Is this a positive result?

[Sailhome]

Looks so faint, I can't tell!

If a positive is two vertical lines, I'd say defo positive.

If that looks faint to you I'd advise a visit to the opticians

Two vertical lines is positive - I can see both lines but one is so much fainter than the other

That is not a faint line. I would say definitely positive

OP . Second the optician visit.

Short of a baby appearing in the window and waving, I think that's as good as you'll get!

Ha ha ah thanks everyone, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going made before telling my partner

Yes it is a definite line, the pregnancy line, tend to be fainter than the control line.

Aww congratulations!!
When did your last period start?! We will probably be due around the same time :) xx

These posts are getting ridiculous. That's quite clearly a line.

Yes I can see there's a line, I was asking if it was a positive result because it's so much fainter than the other line. It's my first pregnancy test, really no need to be rude.

It would be a little more genuine if people would just post a thread saying 'I just got a positive test and I'm really excited!'

but excitement makes people do funny things!

Wow how unkind

My DP was convinced my test was negative with a faint line.
I used a clearblue digital and it came up with pregnant on it and I still wasn't sure whether I was pregnant or not lol!
Don't apologise for asking lovely, we all need reassurance xx

Cross post. The instructions in the box will say that any line appearing means a positive. If you look, there sound be a picture on the leaflet of a fainter test line next to a stronger control line with the words 'positive result' or something to that effect next to them.

Always useful to read the instructions cos different brands of test have different instructions re how long to hold them in wee for etc.

Alright people!? Don't click on test threads if it gives you the arse?!

Congratulations op!

Thanks Littlemisssugarplum! I'm just very new to this! My last period started September 22nd, you?

Ah thanks

Me too :) I'm finding it all overwhelming too and it's hard to believe it when you actually see a positive test lol.
Mine was 30th sept so you're a little ahead of me. You've done well to put testing off, I tested 3 days ago for my positive lol xx

My DP was convinced my test was negative with a faint line

Mine thought it was negative because the instructions said to wait 2 minutes but the line came up straight away!

He thought because it wasn't the same as the other line that this was a negative. He had me starting to doubt myself lol xx

The second line is'nt supposed to be as thick and dark as the 1st line.

So on those type of tests, 2 vertical lines, no matter how faint, is a positive, there would not even be a hint of a 2nd line if it was negative.

Congratulations.

Yeahh I know, typical man though lol! Even showed him the digital one that said pregnant on it and he still wasn't sure haha. Xx

A faint line is still a line! Congratulations!

Ha ha Ye I've never seen a positive test before (or a negative test!) so I thought I'd better check with some other mums to be! Aw lovely sugarplum, I had absolutely no idea at all - it hadn't even crossed my mind I may be pregnant! I've just been promoted at work to a very senior role and I figured it was stress holding up my period ha ha!

Aww what a lovely little surprise for you then :) xx
