Does a pale +ve pregnancy test mean anything?

[LaWeasel]

I got a very pale BFP this morning and DH is worried that it means I'm not really PG!

Could it just be that I ovulate a bit later than average so hcg level is a bit lower than usual on first day of missed period?

False positives are quite rare. Most likely it means you're pregnant but that it's still early days- congrats!

If I were you I'd get another test for reassurance though.

Any line's a line - definitely positive! False positives are not an issue with hCG tests - congrats!

Usually it means YES! Congratulations!

A line is a line!
I had 3 faint lines before a nice dark, clear one!
congratulations

Thanks guys!

Will show DH the thread for his proof (and probably wee on another stick in a few days!)

I hd two weeks of faint lines. Then I gave up and bought a digital one. The result is currently playing in the garden.

Cingratulations, you are pg.

Congratulations .

With DD I had a very pale dot but I claimed it as a baby . I did do another test and it was darker. The baby dot is now 7 and making a puzzle book.

Congratulations! My first one was very faint, did a series of three in a row a couple of days in between to check they were getting darker. The line detects HCG which will only come from pregnancy, it's very low at first and gradually increases which is why line is pale and then gets darker.

Absolutely agree with the others.... When I did test with my first one it was soooo faint the dot, hubby said mmm not sure, did others and they got darker!!! With this pregnancy, did a test, thought it was negative (was very cheap kit!) didn't think any more of it, then did another days later, then positive. Know sounds gross bit fished out the old ones and there had been an extremely faint line!!!! Just shows to double check!!!! Congrats up you all!

I meant to you all not up you all, big typo error there!!

if in doubt buy a digital test then they practically shout at you

YOU ARE PREGNANT (or not)

I say you are pregnant! I got a very faint line when I tested a few days before my period was due and yep it was a positive!
Congrats! :)

My first test with DD was on the day my period was due but I just had a feeling. The line was so faint that DH said I was trying to see something that wasn't there.

That "wasn't there" is now 10 weeks old.

I took another 3 tests that week to make sure, the next 2 were quite faint but the last one was darker.

Congratulations.

Yup, I had a v faint line 10 days dpo, then a little less faint each day for the next few days, then a v dark one about a week after my period was due. Congrats!!
