maybe skipping one or two days in the middle somewhere. My cycles are not always on time, so being a day or two late is not abnormal, but they are usually somewhere around the 30 day mark. My last period, however, was, I think 45 days, leaving me with no period in Jan.

On the 12th of March I had sex and noticed that there was blood mixed with CM on the sheets on and him. It didn't make into much - nor did it continue after that day. We had sex after that, and no blood was mixed with it whatsoever after. It wasn't much, just enough to notice. Shortly before that, I was noticing how my bbs where feeling full and painfully heavy. (Mine are fairly large to begin with, so its easy to notice when they get heavier. lol) They were not sore much, but I did notice they couldn't take quite as much abuse as they could before. My period never ever comes that early in the month, so I chalked it up to gaining weight or something because I've been feeling INCREDIBLY bloated, like how I feel before AF every month, but TEN times worse.

Around that same time (maybe a day before) my boyfriend noticed spots on my areolas that were not there before. I looked them up, and it appears they are the montgomery glands. After having seen this, I thought I might be pregnant. I took a HPT FRER and it read BFN. I continued on with my days and then noticed that nothing was sounding good to me to eat, except taco bell or mexican food and I could eat enough to choke a horse. If I get to hungry, I start to feel sick and lately, right after I eat, I feel sick -- but dont ever throw up. (as of yet) The feeling subsides after a while and I don't notice it much.

I am urinating more frequently then normal, but by no means am I going a ton. Just more then normal for me, but I am drinking a lot more then normal because my throat is hurting a ton and is dry. This is another curious thing to me, I was feeling seemily fine, then my throat just started hurting one day (as if it was sooo dry like when you wake up in the morning and need water) and it continued for two days, then just - Stopped. The day it stopped my nose got so stuffed up that I can hardly breathe. Now, my nose is running .. Im notcing a lot of breast pain as well.. not tenderness to the touch, but sharp like pains and tingling sensations in my nipples.

I took another test (dollar store cheapy) the other night. I did not use my first morning urine, but I read that these tests are very sensitive. I used the droper to drop five drops of urine in the cassette and it quickly went across the test area, and a control line appeared. After about 30 seconds, I didn't see another line, so I got up and walked away. (I was told that they usually appear quickly if U have hcg in your urine.) a while later I went to use the bathroom and just glanced at the test and thought I seen a line ... I picked it up and sure enough - a pink line.. SOOOOO incredibly faint.. in the test window appeared. I showed my boyfriend and he seen it too, so i know it wasn't in my head.

I read about evap lines and read that they generally appear gray or dull in color and can show up at any point. But, this wasn't a ghost line, or dull or gray for any streach of the mind, it was pink. I read reviews from various websites and seeminly these tests get very good reviews and don't show evap lines often. The previous test I had taken didn't show anything other then the control line. Could it be a very faint positive that I just missed? Or maybe tested to early and my hcg wasn't high enough in the late night urine?

I am going to test again, but those pregnancy tests can be expensive, so i'm trying to hold off. I know If i purchase one, I will use it.

Currently, I'm three days late .. well, two days late for my period, with no signs shes on her way. I usually get cramps and can tell .. but nothing like that.

Opinions? And please leave out the rude ones.. thank you.

PS. I do not have an STD neither does my boyfriend. And We did not have oral sex at all, so, no that is not what caused the sore throat.

Answer 1

i definitely think you are pregnant especially since you seen two lines =] i also went through the same exact thing these past two weeks. me and my boyfriend are TTC and i thought FOR SURE i was pregnant up until last night. my nipples were darker, i was so bloated, i was peeing 3x more and I had a lot of clear discharge. (and i was a week and a half late for my period which NEVER happens.) I thought this was our month until last night i was laying here and i felt a gush after sex and sure enough, it was my period. i was absolutely devasted becasue i had really thought for sure i was. I dont want you thinking im discouraging you and saying, "oh nope youre not pregnant." cause i really think and hope you are. because i know when i would ask questions on Y!A, some ppl would be like, "nope no shot, youre not pregnant." and that would really make me feel s-h-i-t-ty. I will keep you in my thoughts and PLEASE keep me updated!!! Good luck sweetie<3

With OPK, the test line has to be at least the same intensity of color or darker than the control line. Your test line definitely looks darker than the control to me but it is hard to tell with photos and you have to be sure to read the test after the right amount of time has elapsed. You have a really clear, solid line for the OPK test line. I would say that is positive. That is what my positive OPK looked like but I watched my OPK for several days straight and saw how the test line changed over time and then on the day when I got a positive result it was definitely more clear of a line than the previous days. You will get a test line on several days but you have to wait for the line to become darker than the control line to know it is finally positive for ovulation. I thought my tests were positive on several occasions until I saw a real positive and then that left no doubt in my mind because I knew the difference from doing so many OPK tests. Unlike the OPK tests, any line on a pregnancy test (even a very faint line) is a positive result. You will not see an evaporation line unless you squint at the test, have to hold it up to the light to see the line or basically examine the thing under a microscope. Also evaporation lines are colorless. My first several pregnancy tests turned up a very, very faint line and some of them turned up with no line at all and so I thought perhaps I was seeing an evaporation line too. So I used like 15 tests over a period of 3 days until I was confident I was definitely seeing two lines. Basically I kept buying different kinds of pregnancy tests and I kept testing until I was satisfied that the line was dark enough that I was not imagining things. And even then I didn't fully believe the results until I had a blood pregnancy test and the doctor confirmed it. I like you searched the internet for positive pregnancy tests pictures and just could not decide if it was truly a positive I was seeing. Go get some more tests and get lots of different brands until you produce a darker line. I even got some expensive tests (digital) but those actually said "not pregnant" when in fact I was. It took 2 full days after seeing faint lines on other tests for those supposedly ultra-sensitive error proof tests to say "pregnant" when I used them. Its just a matter of time. Gosh I hated waiting 3 days to find out for sure but 3 days finally passed and I got my answer.

Answer 3

Like they said if it is pink its positive. I had a faint positive and did the same thing you did. The first couple of seconds didn't see anything. I walked away, came back of few minutes later and their it was. I would go to the store and buy a digital that says PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT. Thats what I didn't when I got my faint positive and sure enough it says pregnant. So good luck and congratulations!

Answer 4

If u see a pink line your pregnant. You def sound like u could be. I would suggest taking another test on 2-3days and see if it gets darker.
