Morning all,
I did a First Response test first thing this morning as my AF is due today and hasn't arrived. Have had period-like symptoms for the last three days but no AF. I normally get these symptoms before AF but not for this long so I was wondering whether (touch wood!) they could be pg symptoms??!
ANYWAY, I did the test and one line showed up (which is negative, I know) but when I really peered at it, I could see another faint, faint,faint line. You have to really peer at it to see it; it's not immediately visible. Could this be positive, or is the line just there anyway?

I tested when I was 2 days early and got a very very faint line like the one you described - am now sitting, typing with one hand with the result of the line breastfeeding aged 9 weeks!!

That's what I thought Geepers.
I just wondered if the second line was maybe there anyway in the background ready to show up positive if that was the case.

I used a digital one and was shocked at how quick it worked and its so clear. Good luck

Thanks lady; that's a fab link!
Now I'm squinting even more to see if any of them look like mine - as far as I can remember, anyway. Left it at home. Am obsessed, but not obsessed enough to bring it into work and look at it under my desk

First Response don't usually give false lines, however, I'd expect them to be showing quite obviously pregnant by the day your period is due.

You need to test again in a day or two.

Hey Gateau, hiya I hate squinting at those blooming lines... the only way to tell is to splash out for a digital one and get a straight yes or no, or wait three days and test again if you can bear it. Sorry if that's not helpful. Good luck though, really hope it's a bfp!!
