In doubt

I took a home pregnancy test first response and it gave my a positive, although the line was pink and not red like the other line. But when I went to the doctor to get a blood test, it was negative. I was wondering why the home test was positive? I appreciate any explanation.

    Would that have anything to do with having hormonal imbalance?

    It could be that the line was supposed to be red.

    It could be that you had an evaporation line (waited too long to read the test)

    Or a million other things.

    I'd try a different type of test the next time you take an HPT. I wouldn't necessarily jump to "hormone imbalance"

    I would wait a week and retest. FRER's are way more sensitive than the Dr. office HPT's.

    Thank you! The pink line actually appeared at 2 1/2 mins.  But prior to that when I stopped taking "the pill" I didn't get my period for 2 months after which was in May. That's why I was worried about "hormone imbalance" :/

    I didn't know that the FRER's are more sensitive than the Dr. Office. I'll take another test next week. Just in case. Thank you for your response. I guess whatever happens we'll just keep trying. :)
