Three pregnancy tests showed faint lines, should I trust the result?

All 3 tests show a line- they came up within 2 minutes. I just don’t know what to think? Any advice? This happened with my first pregnancy 2 years ago…

Three? Yes, I'd probably trust the result. I'd also go out and buy a pink dye test, as they will often show stronger, if positive. In fact, that's what I did with my youngest. Light blue on the cheapies, very faint. Had a feeling it was right, went out to the pharmacy and got an expensive really early one, took it home and it was super strong.

Those are pink dye tests. Or do you mean a specific brand? Pink dye just means a test that uses pink dye rather than blue dye which those tests do.

Ah yes, you're right. The contrast isn't right on my monitor. Obviously I know the difference between blue and pink dye and what that means. I'd still go for a more sensitive test. I've had a good number of pregnancies and always found the most sensitive tests the best.
