Is this a really faint positive or am I just going mad?

[Brynndle]

Day 3 of missed period. Using a supposed early pregnancy test but it's a cheap one off eBay with no brand so who knows.

I SEe a faint line but would expect it to be much darker on day 3 of a missed period.

Yep, I see a line and I don't usually on these threads. Plus I haven't even got my glasses on.

Congratulations.

Could it be an evaporation line?

I see the line

That is a line, mine were really faint with youngest. Get yourself a decent test. Congrats!

i see a line. Would expect it to be a bit darker by day three of missed period though? Maybe try a different brand of test

With my second pregnancy I got decent lines a couple of days after my missed period (which are like clockwork so knew the expected day pretty certainly) on those cheap strip tests, got DH to go out and get a different type of test and he brought back one of the normal tests (that look like yours) but a cheap generic brand that they sold in the local co op.

The line was much fainter than the even cheaper strip tests and even remained that way the next morning when I did the second one in the pack. I was very much pregnant and DS is now 3 weeks old

Obviously you will want to double check with a more reliable test but I'm going to offer a tentative congratulations

Thank you everyone! I did a few more tests, all very very faint lines but have ordered a digital one for tomorrow. Here's a pic of one I just did now. (Original picture and edited picture to try and see the line better)

They are positive
