Nothing but faint lines for a peestickaholic!

Bbelle88 · December 2010

I am a serious peestickaholic.

I can't tell you how many pregnancy tests I've taken since getting my first BFP.

All of the digitals pop up "Pregnant" no problem, but the line tests (I've taken lots of different brands) have a line, but it's so faint.

When I went to the Dr to confirm my pregnancy it was very faint there too, but the midwife said not to worry about it because it was still so early in the pregnancy.

I keep retesting in hopes my line will get darker EVENTUALLY, but nothing!

This now has me convinced something is wrong and I don't want to let myself believe I'm really pregnant.

Did anyone else get only faint lines and still go on to have a successful pregnancy or is anyone going through the same thing? I guess you would need to be a peestickaholic yourself to relate

My first one was faint too so I didn't believe it. I went and l took two digital ones and they said pregnant. I haven't peed on another one with lines yet so I don't know if my line got darker. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about though.

Girl, stop wasting your money on those things! If it says you're pregnant, then you're pregnant. So congrats!

I was *just* about to write this. I'm a peestickaholic. I get them at the dollar tree though so i'm not using expensive ones. I did have 3 glasses of OJ this morning which I have NO DOUBT effected my result. But i'm probably about 5 weeks, maybe more, and i'm wearing maternity skinny jeans today (my 3rd DC, and i'm ALL bloat) and I guess I tested just to make sure i'm not an idiot for wearing maternity pants already. But it's either these or sweats, and I already owned these from my other 2 DC's. You'd think I would have learned from my DS's that I need not to pee on a million sticks. What I or WE I should say

is if there's a line then we ARE pregnant. I have major symptoms, morning sickness at 3pm everyday, heartburn, back pain, and my nipples are like wicked sensitive. My doc appointment isn't until Tuesday, but just keep your faith in god. It's all in his hands now

Some brands never get darker, and you are wasting your money. If you had two lines you are pregnant until told otherwise by a healthcare provider. Congrats!

I took a bunch of HPT's. None of them got dark. They were all faint. Clearly from my siggy you can tell that a line is a line and the light or darkness of one doesn't matter.

Congrats!

I had the same problem but it was only the test line the pregnant line was dark. I drink a ton of water, so I ate some roman, high sodium, before bed and cut down on the liquid for a day and then the line was darker. I saw my doc Thursday and they confirmed that i am 11 weeks now and that all is well.

I was a becoming a peestickaholic, but I finally stopped after my DH told me I was going to drive myself crazy...I have a had couple of miscarriages so I was worried.

good luck to you!!!

Just to update everyone, I miscarried over the weekend.

Always trust your intuition, between the brown spotting and the faint pregnancy lines I knew something wasn't right.

Bright red blood began yesterday morning. I went to see the Dr today, she said everything seems to be passing just fine.

We did blood work and hopefully everything will be out of my system quickly and we'll be back to TTC very soon and I hope to be back soon!

Until the I guess it's off to the loss board

What an exhausting couple of days.
