Home Pregnancy Tests (HPT's)

[MadMikkie]

I'm really confused! I used Crystal Clear yesterday mid afternoon. I got a strong line and a faint line. In fact - you can still see the faint line on the test....it hasn't gotten any stronger than what it was yesterday and it's only marginally fainter. I'm 3days past due today.

Went to the doctor today and I don't know the brand she used - seemed to have 3 windows in it & was a white rectangle - and she got a negative. So then decided to do a blood test. Now waiting-either tomorrow PM or Wednesday PM

I've had a negative on a pt many years ago when I went to family planning clinic- knew there was something up so demanded a blood test from the doctor and sure enough - I was pregnant.

I really don't know what to think. I have meds I'm on that is not recommended for pregnant women, so I need to kjnow asap so I can remove myself from them and only use them if they prove to be more beneficial for me to be on them than not...you know what i mean there. If I can cope with out them.

So yes - real confused. Has anyone else had this experience? I haven't told the husband yet because I don't want to pre-empt....but I just need to 'talk' to someone because this is beginning to become stressful.

I used the same test and got the same result.

One strong line & one faint line.

Did the test again the next morning & got the same result.

I booked an appt for the next day with my GP (didn't tell DP, as I didn't want to get his hopes up) ... AND when i saw my GP told me when you get a faint line with any home preg test it means that you are pregnant

She did a test and she got the same result - One strong line & one faint line

She was telling me I was most likely pregnant( with a huge grin on her face) & I insisted on a blood test (had done at the hospital) and the next morn I rang her for the results ... Yep, PRESTO I was pregnant

I went on to have my 1st bub at 40

About the faint line, ... I still have THAT pregnancy test & that faint line is still there would you believe it AND my daughter is now 21mths

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BLOOD TESTS RESULT & I HOPE YOU RECEIVE THE ANSWER YOU ARE WANTING !!

I have all the pregnancy tests from my successful pregnancies - including the one done at a gp's office with my 4 year old. I'm a tragic when it comes to memento's. that's why I still have this one and haven't tossed it. I have 3 boys and am turning 38 this year.

I guess if the blood test is negative, I'll toss it and then tell husband.

I used Pregnow tests- bought 20 of them cheap on ebay. They were very good at showing my negative results (no false results at least) and letting me test without feeling like I wasting money for 4 months. Then on our successful month they showed a faint positive at 11DPO which got stronger with more tests over the following days.
I'd really recommend them to save money and let you test to your hearts content!
