faint line or evap line?

[2CheekyMonkeys]

i remember thinking i may be UTD while i was breastfeeding and had no period return. had a few symptoms etc but always got a negative. i guess all you can do is wait a few more days and test again and if you still think you are you should get a blood test. hope it all works out for you.

I was the same. My AF never returned, I just got pregnant 14 months between my boys.
I got a negative with Jaidan then 10 minutes later there was a faint line. Same with Ashton, the doctor put the test down and said it looks negative then 10 minutes later there was a plus so she said "looks like your pregnant"
So fingers crossed that you get the result you want

Oh you sound similar to me - except for the bf bit which I am not. I had bfp but it came up so faintly and after 10 minutes - but I couldn't get it out of my mind so I just bought more tests and did them obsessively every day (bit exxy but then I rationalised that it's a pretty important thing to know)

I ended up getting a stronger and stronger line each time. I am now 15 weeks and worked out that I must have been 2 or 3 weeks when those lines were coming up faint.

I would suggest waiting a week to re-test. (Not that I could contain myself that long but maybe you can??)

Hope you get the result you want.

Does anyone know if BF effects hormones? I thought hcg was ONLY present in pregnancy, not lactating... but I'm no expert.

That's right HCG is only present in pregnancy (or some cancers - but this is rare). Breastfeeding does not and can not affect your HCG level.
