Yes, I had one last Tuesday (few days before af due), unfortunately af came (early) last Thursday. Have now learned about "chemical" pregnancies (fertilisation without implantation). I think faintness was due to fact that af wasn't due when I tested and not anything to do with chemical pg. Will never test early again. So I'd say (and looking at all the other messages on this thread) that congrats are probably in order for you!

I had a faint line, then a slightly stronger one a couple of days later. It turned out to be ectopic which was why it wasn't as strong as usual, but there are lots of other reasons for a faint result too that are far more likely, so please don't panic. Don't delay going to doctors if you get a pain in the side however.

meggmoo, buy a digital test, there can be no faint or not faint, it will either say pregnant, or not pregnant.

Yes, had faint line - in fact thought I was imagining it. REpteated the test next day - got another faint line. Then bought a more expensive test (Clearblue) and got a very definate line.

mrsmaddyd · 16/03/2006 14:00

meant to put strong.

mrsmaddyd · 16/03/2006 14:00

Id do another before spilling the beans. If your 5 days late though you may get a stronger line later on if you hold your wee in for 4 hours Grin you could do an early predictor one and that would be a definate ans. best if your srong enough to hold out till morning though

Mine was so faint I had to tip the test around to even see it, and nobody else could!

mrsmaddyd · 16/03/2006 13:53

Did your faint line come up straight away meggmoo. Mine are usually faint till af is about a week late when i usually test agin as still in state of shock and disbelief. I have 2 faint toddlers squabbbling as i type and a faint baby on its way. Good Luck

Seriously though, I had a very faint line when I was a week late once - the result is now upstairs shouting at her brother Grin

good luck to you Grin

WideWebWitch · 16/03/2006 13:43

Sounds like you're pregnant. I had a very very faint line with dd. She's 2.4 now! Congratulations!

earthtomummy · 16/03/2006 13:42

Yep. However, faint a positive is a positive. I tested a wk before my period was due and got the faintest of lines - you could barely see it. V. shocked. But if you do a neg. result you never see any line, however weak, I don't think. Anyway, DD3 is now 1. And gorgeous!
