*Updated* Friends BFP- am I jumping the gun?

So a good friend has been trying to get pregnant for 7 months now.  She has been calling and talking/ crying to me about it all these months.  It has been truly heartbreaking to go through with her.  

Well......  Wink  The other day she called and said this "I was supposed to get my period yesterday (Wednesday) and it didn't come so I took a test. It was negative. Again today my period didn't come so I took another test and there was a really faint line."  My initial reaction was a line is a line!

Yesterday she took another test first thing in the morning (this would be 3 days post missed period) and it was still a really faint line.  I immediately started saying "you're pregnant you're pregnant!!!!!!!!"

So here is where my question comes in because now I am nervous that I jumped the gun.  I got my "faint line" 5 days before my missed period.   Is this normal to still have a faint line 3 days after your missed period?  She is going to get a digital tomorrow because she can't today, I can't wait for her to just see the word PREGNANT.

    If she ovulated later in her cycle, then yes. I didn't get my BFP until 3 days after my missed period. It was faint on the 3rd day and much darker the next day. Is she testing with FMU? That should give her a darker BFP. Has she tried a digital? 

    If I were you I would maybe hold off on getting too excited until it is a nice dark BFP or she turns a digital. I had a chemical pregnancy earlier this month.  I had a faint line the day after my missed period (Sunday) and the same test result Monday. But I had cramping and bleeding the next morning. I hope this is your friends sticky baby!

    Fingers crossed for her! I'd get a digital asap, rather than getting excited over faint lines!

    I was getting a faint line 5 days after my missed period. It made me question whether I was pregnant or not! But a line is a line; higher chances that she is pregnant than not :)

    The strength of the line doesn't matter at this point. As long as there is a line then she's pregnant! How exciting!

    She said she had sex this morning and there was a little pink blood on the tp after. (lol this is funny I feel like I am ttc again!)  I didn't spot at all so it is hard to help her.  I am sure she is pregnant getting even faint lines 4 days after her period was due, but she is freaking out.  This is making me very glad I am done having kids!  TTC is so stressful.

    A line is a line...she is pregnant. I had the positive line faintly but not the control line...I was sooo confused until I got a digital.

    YAY for her :)

    FWIW, my pregnancy tests with this baby were totally differnet than my tests with Nolan last year. With Nolan, I had a faint line a few days before my missed period. With this one, my line didn't start getting dark until about a week afterward (I took a lot of tests...Embarrassed)

    Okay, so now she called last night and said she was cramping and bleeding  Sad  I told her to test again this morning but I am pretty sure this means it was a chemical pregnancy and she caught the tail end of the hormones leaving her system.  Here comes the bad part (flame away) on Saturday night we were getting so excited talking about her due date and stuff and I got off the phone and ordered her a Christmas ornament and had it sent directly to HER HOUSE!!  Man, I feel like the biggest b!tch in the world.  I called the company and it is already qued for shipping so I am going to call her and say something like "I had the wrong thing sent to you, can you just send it right back?"  Maybe I'll say if the box is opened its a problem so just stick in in another shipping package and I'll send her the shipping money.  I am so mad at myself right now  Crying

    oh no! That sucks. Tell her it's a gift for your dh that you didn't want him to see. Does eh live close enough you can drive over the day it's delivered and get it?

    Nope, that's the crummy part, she lives 6 hours away from me.  I am going to call USPS tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do.

    Yikes, tough situation. I don't think the post office will be able to do anything except deliver it to her. Maybe just be upfront with her and tell her how excited you were for her that you ordered it. Explain how terrible you feel now and that you realize you should have waited.  Tell her that it is coming and she can send it right back to you or throw it away or keep it until the time is right, whether that is next month or a year from now.
